Our editorial team have been working hard collecting material for the Diamond Jubilee features we will be sharing with you over the next few issues. We must say a very big thank you to Jean Wilson, a local historian who has kindly provided us with some wonderful material on Longcroft House, which we feature in this issue. We hope you all enjoy the look back in time! With the help of a Pickhurst parent, Catherine Horne, in the next issue we will continue the jubilee theme where Catherine has written a great article about the history of the school. I won’t spoil the article for you but I will say it embodies why Pickhurst School has meant so much to many people over the years. I had the great pleasure of attending the recent tree planting ceremony at the school field and yet again I was left mightily impressed with the behaviour of the pupils as they all played their part in what was another memorable event for Pickhurst Junior Academy. Sixty trees courtesy of the Woodland Trust were planted. Our mission is to create a relaxed, fun salon environment “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees” whilst giving our customers a highly professional modern Amelia Earhart gentlemen’s hair and shave experience.
