Former classmates have made a nostalgic return to the village school they left over 40 years ago.

Several members of Sutton Community Primary School's "Class of 1959" took the trip down memory lane.

The visit followed a hugely successful reunion earlier this year of the old school chums.

Present-day year six pupils helped with proceedings for the Saturday-morning visit - Hannah Compton described a school trip to Bewerley Park, and she and Gemma Lovell accompanied the party around the school and spoke about modern-day life in the classroom. A spectacular computerised review of the school was given by another pupil, Chris Town, who also presented a humorous one-man act about a young schoolboy's dealings with his teacher.

The visiting group thanks the pupils and the adult team - including head Phil Sant, chairman of the governors Ken Hart, staff members Kathleen Jennings and Carolyn Davies, and special needs governor Linda Kitching - for giving up their time for the occasion.

As a token of appreciation, Dr John Laycock - on behalf of the ex pupils - presented the school with a trophy.

The shield will be awarded to children for outstanding achievement.
