VETERAN SCHOOL GOVERNOR RETIRES

The pair are pictured outside the Riverside School, to which both have given outstanding service.
The county’ s longest serving school governor, Des Brooke is retiring after 26 years as a governor at Riverside School, Hunderton. He stood down as chairman two years ago after 15 years in the role, including the period when the old Hunderton Primary and Juniors schools were demolished, and the combined new school given a new name.
Des, 80 said the long years he had devoted to the school had been:‘ a joy and a privilege’ and he was proud of what the school had achieved in the 10 years since its transformation. Pupil numbers had risen from 350 to well over 500.
Educated at Hereford Cathedral School, he went on to have a successful career as a quantity surveyor, becoming a partner in a city practice. Des is also a former president of Lions Club as were the late David Mathias, a former head teacher and the late John Weatherall who was vice-chairman of governors.
Also due to retire in August next year is Jim Preston, head teacher at Riverside School since 2007. He was one of the last students to be trained at the old Hereford Teacher Training College, now the College for the Blind.
