Dear Parent/Carer Mrs. Hilary Ford On Wednesday, 23rd January, 2019 we welcomed into school HM LordLieutenant of South Yorkshire, Andrew J. Coombe to award The British Empire Medal. The Medal was awarded to Hilary Ford, a very special lady who had supported and encouraged many children to read at Herringthorpe Junior School. The British Empire Medal is a British medal awarded for meritorious civil or military service worthy of recognition by the Crown. This was an excellent experience for the children who also were given the opportunity to ask the LordLieutenant some questions. Attendance Children should not be kept off school unnecessarily. If your child is a little ‘under the weather’ you do not need to keep them off school. Often we find that as soon as they get into school and are busy in their day they perk up and are fine.
