Heartfelt thank you messages from The Angmering School

Head teacher Simon Liley said: “As we are currently an online school community, it is important to keep our sense of collective purpose.

“Our students are very community focused and want to support other local people, and in these times of stress we hope to bring some light to other people’s days, especially our key workers to whom we are extremely grateful.”
