Pupils take time to remember former school teachers
Children and staff at Nene Park Academy took part in the 10 mile stroll on Friday to remember former principal Martin Bacon, and Cat Black, a former English teacher at the Academy.
The walk was raising money for Sue Ryder’s Thorpe Hall Hospice, where both Martin and Cat were cared for during their fight against cancer.

It is hoped this year’s total will help the school pass the £15,000 mark.
Principal, Steve Howard said: “It has been a pleasure to host the sponsored walk for the third consecutive year.
“It has continued to be a hugely successful event and it is a great way to get the whole school involved in a cause close to so many in our community.”
