Welcome to Episode 41 of the SVOPA Podcast.
This time is a little different as Jane and Michael bring you the Memorial service held at school by the SVOPA on the 10th of November 2018, for former staff and past pupils
We apologise for the recording quality, however, we hope that you do get a sense of the service at the school.
We are aware that when we read the names out of former staff and past pupils we will not have mentioned everyone. We will continue to add these people to our remembrance book which is in the chapel at school.
