"Move along, move along", was the cry as pupils at a Walsall school said farewell to their deputy headteacher by holding a tea party with a Mad Hatter theme.

Mother-of- two Isobel Burton found a "a delightful surprise" as each year group bubble of pupils at Chuckery Primary School presented a performance of poetry, dance or drama in the grounds.
Isobel, aged 63, from Aldridge, worked at the school from 1985 to 2006 as a teacher and then left to take a post as an assistant headteacher at Pheasey Park Farm Primary School in Birmingham.
However, the pull of Chuckery proved so great that she returned as deputy headteacher in 2012.
During her teaching career she has taught pupils, who have gone on to become parents and even grandparents.
