A head of governors has stepped down after 23 years of service.

Littletown Primary Academy in Honiton bid farewell to the long-serving chair of governors, Tina Sillitoe, during a special assembly.

The school expressed its gratitude for her dedication on October 14.

Mrs Sillitoe decided to step down following an excellent Ofsted inspection in June 2024.

During her time, approximately 9,200 children passed through the school's doors.

Principal Mr Perkins highlighted the significance of Mrs Sillitoe's community service.
