Tom “My class photo at Claremont Primary, Nottingham, which I attended from the late 70s to mid 80s. Multicultural, bold, imaginative, open-minded, diverse in so many ways, with so many committed and inspiring teachers and a brilliant Headteacher. Just an “ordinary” school in a fairly troubled part of a city that I feel extremely lucky to have gone to.”
