Bishop unveils academy plaque
Schoolchildren welcomed a special religious visitor.
The Bishop of Bedford, the Right Reverend Richard Atkinson, spent Monday morning at All Saints Academy in Clifton.
Headteacher Carol Ward said: “He spent some time with myself and the chair of governors and then he took a whole school assembly.

After a coffee break with the staff the bishop joined the whole school outside and unveiled a plaque marking the school’s conversion to academy status last October. The design uses the children’s handprints. Former heads Denise Gower and Maureen Gravell also attended the ceremony.
