Jane said: “We took a tear jerking trip down memory lane looking at pictures from over the years she has been with us.
“Mrs Johnson has been a part of many children’s lives over the years and is going to leave a lasting memory here and we wish her the happiest of retirements.
“The school won’t be the same without you.”Speaking of Miss Elliot, Jane added: “We sent her off in true FEJS style with the children singing, gifts and a fun aeroplane quiz after Miss Elliott let slip her love for planes.
“We wish Miss Elliott the best of luck in Dubai, we will miss you greatly.”
