But even though Mrs Boocock left school for the last time on Friday, she still plans on working with local choirs and other musical projects.

She said: “I’m not winding down, I’m just shifting my way of working. I would love to go and work in the community.”

Mrs Boocock said that she would miss “the enthusiasm that you get from the children when you see them achieve”.

Headteacher Linda Whittaker said: “She has been an inspiration.”
