A HEADTEACHER bade a fond farewell to his school after 14 years and two terms at the helm.

Chris Vincent, pictured, hung up his gown at Charmouth Primary School to leave to spread his passion for technology in education.

He will become an Apple education mentor and will demonstrate how technology can be used in the classroom in schools around the region.

Mr Vincent, 57, who lives in Devon, said he has really enjoyed his time at the school.

Mr Vincent began his teaching career in Woking and moved to Devon where he worked in two schools before starting at Charmouth.

Taking over from Mr Vincent is Gillian Morris, who used to be deputy headteacher at Charmouth.

She is coming to the school from Tipton St John and will take up the post in September.
