The Walford Nursery and Primary School community were deeply saddened to hear the very sad news about Liz Boynton. Liz served as a Governor of the school for over 30 years. In 2017, the Governors named its new building ‘The Boynton Lodge’ in honour of Liz’s exceptional contribution and the school was delighted that Lord and Lady Lisvane officially opened the facility – a memorable day for all.

In a joint statement to the Ross Gazette this week, the Headteacher, Louise George, and the Chair of Governors, Mr Deneen, said: “Liz will be very sadly missed by all of the Walford School community, past and present. It was a huge privilege to have known her and worked alongside her – Liz’s contribution and support had been simply outstanding and incredibly valuable.

"We send our sincere condolences and sympathy to Martin and to Anna, Rachael, James and their families."

The funeral of Lizzie Boynton will take place at St Michael and All Angels Church, Walford on Friday, January 17th at 11am.
