Former pupils of all ages are being invited to celebrate a primary school's 70th anniversary celebrations later this year. 

Heath Primary School in Kesgrave was due to hold a birthday party earlier this summer to mark its platinum jubilee, but it was postponed due to bad weather. 

The school, in Bell Lane in the town near Ipswich, has rearranged the celebration for Friday, September 13, with anyone previously connected with the school invited to attend to help mark the occasion.

Various celebrations have been taking place over the summer term of the most recent academic year, including family picnics for each year group. 

Before they broke up for the year, pupils gathered on the school field and formed a huge '70' for a remarkable drone photograph.

"It was brilliant timing because the weather has been awful, but then it turned out really lovely," said Sally Neal, who works at the school.

"We were supposed to have a jubilee birthday party in June, but it was called off due to the weather."

The celebration, which will take place between 3.30pm and 6pm, will involve a bouncy castle, barbecue and disco. 

Mrs Neal added there has always been a "community feel" at the school.

She said: "We've got lots of staff here who have been here for a long time. People tend to work here and stay because it is a lovely school. 

"We've got people who have been here for 20 years and they've seen the progression."

"There is a real community feel and I'm really excited we have made it this far."
