Oakfield Academy welcomed a former pupil this week who was visiting from Australia, Mr John Cresswell and his wife Margaret.
The academy reports, “Mr Cresswell, who is now in his 80s, was evacuated to Frome as a child during World War II.
“New prefects, Thomas Roughley and Amelie Thomas, were delighted to give them a tour of the site.
“Mr Cresswell was thrilled when he was presented with a photocopy of a register from the time he was at Oakfield, which showed his name.”
