Headmaster Peter Phillips said: "Continuity and the huge value of families are very important here. Grandparents are often very supportive, as with Mrs Blair, and Grandparents' Day is a way that the school can say thank you to them."

Mrs Blair, whose three children also attended Cundall Manor and who served for more than ten years as a school governor, said: "I have so many happy memories of Cundall – it is a very special place."
