Old Princethorpians

Huge congratulations to Charlie Lovett (Class of 2017) who married his sweetheart Bethany Mallett on Saturday 11 October at Saint Martin's Church in Welton.

Commenting on the day proud mum and former Princethorpe SEND teacher, Meryl, said, "It was a testament to their extraordinary powers of organisation that the whole day went swimmingly. It was a small and intimate wedding, very them.

Meryl very much enjoyed the day and meeting up with the OPs who attended the wedding.

We wish Charlie and Bethany the happiest of futures together!

Many congratulations to Lizzie Hester (Class of 2012) and her new fiance, Seb Benson on their recent engagement.

Lizzie picks up the story:

Seb and I met seven years ago through a mutual friend in London and have been together for the last five years.

Seb is an architect and is currently working for the Paris Olympics 2024. I have been teaching for the past five years; after some time teaching in London, I am back in the Midlands and currently covering a maternity position at Princethorpe.

We plan to get married in 2025 and it would be wonderful to have the wedding at Princethorpe!

Congratulations to Helen McAleese (Class of 2008) and her fiance, Steve, on the safe arrival of their first child, a daughter.

Helen recounts the event:

Our beautiful daughter Emily made quite a speedy, dramatic arrival into the world on 5 October 2023, weighing a healthy 7lbs 4oz.

We are incredibly grateful to the Sapphire midwives and all the staff at Worcester Royal Hospital for looking after us so well. Emily is now nearly 4 months and is thriving, developing a very sassy little personality already! We are completely in love.

Her dad Steve and I must now get on with some wedding planning after also getting engaged in 2023 - it was a very busy year!

Vicky (nee Smith) and Tom Ellis (both Class of 2009) are delighted to announce the arrival of their second daughter, Ophelia Ellis on 11 October 2023 at 00:17. A lovely sister for Sadie.

Many congratulations to the whole family!!
