A group of long-serving Wisbech academy staff celebrated their landmark tenure at a special event.
Staff at the Thomas Clarkson Academy, who jointly have more than 500 years of experience, were hosted by Dr Andrew Campbell, chief executive of the Brooke Weston Trust, to which the academy belongs.
All of them have worked at the academy for a decade or more, six even reaching twenty years or more.
Each received a commemorative certificate, becoming official members of the ‘10 Years Plus Club 2024’ complete with pin badges.

The longest-serving staff member recognised was Miss Fisher, boasting a 36-year tenure.
A total of 562 years combined service was commemorated in this celebration.
Dr Campbell, who himself was recognised for his 28 years of service at the Trust’s Brooke Weston Academy in Northamptonshire, praised this significant achievement.
Dr Campbell said: “It’s phenomenal that so many people in this organisation have given so much of their lives to it.
"You really are at the forefront of what education is meant to be about."
