Poignant visit for husband of teacher

THE husband of a muchloved teacher has visited a playground dedicated in her honour.
Former policeman David "Dai" Davies, whose wife Kay was a nursery teacher at Malton Community Primary School for the last 16 years of her career, toured the Foundation Stage playground during a brief Christmas holiday with his daughters.

In retirement Mrs Davies pursued her lifelong dream and moved to live in Cambodia alongside her husband, helping set up a nursery at the Hope International School. She passed away last year, with Mr Davies deciding to remain in the South-East Asian country and carry on her good work.

Governors at Malton CP School decided to dedicate the playground, which was opened in September, in her memory and for all the children she taught throughout her career. Headteacher Paul Scrimshaw said: "Kay was such a wonderful person and has been sadly missed by many parents and children. "We wanted to remember her for all the wonderful years she gave to children at Malton Community Primary School."
