Prince Edward to open £1.3 million humanities centre at Newport school
The new £1.3 million humanities centre at Shropshire's Adams' Grammar School will be officially opened tomorrow by the Earl of Wessex.
Prince Edward will unveil a commemorative plaque after a tour of the school in Newport, meeting many staff, pupils, sponsors and local dignitaries.
As well as a chance to see much of the work going on at the school, there will be a demonstration of Taiko drumming by pupils – partly as a tribute to Prince Edward's recent visit to Korea and his own suggestion to Haberdasher Schools that such a group might be set up.
Guests will include Audley Twiston-Davies, Master of the Haberdashers, and Lord Lieutenant Sir Algernon Heber-Percy and his wife Lady Jane Heber-Percy.
The welcome party will also include Michael Barratt, a former headmaster responsible for the fundraising for the new block.
