A 101 year old founding headteacher of a secondary school was back to present his book on World War 2 to their library

Arthur Spencer went back to Priory Community School Academy in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset where he started as their first Headteacher in 1975.

The former World War Two bomber navigator on the famous Lancaster Bombers presented his book ‘An Interesting War’ to their school library. 

He wrote it as a pamphlet around 20 years ago and his elder granddaughter has had several printed as a book.

Five years ago, their £2.5 million state-of-the-art Spencer Science Centre – which is one of Britain’s best science facilities for students was named after him.
