Gilbert Collins waves goodbye to St Gilbert's Primary School in Stamford as he moves up to Casterton Community College

It’s the time of year when hundreds of children across the area say goodbye to their old schools and prepare to start new ones.

And for Gilbert Collins, it’s an even sadder farewell because he’s been the only ‘Gilbert’ attending St Gilbert’s School in Stamford for the past seven years.

Now, aged 11, he’s leaving to start secondary school at Casterton Community College.

A keen writer who loves music and acting, Gilbert has thoroughly enjoyed his time at St Gilbert’s, and is leaving with fond memories.
