A SCHOOL tradition which goes back more than 40 years is being repeated this week as parents and former parents at Old Bexley CofE Primary School in Hurst Road, Bexley Village, stage their annual pantomime.

Although no staff are taking part this year the panto, Dick Whittington, will run for eight performances until Saturday (February 20), all staged in the school hall.

The cast is also responsible for all the costumes and scenery and for helping to rewrite many of the featured songs.

All the proceeds from the panto will go to the school.

To find out more, call the school on 01322 527981.
