BEEKEEPING, fellwalking and - hopefully - many more skiing holidays to come are on the horizon for a former headteacher who is retiring from education after 46 years. Alex Wilkinson, 66, has worked primary in schools across north and west Cumbria, as well as support roles, and looks back on his career with great fondness. “I hope that I have made some positive impact on those who I have taught and who I have worked alongside. It has been a privilege to have had this remarkable opportunity,” he said. “I hope I have managed to provide lots of fun and inspirational learning opportunities for children and taught them that Cumbria and the outside world is a wonderful and very special place.
