Tributes have been paid to a respected and much-loved former head teacher remembered fondly by his pupils for his gentleness and care.
Reg Dixon, who has died at the age of 86, was at the heart of village life, head of Trimley St Mary Primary School for nearly 20 years and oversaw its growth from small village school to large primary as the community grew with nearly 1,000 new homes.
His teaching was accomplished and inspiring to thousands.
One former parent said: He was a charismatic headmaster of Trimley St Mary school and guided hundreds of young people, including our four children, along their early educational pathway, with good humour and genuine care for each child. He will be sadly missed.
