For Information

It is with great sadness that we have been advised that Derek Heasman OBE died on 25 January 2007, following a fall that caused serious injuries.

Many of you will have known and worked with Derek, who retired three years ago following 23 years service at Dollis Junior School. Should you wish to send your condolences to Derek's wife, Patricia Heasman, and family, please send them via the school.

The funeral will take place on Friday 2 February 2007, at noon, at

Kensit Evangelical Church
104 Hendon Lane (corner of Wickliffe Avenue/Hendon Lane)
Finchley

The family have asked that rather than give floral tributes, donations should be made to The Prince's Trust. Please make your cheque payable to The Prince's Trust, and send it to the school who will link with Derek's family to pass them on.
