FLAGS were flying to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a school for Bromsgrove pupils with special needs.

Chadsgrove School, in Catshill, raised a new flag with the school logo to mark the occasion and celebrated with a disco and a reunion.

Pupils at the Meadow Road school were also entertained by clown and stilt-walker Mr Doo.

The new sensory maze, a wheelchair-friendly facility filled with aromatic shrubs and flowers for partially-sighted children, was officially opened and will be in full bloom this summer.

Deputy headteacher Malcolm Main said: "The celebrations went extremely well -- even the weather was kind to us."
