Despite hailstorms, lashing rain and high winds, on Wednesday 6th April, Year 13—accompanied by staff, former students and parents—took part in Martha's Walk in memory of their friend Martha Pugh.
Martha joined us at Howell's in the Nursery aged three, and was proud to be a Howell's girl to the end of her life aged 13. As Martha's year group will be leaving Howell's this summer, this is last time that this event will take place, and we walked through Llandaff Fields and along the Taff as far as Cardiff Castle then returned to the Pavillion, looking a little weather-worn, for a wonderful afternoon tea to mark Martha's 18th birthday.
As Martha's friends leave us later this year, we will still remember her, in the courtyard covered in colourful tiles, in the painting in the Great Hall dedicated to her memory, and in the Martha Bursary Award set up in her name.
