Sophies School used to be called Ethel Tipple School, and it amalgamated with Aldermann Jackson School and they had a new school built on the Ethel Tipple Site and renamed Churchill Park School, and yesterday the Countess of Wessex Sophie, Prince Edwards Wife came to open the new school.
Sophie met the Countess of Wessex, who said what a nice name she had, just like hers.
Sophie must have been thrilled, she is much into Princess's, to have met a real one with the same name must have delighted her.
