Clayton expressed feeling ‘famous’ for this honour, noting he wanted to draw the viaduct, a familiar sight in his town. Inside the card, Cllr Roberts praised Clayton’s talent and acknowledged the exceptional support provided by Castle Hill for students with special educational needs. He emphasized Stockport’s commitment to investing in schools and ensuring high-quality education for all children, including those with complex needs.
