Welcome to Miss Rachael Wagstaff who will be working in the school office whilst Miss Victoria Lucas takes her maternity leave from September. Miss Wagstaff is in school this week for some training.
Mrs Greenhough apologises: I left some really important members of staff off the list last week; Ms Kerry Wilson (Parsons) will support children in Y6 and will co-ordinate our Nurture Group in the afternoons next year. Mrs Anne Clark will support in the EYU but will also lead our Forest Schools work. Mrs Mandy Nussey will support pupils in the EYU and will lead our Teacher Talking Programme. These are all vital programmes which will operate while ever we have sufficient funding and the expertise of these key members of staff.
A reminder to parents/carers please ensure that your child has a sun hat and sun cream with them in school as it is very warm.
