Dear Parents,
What a busy week the children had! On Tuesday, the Yr 5 went to Gosford Hill to watch Oliver!, on Wednesday the Yr3/4 had an Egyptian Workshop, on Thursday the children were introduced to the candidates for the post of Headteacher and finally today was Mothers' Day lunch. It really has been a hype of activity everywhere!
Attendance
Our attendance this week is 97.50%. Well done!
Headteacher
The Governors and the teaching staff have an update on the recruitment of a new head teacher. We are delighted to announce that Mr Ross Griffin will be joining as our new head teacher for the new academic year in September 2019. The selection was made after consideration of a number of applicants and a day of interviews yesterday with the local authority and the diocese. Mr Griffin has 15 years of teaching experience with the last 3 years in leadership roles as Head of School at Emerson Valley Junior School. He is also currently studying an MA in education.
The governors will be arranging an evening after Easter for parents to come and talk to the governors and hopefully meet Mr Griffin, the date will be confirmed shortly.
