MORE STAFF NEWS
We are very sad to let parents
and children know that Mr Vaughan and Mrs Dwyer will be leaving our school at
the end of the this term. Mr Vaughan
will be moving to a teaching post at Elm Tree Primary School in Lowestoft, and
Mrs Dwyer will be taking up a teaching position with Ilketshall St Lawrence. Although we’re sorry to have to say goodbye
to these two wonderful teachers, we know they will both have great success in
their new schools, as will Mrs Spencer, Miss Ashberry and Mrs Seaward who have
all been longstanding in our school and are taking steps to further their
careers by choosing to teach in other schools. We wish them all every success.
I understand that families
will be anxious at hearing this news, but I would like to reassure parents that
we are doing all we can to actively recruit for the vacancies. We are pleased to share that Mrs Cockle, who
has been working with some of your children this year will stay on as a newly
qualified class teacher in KS2, alongside Miss Bullock, an NQT in KS1. Mrs Lord has agreed to become a full time
teacher for at least the first term. All
the staff will ensure a smooth transition for all our pupils into the new
academic year.
Thank you, Mrs H Picton
