Staffing for Next Year and SEND transitions

Dear Parents,

I am writing today to share information regarding staffing for next year. 

First of all, I am pleased to announce that following an internal recruitment process, carried out in conjunction with governors and JTMAT, I have recruited 2 Assistant Headteachers. Mr Chris Gibbs and Mrs Louise Ridley will take up their roles from September. I am confident that these appointments will really strengthen the leadership of our school.

I am also pleased to share some of the staffing for next year. Although there are still some unknowns, it may be helpful to begin talking to your children about their new teacher.

Nursery: Mrs Knight

Reception: Mrs Akers

Year 1: Mrs Palmer

Year 2: Mr Minor

Year 3: Mrs Ridley

Year 4: Mrs Lewis

Year 5: Mr Tyson

Year 6: Mr Gibbs

As you can see, there is very little change! Unfortunately, I am not able to share where support staff will be working, but I will share that as soon as possible.

Next week, transition activities will begin for children we feel will benefit from extra support in their transition. If this applies to your child, their current teacher will speak to you before the end of the week about what this involves. If you are worried about any aspects of moving up, please speak to us and we will see what we can do to support with the process.

As always, if you have any queries about the above, please catch me on the gate or telephone the office for an appointment.

Best wishes,

Miss E Wilson

Headteacher
