Governors

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are about to enter our final half term with Mrs Quick as our Head Teacher. In my role as Chair of Governors I have been speaking and meeting with our new Head Teacher, Mr Clay to ensure that he knows everything that he needs to know about our school. I’m confident that he will be a great asset to the school.

We are aware that a change in Head Teacher can cause some uncertainty, and are keen to reassure you that we are working towards a smooth transition in September. Mr Clay will be visiting us again after half term on Monday 17^th June and will make himself available to speak to parents that morning.

Regards

Sarah Wishart
