Dear Parents,
Today we say “Goodbye” to our Year 6 children. As ever it is an occasion with mixed emotions as we share the children’s memories of joys and happiness during their years in primary education, but look forward to the opportunities and new horizons that lie ahead. We heard many memories in the Church this morning during the Leavers’ Mass and celebrated happy times. We also said goodbye today to Charlie Nicholson
(Butterflies) who is moving to Hertfordshire. As you will also be aware we have five staff members leaving us today – Miss Hagell, Mrs Brewster, Mrs Della-Savina, Mrs
Sidnell and Miss Wilson, along with Mrs Thomas who left us at the start of July. I’m sure you will join me in wishing all our Leavers every happiness and God’s blessing as they move on to pastures new. Congratulations to Miss Hagell and Miss Clark who are getting married over the Summer and will be known as Mrs Aylward and Mrs Adams respectively. Our very best wishes to Miss Hagell and Miss Clark for a long and happy married life with their husbands.
