A Few Goodbyes
After 23 years, Mrs Collins has sadly decided the time has come to retire. Mrs Collins has been a huge part of our early years team and will be sorely missed. We wish her every success for the future.
We also are sad to say that after 21 years, Mrs Andronicou is also retiring at half term. She is looking forward to her next chapter; spending more time with her family. Mrs Andronicou joined us as a MDS and then joined our office team. We will really miss her and wish her all the best for the future.
After 19 years, Mrs Byrne is also retiring at half term. Mrs Byrne has been our Office Manager for many years. What will we do without her? We wish her all the happiness in the world and hope she enjoys more free time.
I am sure you will join me in wishing them all a wonderful retirement.
Thank you for all you've contributed to the school over the years and everything you each have done for our pupils. We really will miss you all but you will always be part of our family!
Our new office team will be announced shortly.
