MISS MOWBRAY WELCOMES TWINS
Huge congratulations to Miss Mowbray, her partner Nicky and big brother Rory on the birth of their beautiful twins. She brought them in to show us on Inset Day and, as you can see, we were all keen to meet the adorable twosome! Born just after Christmas, Otis Andrei weighed in at 5lb 4oz, while his sister, Sadie Robin, tipped the scales at 6lbs. The gorgeous new family members are settling in well and Miss Mowbray reports that three year-old Rory is taking his big brother duties very seriously. We will bring more pictures as the duo grow.
WELCOME BACK MRS TOMLINSON
This week we were delighted to welcome our lovely Mrs Tomlinson back from maternity leave. She's had a great time with her darling, eleven month old daughter Ava and is enjoying being back with Rashford class. Great to have you back Mrs T! We have missed you.
WELCOME TO ST STEPHEN'S
We are very pleased to welcome Adam Green (pictured left with Year Three) and George Abbott (right) to our St Stephen's team. Adam joins Mr Cain as a Sports Coach, while George will be working as a Teaching and Learning Assistant in Year Three. Adam also works as a football coach at Brentford Football Club and plays semi professional football for the Metropolitan Police Team. Keen actor George also works at the Mary Wallace Theatre. Welcome to the team!
THANK YOU TO OUR PARENT HELPERS
We never ever take the support of our fabulous parent community for granted. Whether it is the amazingly hardworking FOSS team, the parents who accompany our trips or those who support FOSS' fundraisers, you are all magnificent and make such a difference. Our in-school team of parent helpers provide invaluable assistance to our staff, helping out with one-to-one reading and other maths and literacy work. Thank you to these unsung heroes.
