Dear Parent/Guardian,
With the end of term fast approaching here are a few pieces of news and some reminders for you;
Saying Goodbye to Mr. Garcia - Una despedida (A fond farewell)
Mr. Garcia is sadly leaving us on the 17th June. Mr. Garcia has worked at the school for the last six years as caretaker and classroom assistant. He will be sorely missed by both the staff and the pupils at the school. Our best wishes go with him as he embarks on a new career as a Counsellor at the National Autistic Society. Hasta Luego!
