Teaching Staff for September – I am now able to confirm staffing arrangements for September. Mrs Stairmand will be leaving school at the end of term. Mrs Dowling is reducing her hours and Mrs Hough will be leaving her teaching role but will remain as the school’s SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-ordinator). We are extremely grateful for the commitment, energy and hard work that they have all put into St Mary’s school and wish them all the best for the future.
With other adjustments in teachers’ hours, this has given us the opportunity to hire two new full-time teachers. Miss Natalie Pimm will be teaching Year 2 from September and Mrs Daphne Dunham will be teaching in Year 5. We are absolutely delighted with these appointments and both teachers come to the school with great enthusiasm and creativity. We are really looking forward to working with them in the autumn term.
