BABY BOOMS & SECONDMENTS!

YEAR 5

Firstly congratulations to Mrs Rolfe. Her baby is due in January therefore she will begin her maternity leave in Term 3.

YEAR 2

Secondly congratulations to Miss Carroll who is expecting twins!! She will (hopefully!) remain with her class until Christmas before beginning her maternity leave.

Thirdly congratulations to Mrs Noall. During the summer she successfully applied for a post as a Numeracy consultant with Bristol LA. Mrs Noall has asked to take a secondment to do this so she will not be returning to school until next September. Mrs Pragnell will continue to cover her maternity leave until Christmas.

In order to cover the vacancies in Year two we will employ one full time teacher to take the class for the remainder of the year.

YEAR 5/6

Mrs Noall’s maternity leave has been covered by Miss Wiltshire. With the end of Mrs Noall’s maternity leave we will need to employ a teacher on a permanent basis for this class.

All of the above vacancies will be advertised in Mid October and we hope to employ our three new teachers in early December.
