End of term letter (July 2008) and dates for the year ahead

Dear parents and carers

Staffing update

Hayley Just to remind you that Wednesday 23rd July is not only the last day of school term, but also Hayley’s last day with us. Hayley came as a temporary teacher when Sanchia left at the end of December. She has done a fantastic job here at Kate Greenaway, and we would like to wish her well in her new post as a Reception Teacher. Our new assistant head, Michele, starts in September.

Erin, our temporary nursery education worker with the Community Service Team, is also finishing at the end of this term.

Liz I am pleased to tell you that Liz has been appointed as our additional Family Support and Outreach Worker. She will start this in September, and will continue to work full time at Kate Greenaway in her new role. I will let you know who is replacing Liz in the nursery team as soon as possible.

Jan I’m sure you’ll join me in congratulating Jan on achieving the new National Professional Qualification in Integrated Centre Leadership.

Kate Greenaway Summer Scheme

This year we are putting on a summer scheme for all children up to five years old living in the neighbourhood. We also have an advance notice flyer for our Community Services next term. You are very welcome to use any of our Community Services.


Yours sincerely




Julian Grenier
