Mrs Turner in Year 3/4 has taken some time off and will not be returning to school for this academic year.  Miss Cousen, who is an excellent and experienced teacher, will take over in Year 3/4 Fir Class until the end of the school year.  Covering Miss Cousen in Year 1/2 Apple Blossom Class will be our wonderful Miss Heppolette, who is a fully qualified Early Career Teacher, and has been working with the children in this class all year.  She has slotted into this role extremely well. Miss White will continue to be the teaching assistant in Fir Class and Mrs Pickup will be the teaching assistant in Apple Blossom Class. Whilst we recognise that any disruption to learning is not ideal, we are more than confident that all of the children affected will continue to receive a high quality education.
