A busy, sunny fortnight!

We've been incredibly busy over the last couple of weeks as planning for the new school has gathered pace and are now racing ahead.

Last week we appointed our first teacher - an experienced teacher to lead the Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception and Nursery classes).  She will also be a class teacher in Reception.  This week we appointed our second teacher, for our second Reception class.  We'll be able to tell you all about them shortly, just as soon as their current schools have had time to announce their departures.  What we can say at this stage is that we are really excited to have appointed two amazing teachers who are both fully committed to child centred learning in the foundation years.  They will be an amazing team!

This week Hayley Jackson, our School Business Manager, started full time as part of the school's leadership team.  She is busy making sure that all our finances are in order, planning the recruitment of some of our support staff, getting our hot meals service ready, and planning the purchase and installation of furniture - amongst many other things!  Welcome to the team Hayley!

We hope that you have all been enjoying the sunshine!  We have certainly been pleased to see the school build coming together very quickly in the good weather.  It has also been a good chance to get a feel for the school in the warm weather - our modern, eco-friendly, natural air ventilation system will keep us all cool on the hottest of days.  We'll be the coolest school around!
