Dear Parents
I am writing to let you know of a few staff changes. Firstly, Mrs Sarah Clarke has begun her maternity leave a little earlier than first planned. I would like to assure you all that everything is fine, but that full time sports teaching was proving a little much! In her absence we have been very fortunate to enlist the services of Miss Elizabeth Overman, who will be starting on Monday 6th February. She has school experience both as a teaching assistant and sports coach, most recently at St Ives. She also had the opportunity for a handover with Mrs Clarke last week and is the partner of Mr Mullins so will be well briefed on Barrow Hills and what to expect.
Mr Clarke will be taking paternity leave over the coming weeks and, as much as possible, Mr Hatcher will be covering his classes during these times. Although Mr Hatcher is now working for the fire and rescue service he has managed to organise some changes to his shifts to help us out.
I am sure that you will all join me in wishing them all well.
Kind regards
Philip Oldroyd
