Since the start of term, I have worked with leaders in school and across the trust on the various stages of the recruitment process. On Monday the shortlisted candidates were interviewed at Woodlands Park.  I am delighted to let you know that Mrs Hunter will be our Deputy Headteacher from January 2019.  Throughout the process, Mrs Hunter demonstrated that she is ready to make the transition from her current role as Year 3/4 team leader, Foxes’ class teacher and maths leader.  In January, Mrs Hunter will be teaching for approximately half of the week, leaving the rest of the week for her to fulfil her existing and new leadership responsibilities.  At this stage, we have yet to finalise her teaching role from January but will inform parents with children in Foxes class as soon as this has been decided. Steve Bone, Headteacher.
