As Mrs Hayes’ maternity leave approaches, it is time to think about staffing in 6 Beech. For sake of continuity and standards, we would prefer not to recruit externally, though this may ultimately be our only option. For now, we are looking into ways in which we could cover in 6 Beech with Parkdale staff – who know (and are known by) the children and who know our procedures and expectations. We’ll update as soon as possible.

For parents, carers and children in other years – rest assured that we won’t be pulling your current teacher to redeploy them in year SIx!
