St Peter’s C.E. Academy

STAFFING CHANGES

The end of the year is a time to express our thanks to our hardworking staff and bid a fond farewell to those members of staff who are leaving us. I would also like to welcome some new staff to our school family.

We are sad to say goodbye to Year 5 teacher Mr Nardone, who is moving to Scotland and seeking new and exciting challenges. Mr Nardone has been instrumental in providing performing art opportunities to all of our children and I have had the privilege to watch some of his shows. I know that his class and all of the pupils he has worked with will miss his vitality, humour and kindness.

Mr Ashley will also be leaving St Peter’s after securing a teaching post at a school closer to home in Bedfordshire. In the time he has been with us, Mr Ashley has demonstrated a passion for teaching, care and compassion for all those he taught and a desire to support the school with our sporting accomplishments.

After her short time with us, Mrs Murray will be moving on to work with our other Trust schools. Her love of science and mathematics has enthused the pupils and staff. Her passion for sport has allowed the pupils to share in her expertise, especially netball club.

Miss Becket, our student teacher, has secured a teaching post in Milton Keynes and we wish her the very best. She has had a highly successful year at St Peter’s and we are thankful for all of her creativity and passion she has brought to lessons and the school.

We have recruited some excellent staff this term to fill the two class teacher roles. Miss Brough and Mrs Luker will be joining us in September so we will be fully staffed and raring to go. We were impressed with their interviews and teaching tasks and know they will make a significant contribution to the school in the coming years.

Mr Cowling will be changing his role in September from support staff and lunchtime supervisor, as he has successfully gained a position with a teaching school. We are very fortunate that he will be embarking on his training year with us. Mrs Levin is going to replace Mr Cowling in his lunchtime supervisor role, she is really looking forward to getting to know all of the school community.

And finally, welcome back to Miss Drew who will be returning from maternity leave at the end of this term.
