Important News Regarding the Head Teacher

I must start this newsletter with some news from my private life that will mean big changes for myself and the school. My girlfriend is Danish, and over Christmas we have decided to get married! After much deliberation we have decided due to family commitments that it is best for us to be based in Denmark rather than England. Therefore I have tendered my resignation to the governors, and I will be leaving the school this summer.

I have really enjoyed my time at the school and the support I have had from all in the school community. There are many exciting projects in the pipeline, and I am very pleased that I will be here to see the opening of the new After School and Playgroup building after the Easter holidays, and the introduction of cooked meals, which we now expect to begin at the same time.

The governors will be advertising for a new head teacher at the end of this half term, and interviews will take place in early April. I will be able to work with the new head teacher during the summer term to ensure a smooth handover. I am sure that Milverton School, with its excellent reputation, will attract a high level of candidates, ready to lead the school on the next phase in its development.
