Dear Parents/ Carers,

This can be a stressful time of year for children who might be worrying about who their teacher will be next year. We are hoping that most classes will be able to spend some time with their new teacher this week, although classes that are isolating will have to wait a while.

Please note that the list below does NOT have all the staff on it: just the staff that are teaching a class.

Here is a list of the classes and who their new teachers will be:

We are sadly losing some of our staff this year, who are moving on to bigger and better things. We wish them the very best of luck in their new ventures, and thank them for their years of support and hard work.

Miss Kirk is leaving St John’s to pursue her passion- teaching in a SEND school - and Mrs Zakers is retiring and looking forward to spending more time with her family. Mrs Andrews, our Data Manager, is retiring to Northumberland.

Best wishes,

Mrs Seymour

Headteacher
