Stanmore Post - 31 March 2021

Dear Parents, 

We have had a really enjoyable end of term. The children have been celebrating with an ice-cream, generously donated by Tony’s Ices as a goodwill gesture. Thank you! It was really appreciated. This was arranged by the FOS and I am sure that you agree it was well deserved by the children.  

At Stanmore we frequently talk about the Keys for Success: Resilience persistence, organisation, confidence, co-operation, respect. This has been an exceptional term during which we have seen all of these keys used so well by the entire community. Thank you again for all of the support that you have shown towards the school. The children have recovered their stamina and are back into their routines. Looking ahead to the Summer Term, it will be good to be able re-start from the settled position we are in now.  

We will be saying goodbye to Mrs Rachel Sanderson, our Senior Admin Officer. Mrs Sanderson has made a significant contribution to school improvement and we wish her well for the future. Mrs Sanderson will be leaving the school at the end of this term. Many parents will also remember Miss Norris, who worked at Stanmore for many years. Miss Norris has been working at Riders Infants on secondment for the past year and has now been successfully appointed as the Head of School and will not be returning to Stanmore. I would like to thank both members of staff for everything that they have done for the children and families at Stanmore Primary.   

After Easter we welcome Mrs Emma Holland as our new Admin Officer, working alongside Mrs Eagle in the school office.  

I hope that you are able to enjoy a relaxing and happy Easter.

Best Wishes

Sharon Taylor
