Stanmore Post - 7 May 2020
Dear Parents,
I hope that you are all well and looking forward to the bank holiday weekend. Although it will be different to the one we might have planned, I hope that it will be a sunny one and a chance to reflect on our place in history now as much as on May 8th 75 years ago. You can see how the school celebrated on that day in the history section of our website.
In school, children have been learning about VE day and children in our ‘virtual’ school will have also picked up on the themes through home school learning. We have appreciated your continued efforts to complete work and send examples in to us.
Over the weekend, we are all expecting to hear news from the Government about the next steps out of ‘Lockdown.’ Our priority as a school, is to be as ready as we can to respond to whatever measures are put in place. Once we fully understand the timescales of any changes that are announced, we will communicate what this means for our school as soon as we are able.
I have some staff news to share. Miss Hurley and her partner are expecting a baby later this summer. We send them our congratulations and very best wishes. We are delighted that we have been able to appoint a new class teacher, Mrs Karen Joyce, who will start with us at the beginning of July in Year 3 / 4. Sadly, we wave goodbye to Miss Lucy Shuff. Miss Shuff will be missed by children, staff and parents. Her contribution to the improvements at Stanmore have been greatly appreciated, most recently as part of the Ready to Learn team. We have been successful in appointing Mrs Julie Mitton, an experienced teaching assistant. We are all looking forward to welcoming our two newest members of staff to our Stanmore Community.
If we can help your child to access work in some way, please get in touch by sending an email to stanmoresupport@stanmoreprimary.com
We can provide printed versions of the work online. Please contact the school office to arrange collection.
