Changes affecting classes 6RD & 3JDo

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have found it necessary to make some short term changes to 6RD & 3JDo.

Mrs Douglas (6RD) is currently absent from work and as of yet we are unable to predict at what point she will return this year. We are sure that you will join us in wishing her a speedy return. To move forward in the strongest position, Mr Douglas will lead class 6RD in the short term, as he knows the class well having already taught a large majority of them. Our own Miss Reid will step in as the lead teacher of 3JDo.

We sincerely hope that these changes are short term and we will continue to monitor and review them on a regular basis. We are in the fortunate position to be able to use our own staff and not look to outside agencies for staffing solutions.

We will continue to keep you updated of any changes and are happy to answer any questions or queries you may have in the meantime.

Thank you for your support

Mrs G Cunningham

Head Teacher
