Singlegate Primary School
THANK YOU and farewell
Dear Families,
I would like to take this opportunity
to say a very big thank you and a
very sad farewell to Mrs Schneider
who has been teaching at Singlegate
Primary School for 5 years. Mrs
Schneider will be very much missed
by us all and we wish her all the
very best as she leaves us to welcome future excitements and possibilities.
We will also be saying thank you
and farewell to Miss Edwards after 2
years at Singlegate Primary School.
Miss Edwards has a very busy summer and wedding day eagerly awaiting her as she prepares to settle in
Portsmouth with her future husband.
We have also had to say a warm
farewell and thank you to Miss
McCarthy after 8 years at Singlegate
Primary School. Miss McCarthy has
left us to support children with Special Educational Needs at Cricket
Green School.
We will of course be preparing to
say goodbye to these staff with the
children and I am sure that you all
will join me to wish them both lots
of luck in their new adventures.
A warm welcome
I would like to say a very warm Singlegate welcome to Mrs Ladd who
will be joining our office team today.
Mrs Ladd will primarily be managing
and developing our admissions procedures and supporting the administrative work of the school. Welcome
Mrs Ladd and we wish you all the
very best in your new role.
The winning coloured team in each
school is the Green Team who at
Singlegate Primary School earned
themselves 3577 points. The
scores of the other coloured teams
are as follows:
Blue: 3501
Red: 3480
Yellow: 3167
Following this appointment, my new
leadership structure will look as follows:
Mrs Bull—Executive Headteacher
Mrs Hart—Associate Headteacher
Miss Davey—Deputy Headteacher
Mrs Pitt— Assistant Headteacher
(Foundation Stage)
Miss Silvester— Assistant
Headteacher (Key Stage 2)
Miss Bloxsom— Key Stage 1 Leader
I am really looking forward to working with this new dynamic team as
we prepare our school for the ongoing changes the expansion will bring
and the opportunities this will offer.
