Kinson Promotes Success

6 Jun 2008 - Newsletter 17

Hi Everyone,

Just six weeks remain of this busy school year. I wanted to update you with our staffing news and upcoming dates.

Following interviews the week before half-term, we are really pleased with our new teacher appointments:

Miss Nicola McCrum
Mrs Kerry Aryal
Miss Jennifer Thompson
Mrs Mandie Tarrant

They will all start here in September and we would like to welcome them to our lovely, hard-working staff team. Any other staff appointments will be notified in due course.

Hopefully, I shall send home the information about your children’s new classes on Friday 27^th June and the reports will come out one week later on 4^th July. This is incidentally Infant Sports morning, i.e. Red/Blue/Yellow/Green/Orange and Purple classes.

Anyone who wishes to have a parent consultation to discuss their child’s report/progress further can do so in the following weeks. You will be informed who is available and at what times.

Have a lovely weekend,

Best wishes,

Liz Thomasson
