Dear Parents
Staffing
I regret to inform you that Mr Kelaiditis has to take time off from teaching as his knee injury is causing on-going problems. His position will be taken by Miss Katharine Smyth, an experienced teacher, who will start in school on Monday 9th March.
We wish Mr Kelaiditis well in his rehabilitation.
