Dear Parents/Carers,

This is a reminder that there are no after school clubs running during the last week of term, 15th- 19th July. As it is the school fayre on Friday 12th July, there are no interventions or Friday club on this day

Please find some of the key staffing arrangements at Birchfield for September. I would like to start by offering my warmest of congratulations to Mrs Hazeldine who will be the new Head of school from September.

Mr Aldred, Miss Simpson, Mrs Ahmed and Miss Fox will all be staying in role. Mrs Saboor will be here in September but taking Maternity leave from the end of that month. We say congratulations to Mrs Sperrin and Mr Mazhar who will be joining the school as Associate Assistant Headteachers. They will be a valued addition to the leadership team.

The end of the academic year will mean that we say goodbye to some of our teachers. Miss Rose (R), Miss Rock (Yr1), Miss Ilyas (Yr1), Miss Bakalou (Yr2), Miss Rose (Yr3) and Miss Begum (Yr5) and Mrs Ali have all been valued members of staff and we say a special thank you to all of them for their hard work and contributions to Birchfield.

We have new teachers joining us and I have included the class teacher arrangements for September in the table below. The teachers are looking forward to working with their new classes on our ‘Moving Up Day’ on 3rd July. I am sure that you and your child are excited about getting to know their teacher for next year and their new adventures in the academic year ahead.

Finally, as I approach the end of my time as Headteacher at Birchfield, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and best wishes to you all. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to serve Birchfield and I will be very sad to leave. I know that the school will continue to thrive and flourish and I look forward to hearing all about all of the future successes. I am sure there will be a great many.
