Dear Parent,

RETIREMENT OF TIM BUCKLEY

I write to let you know that Tim Buckley has advised Governors that he intends to retire as Headteacher of the School at the end of the Summer Term 2011, ie in 15 months time. I am sure that you will share my view that we owe Tim an inestimable debt of gratitude for all that he has achieved in his 21 years as Head of the School; there will be time enough in the next year for us to show our thanks.

In the meanwhile, it is ‘business as usual’ at School, and the education of your child will not be affected. Governors have started to consider the appointment of a successor to Tim as Headteacher, and we will keep you posted on developments. We would wish to involve the whole School community – Governors, staff, parents, children – in this process, and we would welcome any thoughts from you as to ways in which we might involve parents.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Fitzjohn

Chair of Governors
