We are very sad to announce that Miss Fox (Class 3) will be leaving us at the end of this academic year as she relocates to Cheshire. Miss Fox has given 11 years of dedicated service to the school, consistently showing an exceptional commitment to both the education and wellbeing of the children in her care. Her contribution to school life has been significant and deeply valued by staff, pupils and the wider community. We thank Miss Fox for her tireless dedication and wish her every success and happiness in the next stage of her career.
Following a recruitment process, we are very pleased that Miss Revill, who has been a PGCE student here since January, has accepted the post of years 3 & 4 teacher from September.
I am now able to confirm the staffing for the next academic year:
Nursery and reception—Miss Brierley
Years 3 & 4— Miss Revill
Years 1 & 2—Mrs Timiney
Years 5 & 6—Mrs Longford and Mrs Nayler.
The teaching assistants will continue to work across the school to support the teaching as required.
This week, all children have taken part in our international art week. Class 1 are exploring African art. Class 2 have been inspired by Japanese artist Yatoi Kusama, class 3 ~ Jane Ash Poitras, a Canadian artist and class 4 ~ Frida Kahlo from Mexico. The work produced by the children will form
part of the creativity and art exhibitions from 3pm on Tuesday 23rd June (Y3,4,5&6) and Wednesday 1st July (N,R,1&2). All welcome!
Tomorrow, children in years 3,4,5 and 6 will once again be taking part in the Brownlee Foundation Mini-Triathlon! A reminder that children in Y 3,4,5 & 6 should be in school for 8.30am.
YCAT are holding an Online Safety Information Evening for parents on Tuesday 11th June 6-7pm.
Information about the event was emailed out on Monday.
On Wednesday 17th June, we will be holding a whole school careers afternoon. If any parent / grandparent would be willing to have a ’stand’ in the school hall between 2-3pm and talk to the children about their occupation, it would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested please contact Miss Brierley on obrierley.askwith@ycatschools.co.uk.
