What busy week we have had! The
children have enjoyed a number of festive treats this week including our trip
to the Pantomime and our School Christmas Lunch. KS2 performed beautifully in
the Carol Concert last night and thanks to Mrs Hadley for organising this.
This week, however, has been tinged
with sadness for us all at High Beeches. Today we have bid a fond farewell to
Mrs Brannon after nearly 25 years of service to our school. She has always been
an integral and highly-valued member of our school team who will be sorely
missed. Mrs Brannon has worked with all the Headteachers since the school began
and has seen many changes. We know she is planning to visit us regularly and
look forward to hearing all about her retirement plans. On behalf of the whole
school, Mrs Brannon, we thank you for all your hard work and service to the
school and wish you a very Happy Retirement. We will miss you!
Well
done to the Learners of the Week, we are very proud of you all.
