THIS ISSUE: 5th March 2015 Dear Parents, So much happens, so quickly, in just a few weeks. Can we really believe that half term was only 2 weeks ago! Our primary phase building has ‘leapt’ up and is really starting to look like a school now. The bungalow area has finally transformed itself into a 33 space car park which will no doubt ease some of the congestion on site. Every week, parents meet together for various calendared events and activities. This week our new parents received notification of their new Year 7 places—all 172 them. Alison Saunders

PRIMARY PHASE LEADER We are delighted to announce the appointment of Ruth Oakenfull as our Primary Phase Leader. Ruth is a very experienced Early Years practitioner and joins us from Abel Smith primary school where she has worked for nine years. Ruth will start work with us in May on a part-time basis and will join full time at the beginning of June. This should give her time to familiarise herself with our school, organise the curriculum and get classrooms and other areas ready for our reception intake – plenty to keep Ruth busy! We warmly welcome her to our Simon Balle Community.
