board games cafe nights Week night Coffee Bar? Free drink offer! This is a reminder to all those of you who work, or go to school or college and cannot get to the Court House Café during the day or at weekends. On Monday, 14th March between 7pm and 9pm please come along, bring friends; have a free coffee or non-alcoholic drink; and enjoy yourselves. We are considering opening some evenings each month as a coffee bar, ESPECIALLY for those who cannot come during the day, so they might meet friends, talk to each other, play computer or board games together, use the Wi-fi etc; but we cannot do any of that without your support. On that evening we will have some board games to play, or you might want to bring your own, but we just want you to come along and enjoy yourself (playing games will not be compulsory!) in a very relaxed atmosphere. If you cannot come that night but are interested in, or have ideas about, regular informal evening events, please tell Maureen in the library or contact one of us: Terry ( terryrose10@gmail.com), Laura ( laura.injac@hotmail.com) or Nikki (nikki@nicolamcdonagh.com) On behalf of SCALT
Stradbroke High School Head to Retire Andrew Bloom, Headteacher at Stradbroke High School, has announced his retirement in the summer saying that although he will be sad to leave, “It has been a privilege and honour to have been the Headteacher of Stradbroke High School over the past six years. During this time the school has seen many changes and has developed into one of the most successful Secondary Schools in Suffolk and indeed the country, both in terms of the results that pupils achieve and the progress that they make during their time with us.” In a recent letter to parents, Mr Bloom added; “The Chair of Governors, Andrew Smith, has already begun the process for recruiting my successor and will keep all members of the school community updated on progress towards a new appointment.” Sally Clarke
