Headteachers Update 1st July 2022

How are we in July already? Thank you for your understanding with the   changes to sport’s day, even though we then had blue skies this morning in Acomb! We look forward to seeing you next Friday.

Now class lists have been shared I can share some lovely HMO news with you all. Firstly, Emma Smith, Oak Trees class teacher is expecting a baby in September! Mhairi (pronounced v-ar-ee) will be covering Emma’s post for the year, Mhairi has experience of special school education and has worked in the Oaks for a year already. Jessie Bellamy who has worked in Hob Moor Oaks for almost 3 years will be leaving us this year to move to The Dales special school, which is nearer to Jessie’s home. Jessie joined the Oaks as a newly qualified teacher and it has been great to see her develop in confidence and knowledge. We will miss her creativity lots, the mess—not so much J Monique will be replacing Jessie, we recruited Monique earlier in the year so she has been teaching since Easter, which has enabled her to get to know HMO and set up a new choir lunch club! She’s a very busy lady! As I explained on the letter, we have increased our class numbers, Kat Nixon will join us in September to work in Blossoms class. Kat is relocating back to York with her family and is currently teaching in an all-though special school in Wigan in Early Years.

We have lots of lovely school trips happening over the next few weeks. Final call for those parents who need to give permission or payment.
