Staffing update – Miss Hill’s class

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing to inform you of a staffing update for Year 2, effective from January 2026.

Miss Hill will be taking on a number of Miss McCullagh’s responsibilities from January (Miss McCullagh was the assistant head and is currently on maternity leave).

To carry out these duties effectively, she will require additional time out of class. We are therefore delighted to welcome back Mrs King, who will be returning to school following her maternity leave. Mrs King is an experienced teacher who knows our school well, has recent experience teaching Year 2, and has a proven track record of supporting children’s learning and development.

From January, Mrs King will teach Year 2 (Miss Hill’s class) on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Miss Hill will continue to teach the class on Mondays and Tuesdays. Both teachers will work closely together to ensure consistency and continuity for the children, and we are confident that this job-share arrangement will provide a supportive and enriching learning environment.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Cook

NSPCC PANTS Assembly

This week, (03.11.25), children from Reception to Year 6 will be discussing the NSPCC’s PANTS rule as part of a class assembly, led by the class teacher.  During the assemblies, we will aim to teach our pupils the following important safety skills without giving explicit information.

We will be teaching our pupils the NSPCC’s underwear rule, using the ‘PANTS’ acrostic.

PANTS stands for:

  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help

The content of the session will be delivered in a way that is fully age appropriate.  The children will then complete additional class sessions in January as part of our ‘Share Aware’ week.

If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign, please feel free to book onto the parent/ carer workshop hosted by the NSPCC, taking place at Newdale Primary school on 06.11.25 (2:30-3:00pm). This can be booked via Parent Pay. Alternatively, if you have any questions, please speak to the class teacher.

Thank you for your continued support.
