It was absolutely wonderful this morning to see all of our children arrive looking refreshed and rejuvenated ready for the new term. They all seem to have grown over the summer and everyone was so happy and excited to be back, even the staff! Due to some unforeseen circumstances we have needed to make some minor changes to staffing.
During the holidays Mrs Lisa Baldwin took an exciting new job and so we have sadly said goodbye to her after many years of dedicated service at Bainbridge School and to our wider federation. We wish her lots of luck and happiness in her new role.
I am delighted to announce that Mrs Abbey Teasdale (previously Connelly she got married in the summer!) has been appointed to our team as a full time teaching assistant. will be made available available Here you will find when we have had a week or so to check that they run smoothly, but if you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
I will share links when they are ready. In the meantime, please see the following info about PE and swimming.
