New Year 4 Teacher for 2016/17 – I am delighted to inform parents that after a very successful interview process the Governors have appointed Miss Laura Simmons as the class teacher to cover the maternity vacancy. Miss Simmons has already met the class and is now part of our moving up Friday afternoons. She has six years’ experience teaching lower junior classes and I know will be a great addition to our Wesham Team.
