ALLHALLOWS PRIMARY ACADEMY A Member of The Williamson Trust Primary Executive Headteacher: Ms L Davenport Head of School: Miss J North

27th June 2018

Dear Parent / Guardian,

I am writing to inform you that I will be leaving my post here at Allhallows Primary Academy at the end of this term. This is not a decision that I have taken lightly – I have embraced every aspect of my role during my time here working with the community of Allhallows.

I have accepted a leadership position based in to commence in September enabling me to pursue further career interests.

The new Interim Head of School will be Mrs Lucie Wilson. Lucie worked as an Early Years and Key Stage one teacher in for 6 years before joining Elaine Primary Academy in 2014; where she was a member of the senior leadership team, before becoming Deputy Head of School in September 2015.

Lucie is a Primary Maths Specialist teacher and in 2016 completed the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leaders (NPQSL). She has also been a Lead mentor within school to support teachers who are training on BA, PGCE, Schools Direct and Teach First courses.

She was acting Head of School at High Halstow Primary from June 2017- May 2018, to cover the maternity absence of Mrs Stangroom, during which time the school received a good Ofsted report. She is also completing the National Professional Qualification for Headteachers (NPQH). To ensure that there is a seamless transition between posts I will begin a handover early next week.

Your children here at Allhallows Primary Academy truly are a credit to you all – I am confident that they will go on to achieve great things.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your commitment during my time in post.

Julie North
