NEWSLETTERDear Parents/Carers,

Headteacher’s Welcome

I would like to thank everyone for making me so welcome to Ben Rhydding Primary School this week. I have had the opportunity to chat to lots of children and met some of you on the playground over the last 5 days.

I have had some delightful chats with children, seen some fantastic work and have been impressed with how hard so many children work. My aim is to showcase everything that is brilliant about our school, focus on what we could do better and making sure we are providing the very best education possible.

I have already tweeted examples of superb work to share with you during the week. We will also share our successes regularly via the school website.

Thank you for your support,

Ali Carrick

Interim Head Teacher

Year 4

Unfortunately Mr Fletcher is still ill and will not be in school for quite a while. I am sure you would all like to join us in wishing him a speedy recovery. We would like to welcome Mrs Kelly to Ben Rhydding who will be with us until Mr Fletcher's return. Mrs Kelly is an experienced teacher and is very much enjoying her time with year 4.

There will be three days (March 10th, 11th and 14th March) when Mrs Kelly is unable to come but these will all be covered by one teacher. If you have any concerns please get in touch with either Mrs Carrick or Mrs Seton.
