We have two members of staff who will be leaving us this term. Miss Reid will be leaving Year 6 to begin her maternity leave; we wish her all the very best and look forward to hearing her exciting news next term. The second member of staff who will be leaving us is Marina Holl who is our assistant school cook. Marina has worked at the school for 28 years and has seen a lot of changes over that time. We are all going to really miss her sense of fun, enthusiasm and energy. Always ready with a cheery word or an encouraging comment, she has been a fabulous member of our team and we all wish her a long, happy and healthy retirement. We will look forward to welcoming her back for a proper Grove Wood send off when circumstances allow.
