It’s farewell to Claire at Pomphlett!

After a professional lifetime in the teaching profession, Pomphlett’s headteacher, Claire Makelis, leaves us next Thursday.

Claire has been the headteacher at Pomphlett since she stepped up from the role of deputy in 2019.

Claire has done an amazing job leading a marvellous school and we wish her all the best for a long and happy retirement.

Thank you Claire, goodbye and good luck!

Comic Relief fun at Shakespeare!

For comic relief and to raise money, SLT had a Shakespeare bake off in assembly and the children and staff loved it. It got a little messy but Courtney and Mel won by votes of the crowd. We also sold raffles to children for the chance to paint our faces and we had to wear it for the day.

New found respect for Mel who had the craziest face paint and actually walked to TESCO to get lunch with the face paint. We were stopped multiple times to ask if there was an event so were we able to raise awareness of comic relief out in the community! 

A fun day had by all.

Fantasy Football update

Although there are still a few weeks of the football season left, it’s all getting a bit close at the top of the 58 strong LAT wide Fantasy Football league.

Loads of schools are represented in the current top 10, with 2 appearing twice!

Hyde Park and Prince Rock have 2 teams in the top 10 league shown here on the right, but there are also teams from Ford, Woodfield, Salisbury Road, Shakespeare, Hooe and LAT HQ!

But who will win the league in the end?

Watch this space for more updates!!

That’s it from me for this half term!

Next week we will sending out the LAT parent newsletter, the school improvement teams teaching and learning newsletter, alongside the latest LAT CHAT!

There will be no CEO update next week, so let me take this opportunity to thank you all once again for everything you do for our children and I hope you have a fantastic Easter break.

I will hopefully see some of you at next week’s LAT Quiz!

Best wishes,

Simon
