Summer Break

All the staff at Kelvedon St. Mary’s would like to thank the children, parents and friends for helping to make 2007/08 so special!  We wish you all a great summer break and look forward to the children returning to us in September refreshed and ready to take up their learning again.

Goodbyes

We would also like to take this opportunity to say a fond farewell to all our Year 6 children; we know that they leave us with trepidation but we are confident that we have given them a fabulous start and they will all do themselves proud.

We would also like to say thank you to Mrs Wainman who has spent three years with us. We are particularly grateful for her enthusiasm and dedication in being part of the newly formed Eco Team.  As Mrs Wainman moves on, the school would like to wish her all the best for the future and know that many of our children and staff will miss her.

Mrs Pearce

We are delighted to inform you that Mrs Pearce is expecting a new baby. Mrs Pearce will be teaching in September in various roles and we will inform you nearer the time as to the arrangements for her maternity leave.
