“Working at Mount Pleasant Junior School for the past 30 years has been an absolute pleasure.
"I have had so many amazing memories over the years having taught over 1,000 children.
“I seriously never thought I would leave until I retired, however, just before Christmas I was unexpectedly approached and asked if I would consider a secondment as Headteacher at Boynton Primary for a term as an interim measure until a new Head could be appointed.

“As soon as I walked through the door I instantly fell in love with the school.
"The children and staff were so welcoming and positive and for such a small school the facilities are amazing.
“I settled in almost immediately and I felt the values at the school aligned with mine and so within a few weeks I took the step of submitting my application for the Executive Headship of both schools. Needless to say I was utterly over the moon when I heard I had been successful!

The children are a delight and the staff are warm, nurturing, dedicated and work tirelessly to give the children the best school experience they can.
“We will be holding an Open Evening on June 15 at our newly-built EYFS facility at Boynton Primary between 5pm and 6.30pm.
"It would be my absolute pleasure to show you around either of our wonderful rural village schools and their amazing facilities.”
