It has been another busy year at Palmerston with the much anticipated return of class assemblies, after school clubs, school choir, dance group, school trips and community events such as the recent summer fiesta. It has been wonderful to once again be a physical part of the Palmerston community.
On a very sad note, we lost one of our long standing community governors. Vicky Edwards was an integral part of the governing body for in excess of 20 years, she helped maintain those important links with Dow and was a huge advocate for the school. She will be incredibly missed and we will always be very grateful for everything she did for the school.
The year has not been without its challenges, and I would like to thank all the staff at Palmerston for going above and beyond to provide an enriched learning environment where children feel safe, happy and valued. We have welcomed our new Deputy Head; Mr Jones, achieved Silver status for Rights respecting, hosted guests from overseas and welcomed parents back to the Oasis room. I would like to thank all the parents and carers in the Palmerston community for consistently supporting the school and pupils to be the absolute best they can be. We have once again showed that ‘Together we can succeed’.
Lastly, I would like to express gratitude to the wonderful PTA for all their hard work. Have a wonderful summer and I look forward to seeing you back in September for what I am sure will be another successful year.
Many thanks, Emma Ryles Chair of Governors at Palmerston Primary School
