This week, some of our Year 5 students headed off to the netball courts at Warwick Schools Foundation with other schools from Stratford. The children were able to practise their skills on the court by completing some training drills with a netball coach and then got the chance to use them playing against other schools.
It was a wonderful opportunity for some children who have not played netball before, but wanted to give it a go, as well as some more experienced players. Everyone represented Alveston with pride and we in turn were very proud of Isabelle, Jake, Willow, Yaseen, Kiki, Seb, Jack and Harry. Well done everyone!
It is with great sadness that I write to announce this summer, the wonderful Mrs Quainton Stubbs will be retiring. Not only will we lose a fabulous SENDCo, we will also lose a dear friend and colleague. Having personally worked with Mrs Quainton Stubbs for seven of the last eight years, across two schools, I cannot imagine Alveston without her.
A teacher for 38 years, of which four have been at Alveston, Mrs Quainton Stubbs has decided now is her time to look forward to her next adventure. This has been a really tricky decision for her - she would dearly love to see all the children and families she works with through to their next stage of education.
Mrs Quainton Stubbs has been very kind when considering her resignation and given us much more notice than is required. We will do our very best to recruit before the end of the summer, however we know most great SENDCos would not want to leave their children mid-year. If required, Ruth has agreed to continue to work with her replacement for the first half term of 2024 / 2025 to support a comprehensive hand over.
I know I speak for us all when I say Mrs Quainton Stubbs will be missed, not just by the Alveston A Team, but also by our entire community.
With her husband already retired, we know there are fabulous adventures ahead for them both and I would like to take this opportunity to wish them all the very best for the future.
JustGiving sends your donation straight to Little Princess Trust and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
Thank you for your support!
Please let the school office know each day your child is absent from school by calling 01789 293412, option 1, and leaving a message. You may also email parents3002@welearn365.com. You do not need to contact us daily if your child is sick/vomits.
