On behalf of our Interim Executive Board of Governors and Stour Vale Academy Trust, we are very pleased to announce that a new permanent Deputy Headteacher has been appointed for Northfield Road Primary.

After a rigorous selection process, Mrs Bushell (current Acting Deputy Headteacher) has been appointed by the interviewing panel and will become the permanent Deputy Headteacher from September 2019.

Mrs Bushell is very passionate about the children, the parents and the strong place the school holds within the community and has been instrumental in recent school improvement initiatives.  She brings to the role, energy and commitment to providing the very best education possible for all the children at Northfield Road, helping them to develop and flourish to become the best that they can be.

We hope you will join us in congratulating Mrs Bushell on her appointment.

Our school is taking part in 'Walk to School Week@ which is the 20th -24th May 2019.

We would love as many children and parents as possible to walk to school, however you can also cycle or scooter if you prefer!

Why? Children all want the right to walk to school safely, with fewer traffic jams and less toxic fumes in the air.

We know time is short, but the benefits of active travel are numerous:

• Children arrive fit, refreshed and ready to learn.
• Congestion and air pollution levels are cut down.
• Parking issues are solved.
• Children learn vital road safety skills that will prepare them for the day they will walk, cycle or scoot to school on their own or with their classmates.

We will be using classroom packs to promote ‘Walk to School Week’ within school.

The Oliver King Foundation visited our school on Thursday 2nd May.  38 members of our staff received defibrillator training.
