Goodbye?..and thank you!
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our school cook, Pauline at the end of this term. Pauline has been cooking dinners here at Prince Rock since November 1990 and involved with school meals in the area since 1978. Although the school meals service is run separately by the city council and 'our cook' is not actually employed by the school, we very much see Pauline as one of the staff here and she will be sorely missed. Plymouth City Council's catering department have appointed Claire Bowden to the role and she will be starting straight after Easter.
Mel Baring who works as one of our teaching assistants in Reception is also leaving us again to take up a new post abroad. Mel had a term and a half working in Turkey last year and she's off again to soak up some more sun! Mel will also be greatly missed by everyone here at Prince Rock. Mrs Minter will be taking over as her full time replacement in Reception.
Last but by no means least, Mr. Clooke is leaving us, but not until the end of the summer term. Mr Clooke has gained a promotion to
Old Priory Junior School where he starts in
September. More on Mr. Clookes many years
at Prince Rock in next term's newsletters!
We will be advertising for a new teacher straight
after Easter and we will let you know as soon as
an appointment is made.
Happy Easter! S. Spry Headteacher

A big thank you to everybody for returning their school survey
