Week 9, Term 2, 2025
Farewell Mrs george
Farewell to Mrs George and thank you so much for everything you have done over the years. Jill George started at Tinwald School over 25 years ago. She has worked tirelessly with children, staff and families to make Tinwald School a welcoming place to learn. Jill has been a very familiar face at our school and the reason why our library is such a lovely learning space. Jill has always been enthusiastic about reading and has shared her love of books with all children. We wish her all the very best as she now moves into an active retirement. Jill finishes this week and we look forward to her stories about keeping her sheep, or her grandchildren or even her husband in line!
All families are invited to our Celebration Assembly, 2pm Thursday 26 June in the Hall where we will farewell Mrs George.

School reports for your child go home this Friday. They will be in an envelope so please keep an eye out for them. The report contains a number of changes as we bring our reporting in line with the revised maths and english curricula. The reports also contain a link and QR code for parent interviews at the beginning of Term 3. Please make sure you book an interview time with your class teacher and bring your child's report with you to the interview.
