Farewell Mrs Williams

 

Mrs Williams will be leaving us at the end of this term to take up a new position in St Anselm’s Catholic School in Canterbury. I would like to wish Mrs Williams the very best of luck in her new post she will be greatly missed by us all in St Simon’s.

 

We have appointed Mrs Race to replace Mrs Williams but she will not be teaching in Year 1 but in Year 3 please see below. I am sure everyone at St Simon’s will extend a very warm welcome to Mrs Race in September.
