Vacancies for New Governors

Foundation-Governor-Letter-2025-1-1 (2)

Local Authority Governor Letter 2025-2026

Parent-Governor-Nominations (7)

We currently have vacancies on our federation governing board for 3 categories of governor: parent governor, local authority governor and foundation governor.

It is very rewarding being part of the school governors and we are looking for new members with a variety skills that can help support the schools. The time commitment is approximately 6 meetings a year, plus any visits to school that you do in between to support staff and school leaders.

Attached to this post you will find the 3 letters detailing how to apply for each of these roles and a bit about the roles.

PARENT GOVERNOR: if you are interested in this role, there is an application form which needs to be brought back to school by 9am Friday 25th September. If you would like a hard copy of this form, please email the office and we will send one home with your child. It doesn’t matter which school your child attends, as the governing board supports both schools. You will be voted for based on your skill set and what you can bring to the board.

The other two roles are applied for directly via the links on the letters.

Poppy Cascade Project

This week, our children and staff had the pleasure of contributing to the Myddle Community Poppy Cascade Project.  We helped attach crochet and knitted poppies, made by volunteers within our community, which will help form a stunning display to be unveiled in November.  This was a meaningful opportunity for our pupils to reflect, connect with local history and feel proud to be part of this project.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful community for involving us in the special project – we can’t wait to see the finished cascade later this year.

💨🌩️ Weather forecasters! ☀️🌧️

Tigers have been busy being weather forecasters! We researched what a weather forecast tells us, what type of weather you might get in the UK and watched some examples of people presenting the weather. We then worked with a partner to plan and then present our own weather forecasts! ☀️🌧️💨🌩️

Announcement from Mrs Williams

Monday 18th November 2024

Dear parents and carers,

It is with surprise and sadness that I have to announce that Mrs Crowe will be leaving us at the end of this term. After ten years teaching at our federation, 6 of which have been at Myddle, she will be sorely missed by us all. Mrs Crowe will have taught nearly all of your children over this time and I know she will be missed very much by her Tiger cubs past and present. We thank Mrs Crowe for her dedication to Myddle, leading on the development of maths and Spanish across the schools, always being willing to support out of school events as well as being a great Tiger teacher.

We wish Mrs Crowe all the very best of luck with her new career (or a successful return to her previous career) and perhaps even a bit of supply teaching with us in the interim.

In order to make this change as smooth as possible for the children, we have appointed Mrs Mayle as our new Tiger teacher and she will begin after Christmas. Mrs Mayle will have taught most of the class when they were Pandas, so knows them extremely well. She is already busy working with them on the Christmas play!  We will be interviewing next week for a maternity teacher for Panda class until Mrs McGrath comes back. When this appointment is made, we will invite Panda and snow-leopard parents in to meet the new teacher.

With kind regards,

Clare Williams

Reminder – Children in Need Day tomorrow !

Please also please ensure your child has trainers in school for PE.
