Parent Announcement

Dear Sandy Lane Families,

I hope that you’ve all had a lovely Easter break. I am very excited to start officially tomorrow on my first day as the new Headteacher of Sandy Lane.

Don’t forget that school starts back on Wednesday 23rd April as tomorrow is an INSET Day.

Later this week, I will be sending my first Headteacher Newsletter, which will be published fortnightly. In addition to this, we’re getting our social media accounts set up and ready to go. In the meantime, all communication will continue through: Email, Text, MCAS App and our Website so we’ll make sure you don’t miss a thing!

I’m very pleased to share some exciting news with you regarding our SEND provision here at Sandy Lane.

After a thorough recruitment process, we are delighted to welcome Mr Walsh as our new SENCO. Lloyd will be joining the team after this half-term break, officially starting on Tuesday 22nd April.

Mr Walsh brings with him a wealth of teaching experience and a strong, evidence-based approach to supporting children with SEND. He is a passionate advocate for inclusion and is deeply committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to flourish both academically and personally.

In addition to his SEND expertise, Mr Walsh also has a particular passion for STEM and Science, which we are excited to see enrich our wider curriculum.

We look forward to working with Mr Walsh and are confident that he will make a positive and lasting impact on our school community. Please join us in giving him a very warm welcome to Sandy Lane!

Kind regards,

Ms K Parkhouse
(Headteacher)
