Hi Everyone,
I hope you have all managed to enjoy half term.
This message is to let you know officially, that Mrs Lloyd will be retiring at the end of this term.
Mrs Lloyd has been an extremely valuable part of Bullion Lane for 26 years, playing a tremendous part in all aspects of school life, and will be a huge miss.
Firstly, I would like to thank her for the dedication and commitment she has shown towards all the children that have been in her care. Mrs Lloyd has not only been an outstanding teacher but also someone who has played a key role in the lives of many who were vulnerable or needed extra support. Children are always made to feel special and cared for, ensuring they are happy and confident after speaking to her. Parents are also extremely appreciative of the hours of support she has given them.
Mrs Lloyd has not only been a positive role model and a huge support to the staff, but being a great team member, she has also brought energy, fun and laughter to the staff room. The time she has given, and her enthusiasm, enables staff to share their thoughts with her knowing that she will give help or advice if necessary.
From my point of view, it has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to work with Mrs Lloyd. She is a true professional and I couldn’t have wished for a better Deputy to work with.
She is reliable, loyal and our identical thought processes (most of the time!), and humour have ensured that we have being able to work extremely well together and made significant improvements to make this school as great as it is now.
She is not only a great work colleague but also a true friend who I will miss and who I am sorry to see go. I wish her all the very best for the future, and hope that she has a long and happy retirement.
Hi Everyone,
Well, what a half term it has been! The children have settled well and have been working really hard.
It is World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March so a homework activity has been sent home where children have been asked to design a book cover for their favourite book. Children can also come to school dressed as their favourite character on that day.
Have a lovely holiday!

Hi Everyone!
Cinders!
Very well done to all children in our Performing Arts club. The performance of Cinders was fantastic. Everyone was professional, enthusiastic and made everyone laugh.
Reception Sing-a-Long
Well done to all Reception children who sang their hearts out at the outdoor sing-along. It was lovely to hear those well-known songs again!
Nursery Stay and Play
Thank you to those parents who came into Nursery to play and join in with their child to see what they were learning about.
Christmas Jumper Day
Everyone looked very festive on Christmas Jumper day where we raised £159.45 for Save the Children
Gala theatre
All children in Y1-Y6 had a fantastic time at the Gala theatre where we watched the pantomime, ‘Robin hood.’ The behaviour of the children was impeccable.
New College Pantomime
Children in Y3-Y6 enjoyed ‘A Christmas Carol,’ which was the pantomime provided by New College students. It was enjoyed by all who watched it.
