Our New Head Teacher First of all I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mrs Watson, currently our Deputy Head Teacher, on being appointed as the new Head Teacher of Blaydon West. The interviews took place in front of a panel of Governors and representatives from the Local Authority. I have every confidence that Mrs Watson will work tirelessly to continue the hard work that has already taken place to make us all proud to be part of the Blaydon West community in the 21st Century. Well done Mrs Watson!

GOODBYE TO MRS McGUIRE I am sure you will all agree with me that this is a sad day for Blaydon West Primary School. Mrs McGuire is leaving us today to take up her new post at Kells Lane Primary School in September. Mrs McGuire has played a huge part in Blaydon West life since starting here six years ago. I know many children and parents will have very fond memories of Mrs McGuire, who has given our Reception children the best start they could ever have in school. We will miss you Mrs McGuire but we all wish you well in your new job!

WELCOME TO MR THOMPSON As we say goodbye to Mrs McGuire, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome Mr Thompson to Blaydon West Primary School. As mentioned on last week’s Newsletter, Mr Thompson is joining us from Oakfield Junior School. Mr Thompson has been in school today to meet his new class.

SPORTS DAY I would like to thank all of the parents who joined us on Monday for Sports Day. I am sure you will agree that using the field made Sports Day a much more enjoyable experience for the children. The marks have been totalled and I am pleased to let you know that Angel of the North came first! Well done to everyone who took part!

REMINDER School closes at 3.20pm today for the summer break. School re-opens at 8.55am on Tuesday, 7th September. Can I please take this opportunity to remind parents of the importance of children arriving in school on time. Failure to arrive on time not only disrupts children’s learning but also prevents other members of staff in school from carrying out their duties. Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

YEAR 6 LEAVERS’ TREAT—MICHELANGELO’S We are really sad to lose our Year 6 children who will be transferring to various secondary schools in September. As a final goodbye we have taken the children to Michelangelo’s for an Italian meal. I am sure they will all come back at some point to pay us a visit! We wish them all the best for the future.

100% ATENDERS’ ASSEMBLY This morning we held an assembly in school to celebrate and congratulate our 100% attenders! The following children have attended school every day for the whole of the 2009/2010 academic year. As a reward the children were presented with a gift voucher for £5.00 in the assembly. Well done: Ellie Johnson Dylan Palmer Noah Murray Amy McCaughey Steven Allan Megan Howie By working together we can improve our overall attendance and give our children the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
