GOODBYE AND THANKYOU

Dear Parents and Carers,

I would like to extend my sincere thanks for the unwavering support, kindness, and trust you have shown over the past few years. It has been both an honour and a privilege to serve this remarkable community and to play a part in shaping the lives of your truly wonderful children.

As I have previously mentioned, my daily commute to Darlington is considerable, so when the opportunity arose to take on a similar role at a school much closer to home, it offered the prospect of a better work life balance. This was not a decision I made lightly, but one I felt I could not reasonably decline.

Reflecting on my time at St John’s fills me with immense pride and affection. I joined the school as Assistant Head in January 2014 and had the great honour of becoming Headteacher in 2021. Following in the footsteps of Miss Large was no small task; however, from the very beginning, you welcomed me with warmth and generosity, for which I will always be deeply grateful. Working alongside such dedicated staff, supportive families, and, above all, such inspiring children has been an absolute joy.

As the saying goes, all things must come to an end. While this chapter is closing, the memories and relationships I have formed here will remain with me always.

Mrs Rossington will take on the role of Acting Headteacher for the summer term, supported by Mrs Ferris as Acting Deputy Head. Having worked closely with both colleagues over a number of years, I have every confidence that the school will continue to thrive under their care, and it will very much be business as usual. The Trust is currently undertaking the process of appointing a permanent Headteacher for September 2026.

As we approach the Easter period, I would like to wish you and your families a joyful and peaceful holiday, along with every happiness and success in the years ahead. St John’s will forever hold a very special place in my heart, and I will miss you all dearly.

With sincere affection and gratitude,

Mr Ramsay
