New Headteacher Wanted!

As I am sure most of you are already aware it is my intention, after twenty five years at the helm, to retire as Headteacher of Malpas Church Junior School. Deputy Headteacher Mr Malcom Rayner who has been at the school for thirty years will also be retiring at the same time. The Governing body of the school are now seeking to appoint a new Headteacher to start in September 2012.To ensure a measure of continuity in the leadership of the school Mrs Karen Robins has been appointed to take over as acting Deputy Headteacher to support the new Headteacher until such time as the post is made permanent.

The Governors have also decided that in the best interests of the school it will remain as a single phase school (junior school) and therefore there will be no amalgamation taking place with the infant school.

Going the extra mile!

On Monday 26th March the children took part in a Sport Relief Day. The children donated £1 to charity and enjoyed a day of sport related activites such as designing a sport relief t-shirt, a one mile run and welly throwing. Everyone had a great time and we were spoilt with the weather!

Our Eco-Greenhouse

As part of our continued efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle we have been constructing a greenhouse made of two litre soft drinks bottles. We have had a great response from the children and the bottles are coming in thick and fast. As you can see from the pictures we are doing well, but we still need your bottles, so keep them coming!
