Special Announcement
I am writing to share some important news regarding a valued member of our school community. Our SENDCO and Deputy Headteacher, Leanne McGowan, has recently been appointed as the new Head of School at The Observatory School. This is a fantastic opportunity for Mrs McGowan and a well-deserved recognition of her dedication, skill, and leadership.
Mrs McGowan has been an integral part of our team, and her work has made a lasting impact on the children, families, and colleagues she has supported. Her commitment to inclusive education and her advocacy for pupils with additional needs have shaped a nurturing and supportive environment that we will always be grateful for.
Mrs McGowan will be leaving us at the end of this academic year to take up her new role. While we will all miss her deeply, we are incredibly proud of her achievement and wish her every success in this exciting next chapter of her career.
We are currently in the process of recruiting a new SENDCO and will ensure a smooth transition so that our pupils and families continue to receive the support they need.
Please join me in congratulating Leanne and thanking her for the wonderful contribution she has made to our school.
Kind regards,
Julia Haggett
Head of School
