New Beginnings

As well as waving off our senior pupils at the end of last term, we also said goodbye to these valued members of staff (along with Mr Meadley, Mrs Nagel and Mrs Goss, who are not pictured). Mr Kane deserves a special mention, having been with the school for an incredible 17 years and serving as the Joint Acting Head alongside Mr Silk last year. One particularly memorable moment, according to Mrs Dare on our domestic team, was when he hid in a cupboard in the maths room one day and jumped o…ut on her while she was cleaning the room. “I remember that,” laughs Mr Kane. “It must have been over a decade ago…” So what is he going to miss the most? “Everything!” he says. “From the changing seasons to the actual manor house; I have a great respect for how old it is and how well it has looked after generations of children, staff and parents. Most of all though, I will miss the people – the children, the staff, the parents and the community of North Perrott.” Thank you for everything, Mr Kane, and thank you to each of our departing staff members for playing their part in making Perrott Hill the small but mighty school it is today. We are now looking forwarding to welcoming new staff and families for the start of the academic year on Monday!
