I hope this letter finds you well. As the CEO of Prince Albert Community Trust, I am writing to inform you that I will be stepping down after an incredible 14 years of service. It has been an honour and a privilege to lead this outstanding organisation. It has always been my ambition to work internationally, and I have been given the opportunity to work in Dubai. After careful consideration, I have decided to embark on a new adventure with my family.
During my time at PACT, we have achieved great success together. We have improved the quality of education, expanded our extra-curricular activities, improved our school facilities, and opened a new secondary school for our students. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served such a dedicated and aspirational community, and I will look back with deep satisfaction of what the staff and community have achieved together.
As I prepare to leave, I am confident that the future of this organisation is in good hands. I have had the pleasure of working closely with my Deputy CEO, Phillipa Sherlock-Lewis, who has been an integral part of our success over the past 14 years. Her dedication, expertise, and leadership skills make her the perfect successor. I have no doubt that under her guidance, PACT will continue to thrive and make a positive impact on the lives of our students, staff, and the communities we serve.
At each school I made a promise to you, the parents and carers about the quality of education your children would receive because that is what they deserved. I am thankful to God that by his Grace we have been able to keep these promises. It has been the greatest privilege of my professional life to serve you as a head teacher and then as CEO. I want to thank you for your often unwavering trust and support over the years. I look forward to hearing about PACT going from strength to strength.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful festive period and I wish you all the very best for the Year ahead.
May I take this opportunity to thank you all for the very warm welcome that I have received since starting my position. I look forward to continuing to work with the Heathfield commu- nity. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the office and book an ap- pointment with myself or my Deputy, Mrs Smith.
Water competency is often misinterpreted by parents and guardians as their child being able to jump into a swimming pool and being able to put their face in the water. The reality is very different.
Learning to jump into a swimming pool is an important safety skill that children often achieve in the early stages of their learning to swim journey, as it is one of the outcomes in our Pre-School Framework
Tick-off fantastic things for you and your child to experience together.
50 Things To Do Before You’re Five gives you 50 activities that parents and carers can support their children to try out and repeat.
Dear Parents and Carers,
Only one more week to go until half term! The first half term of this academic year has flown by and this week we have held the first parent consultation evening of the year. It was such a pleasure to see lots of you here and for the teachers to be able to share with you how the children have settled in. On the whole, most children have had a good start, but I did hear some teachers asking for parents to be checking children’s planners and listening to them read regularly. If that was you, please do support us in this way as reading is the key to success!
