Farewell to Val

Wed 19 Apr 2023

Val, our School Cleaner, now retiring,

A hard-working soul, never tiring.

She's mopped the halls and dusted the shelves, Leaving the school spotless, like no one else.

For years she's worked with a smile so bright, Making our school shine day and night.

She's a friend to all, a face we know, Her kindness and love, we'll surely miss, though.

No task too big, no mess too small, Val's efforts have kept us standing tall.

Her dedication and love for our school, Has made a lasting impact, that's a fact.

As she moves on to a well-deserved rest, We'll never forget all she's done, she's the best.

So here's to Val, our School Cleaner true, Wishing her joy, laughter, and happiness too!

During Fairtrade fortnight, Monday 21st February -Sunday 6th March, we are going to be learning about the people who grow our food and drinks, mine our gold and who grow the cotton in our clothes – people who are often exploited and underpaid.

'Through learning about how we are all connected through the things we eat, drink and wear, young people are equipped with the knowledge and skills to shape a more compassionate and sustainable world.'
