Today we have said a farewell to the inimitable Mrs Moore: she will be retiring from her role at Coleham Primary School at the end of March.
As the first face many visitors to our school sees, Mrs Moore has been a deeply valued member of our school community over many years. Over the past decade, she has made a lasting contribution to the life of the school and to the children and families she has worked with. Her care, love, commitment and professionalism have meant a great deal to all: colleagues, pupils and parents alike.
We don’t say goodbye because it’s over: we say thank you because it happened.
While she has chosen to step away from school life quietly, it is important to us that we properly acknowledge her service and express our sincere thanks. Maria leaves us with our respect, appreciation and very best wishes for the future.
Maria has asked me to say that she feels incredibly lucky to have had what she describes as “the best job in the world, surrounded by the most wonderful colleagues and families.”
She will miss the children, the friendships and the varied & brilliant interactions every day that have made Coleham such a special place for her, and she wishes everyone in the Coleham Community all the very best for the future.
We know our families will want to join us in thanking her for everything she has given to the school, and we wish her a happy and fulfilling retirement.
