It is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of two esteemed members of our staff, Bruce Spencer and Julie Allen.
Bruce Spencer, our Assistant Headteacher, will be retiring on 31st August 2024 after an impressive 19 years of service to Berkeley Primary School. Throughout his tenure, Bruce has made significant contributions to our school's growth, always going above and beyond to support our children, staff, and wider community. His commitment, expertise, and unwavering dedication will be greatly missed. We will forever be grateful for his invaluable contributions to our school.
Furthermore, Julie Allen, our beloved Family Worker, will also be retiring on 31st August 2024, having served the school for over 20 remarkable years. Julie's unwavering support and compassion have touched the lives of countless children and families within our school community. Her commitment to ensuring the well-being and success of our children has been truly inspiring. We will always cherish the positive impact she has had on our school.
As we bid farewell to Bruce and Julie, we want to express our gratitude for their exceptional service and dedication. They have both played instrumental roles in shaping Berkeley Primary School into the nurturing and thriving school it is today. We wish them well on their new chapter in life.
