• Goodbye to Mrs Mullinex, Mrs Featherstone and Mrs Faulkner

  Fri 07 Apr 2017

  As the Spring term came to an end, we said goodbye to three members of staff who are leaving Greswold. Mrs Mullinex has been in charge of Greswold Greyhounds for the past 7 years and is relocating to another part of the country. Mrs Featherstone is leaving Greswold after 15 years, having working in different roles including parent-volunteer, teaching assistant and teacher. Finally our Librarian Mrs Falkner is leaving to spend more time on other projects after 32 years of being associated with Greswold as a parent and a member of staff.  

   

  Greswold wished all of our leavers well in a special assembly. Mrs Scott led the farewell, with former headteachers Mr Bird and Mr Carnell also giving speeches. Our pupils had also been making cards filled with special messages which were presented as a memento and to say thank you. We wish Mrs Mullinex, Mrs Featherstone and Mrs Faulkner every success for the future and they will always be part of the Greswold family.
