New headteacher at Bolnore Village Primary School

Last month the Governors of Bolnore Village Primary School announced the appointment of Mrs Tracy Taylor as the new Headteacher of the school with effect from 1st September.

Tracy comes from Bramber Primary in Worthing and has been the Head there for 11 years. Prior to that she was the Deputy Head for three years at Balfour Infant (now Primary) School in Brighton and Hove. Tracy has also been a classroom teacher for 14 years, so she is bringing with her a wealth of experience as a successful teacher to the school.

Chair of Governors Chris Gage commented: “As Governors we believe that Tracy will fit well into Bolnore and is the right person to help direct the next phase of the school’s development. A passionate outdoor person herself and with a great sense of team building and the shared belief in irresistible and memorable learning, we are convinced that Tracy will continue to drive and support the many great things that are well established at the school.”

Cuckfield Cubs do a good turn

1st Cuckfield Cub Scouts

Last month we saw the 1st Cuckfield Cub Scout Pack doing their bit to support the local community by helping to collect litter in and around the village.

Twenty four Cub members walked from the Scout Hut at Longacre Crescent as far as the High Street, the Recreation Ground and Holy Trinity School in Glebe Road collecting over ten sackfuls of waste ranging from old clothes to a 25 litre plastic jerry can. The Cubs meet every Tuesday at the Scout Hut and are doing a range of activities this term, including hikes and a weekend camp.

Cuckfield Scout group is always looking for volunteers as leaders or committee members. If you are interested, please visit www.1stcuckfield.org.uk for more details.
