In memory of our Governor Jean Stidwell, an<br />
additional award of the Jean Stidwell<br />
www.pennandtylersgreen.org.uk<br />
<strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> <strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember <strong>2019</strong><br />
Community Award was presented by Ray,<br />
Jean’s husband to Charlie O. This new award<br />
has been devised by myself and in collaboration<br />
with Ray to be given to a pupil who has offered<br />
a genuine contribution to school life, delivered<br />
with a generosity of spirit, modesty and little<br />
regard for recognition. The type of pupil who is<br />
kind, helpful and encouraging to others when<br />
they need it, and is the sort of person everyone<br />
needs as a friend.<br />
The children then changed into costume and<br />
the stage became alive with music. Our Year 6s<br />
will leave with many fond memories of the final<br />
weeks of TGMS, particularly their leavers’ play<br />
– Darwin Rocks. Telling the life of Charles<br />
Darwin, the children acted, danced and sang<br />
magnificently and it truly was a night to<br />
remember.<br />
I am enormously proud of what we have<br />
achieved and in particular offer my<br />
congratulations to the Year 6 pupils for the<br />
tremendous end of Key Stage 2 SATS results. In<br />
comparison to the national picture, yet again the<br />
staff at TGMS have continued to support our<br />
pupils to achieve significantly above other<br />
schools across the country.<br />
I will really miss them all but take pride in a<br />
job well done I am confident that the children<br />
are now more than ready to fly the nest and<br />
move on to even bigger and better things. Good<br />
luck and keep in touch! Vanessa Pinkney, Headteacher<br />
Tylers Green First School<br />
I am delighted to be in the privileged position of<br />
Interim Headteacher at Tylers Green First<br />
School for the duration of the Autumn Term. It<br />
is an exciting time for the school as Governors<br />
work hard to appoint a new substantive<br />
Headteacher who will take up post in January<br />
2020. However, schools are constantly evolving<br />
environments and we have a term crammed full<br />
of events, trips and new initiatives, many of<br />
which link us to our wonderfully supportive<br />
wider community.<br />
We recently hosted a Macmillan Coffee<br />
Morning and have raised over £175 already. To<br />
