I am writing to inform you that recently, I have been out of school during parts of the week. Providing cover and leadership support at another Island Learning Trust School and so I have been less present at Sunny Bank. On the days that I have been absent, Mrs Johnson (Assistant Headteacher at Sunny Bank) and Miss Akrill have been supported by SLT members from across the Trust Including the CEO. 

I am still very much leading Sunny Bank Primary School. During this time, the school has continued to function successfully, the great learning has continued and our children continue to thrive. This arrangement will be in place into the near future with the same level of support from the Trust. 

Going forward, any questions or matters arising that parents would normally direct to me should be directed to Mrs Johnson for ease of communication. 

I have every confidence that, with the TILT support and our strong community partnership, we will maintain the high standards, outcomes and care for our children that has come to be the normal expectation at Sunny Bank. 

I thank you in advance, as always, for your understanding and support as partners in our children’s education.
