Governor News March 2025

Message to Parents on behalf of Ashton Governors:

During her time at this school Mrs Peacey has achieved many objectives, consolidating the school’s strong reputation, carried us all through the troubled Covid-19 days, oversaw a solid OFSTED inspection and was integral in the establishment of our thriving pre-school.

On behalf of the Governors, we all thank Mrs Peacey for her remarkable dedication to the school over the last eight years. We sincerely wish her the very best as she considers the options open to her as she steps down as our Headteacher at the end of the Summer term.

However, I am sure that you will all be pleased to hear that the governors have already started in earnest the process of recruiting a new Headteacher. Our aim is to attract the very best candidates to interview, with the aim of appointing Mrs Peacey's successor as soon as practical.

I’m sure that this will be an exciting opportunity for a new Headteacher to open the next chapter in the school’s history and with your help continue to build a bright future for all of our pupils.

Yours sincerely,

Geoff Mills

Chair of Governors
