NEW START - NEW SCHOOL - NEW NAME
The Interim Governing Body met on the 2nd February and decided to recommend to the County Council and the Diocesan Board of Education that the name of the new school should be
Hythe Church of England Community School
My thanks to the children of both schools for their thoughtful and creative contributions.
Please note that this is subject to approval by Kent County Council who have to check on duplication etc. However I felt it important to inform the community as soon as the recommendation had been decided. The two schools sent out a flyer on Friday 3rd February, but if you missed it here is the confirmation.
The Interim Governing Body is working hard on your behalf.
There is a selection panel to shortlist candidates for the Headship.
This will meet prior the interviews on the 2nd and 3rd of March. If we make a decision we will meet as a full Interim Governing Body on the evening of 3rd March to seek ratification.
Otherwise there is nothing of substance to report.
Your Governors are clear that we need to communicate openly with our community.
However we need you to be patient!
Remember if you are not hearing anything it means that nothing has been decided.
The new school, ‘Hythe Church of England Community School’, will open in September 2006.
We will work on the present sites, until the new building opens sometime between Easter and September 2007.
The new build is adjacent to the present infant school and includes premises for the youth club.
The Governors are in the process of appointing a Head Teacher for the school.
Interviews will be held on the 2nd and 3rd March,
after which we will be looking to establish a staffing structure.
As soon as I have more detail I will of course come back to you.
Tim Hogg - Chairman of the Interim Governing Body
