Goodbye Miss Morse (For Now!)
We are very sad to
announce that Miss
Morse will be leaving us
at the end of the spring
term temporarily to take
up a secondment across
two schools in Deptford.
She will be working to
support their curriculum
Early Years Photos development. Miss Morse is a wonderful and
dedicated teacher and will be missed greatly
by Dinorwic Class and Redriff.
Welcome Miss Roche
We have been incredibly
fortunate to employ Miss
Roche- she is an
experienced teacher and
has worked previously in
Southwark. Miss Roche
will be spending the final
week at Redriff before the
Easter holidays to get to know the class and
ensure there is a strong transition between
both teachers.
We Will Miss You Tracy
Finland Class Teaching
Assistant, Tracy, will be
leaving Redriff at Easter
and moving onto an
exciting new opportunity.
We will miss her deeply,
as will the children, but
she will remain in the local

around.
