We look forward to our new Deputy Head teacher, Miss Ward, starting after Easter. I am sure she will make a really positive contribution to our school. Mr Mohkta is staying in China and will not be returning to Alder. We wish him all the best in his future career. We have a new science teacher, Mr Tabernor starting after the June half term break.
