Message from Partnership Development
Manager/PDM Emily Reynolds
|
Following what has been a very
turbulent first year in post as Partnership Development Manager at Kingdown
school as a result of changing Governments, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all the staff, parents and young people for your passion,
commitment, energy and enthusiasm for providing additional opportunities for
the young people of West Wiltshire to take part in PE and School
Sport.
Over the last 10 years the young people of West Wiltshire have
been very fortunate to benefit from a significant Government Investment into PE
and School Sport throughout which until this year was lead by my predecessor
Chris Bell. |
|
Although there is a significant reduction in funding
available, the Government has continued to fund a centralised School Games
Organiser role which I will take on as of September 1st, and 1 day teacher
release at each of the secondary schools to support primary PE and intra/inter
school competition.
However more important than funding, is the
inspiration of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games which should act as
an outstanding motivation for staff, students and parents which I urge you all
to take advantage of.
|
With the changes, it is important
at this time to say thank you and good luck to a number of staff that have been
an integral part of the partnership over recent years.
As of August
31st Jacqui Dufosee will no longer be the partnership oracle, but is taking on
a new role within Kingdown as 6th form support. I'm sure this over the years
everyone has been in contact with Jacqui via e-mail, on the phone or in person
and I can guarantee her move will be a huge loss to the partnership. Both
SSCO's Tony Mally and Trish Ritchie are also leaving the partnership for
pastures new, as well as 'The Dance Lady' Caroline Newman. |
I would like to thank everyone for their hard
work and support over this year, good luck for those leaving to pastures new,
and a happy and healthy rest for those returning for another fun and exciting
year in West Wilts next year.
