Parent Workshop
We are excited to inform you that school will be hosting a parent workshop on Monday 18th September 2023 from 2pm held in the studio. The workshop will be led by Kelly Austin, the Emotional Wellbeing practitioner linked to our school (CAMHs). The workshop is called ‘When to worry about your worrier’ and further information can be found on the flyer.

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing this with mixed emotions as this will be my last message to you all before, I retire.

Thank you all for your support, care and above all your trust in letting me lead and manage the school over the last 4 years.

It has been an honour to have been seconded headteacher at Alderman Davies and I will miss everyone very much.

I have been overwhelmed with all the messages I received either written in cards or through the conversations I have had with you on the gate over last few weeks.

It really is a privilege to be a headteacher and an honour to have been a small part of your children’s education.

Your partnership and engagement has been invaluable and I am very grateful for this.

Thank you for the lovely gifts I have received too – you have been so kind.

The school will continue to flourish with the dedicated staff here in school.

I wish you a safe and happy summer and I look forward to hearing all the great things your children will achieve in the years to come.

Many, many thanks

Mrs Kath Phillips

Seconded Headteacher

Dear Parents/Carers,

I wanted to let you all know some news about our seconded headteacher Mrs Kath Phillips.

As you know Mrs Phillips has been working at Alderman Davies since taking up the seconded position of headteacher in September 2019.

Mrs Phillips will be taking early retirement from her post of substantive headteacher at Bryncoch CiW primary and as seconded headteacher at Alderman Davies at the end of the summer term in July.

It hasn’t been a decision taken lightly by Mrs Phillips as I know how much she has enjoyed her time at Alderman Davies. She has been in education for nearly 33 years and in senior leadership positions for over 20 years, but with a second grandchild due any day soon, she feels this is the right time to help her family and support them. 

I am sure you will join me in thanking Mrs Phillips for the fantastic work, support and guidance she has given to all the pupils, parents, staff, governors at Alderman Davies. As a school community we are going to miss her very much, but we also want to wish her all the best for the future. 

Mrs Phillips’s last day with the pupils will be Friday 21^st July ( INSET Mon 24^th July)

Thank you as always for your continued support. On behalf of the school, I wish you all a happy and safe half term.

Kindest Regards

Peter Nedin

Chair of Governors
