Dear Parents and Carers,

This is our final newsletter of the term. Firstly, we would like to say goodbye to our leavers this year: Rico, Raekwon, Joshua, Jivani, Reece, Ellen, and Daniel. Our students enjoyed a lovely last week at school, capped off by a fantastic leavers prom at The Mount Hotel, Tettenhall. We wish all our leavers the very best for the future and hope they visit us soon.

We also bid farewell to Helen Masters, our Deputy Headteacher, who is retiring after 23 years of dedicated service to Tettenhall Wood School. Helen, your hard work and commitment have been invaluable, and you will be greatly missed by both staff and pupils. Additionally, we say goodbye to Jen Anslow, our Assistant Headteacher, who is moving on to new opportunities. Thank you, Jen, for your dedication and hard work.

Yesterday, we had our annual Celebration Event, and it was wonderful to see so many parents, carers, and families joining us. Pupils had a great time enjoying all the activities. Thank you to everyone involved in making this event a success.
