• TEACHING Award Regional Finalist 2008 - Chickerell School are thrilled to share with everyone their very exciting news.

They are Regional Finalists (South of England) within the Sustainable Schools category of the Teaching Awards.

t is a real achievement to come this far, and they are very proud of their "sustainable" credits - namely their emotional sustainability through their SEAL work and their Healthy School learning.

The nomination is the result of a lot of hard work by everyone - staff, pupils and the parents.

They are looking forward to the Regional Finalists' Ceremony in mid-June which Jane Delaney and Mrs Bonnett will be attending.

They would like to thank everyone for their continued support.

  • CHICKERELL Primary School will be saying goodbye to their school secretary, Mrs Tricia Pearson, at the end of the school year.

She is leaving to take a well-deserved retirement after working at Chickerell School since 1992.

They have been very fortunate in having Tricia as their school secretary as anyone who has visited the school office can testify.

Tricia has always managed this busy job with good humour and efficiency. The children, staff and governors would like to thank Tricia for all her hard work and commitment in making our school office run so smoothly and wish her all the best for the future.
