She has been a fantastic crossing patrol lady with a smile on her face everyday, no matter the weather, \u00a0to ensure the safety of our children at the main gate. She will be sadly missed but we thank her for her time at Grange and wish her all the very best!<\/p>\n

Mrs Robertson, who has taught at Grange for 21 years, will be retiring on the last day of term. She has been a fantastic colleague and a truly nurturing teacher. During\u00a0her time at Grange, she has supported many children across the whole school and shown endless care and compassion and without doubt she will be missed by all. I am delighted that she will be able to relax and spend quality time with her family! On behalf of all the children and staff \u2013 Thank you Mrs Robertson and we wish you all the very best!<\/p>\n
