It is with mixed emotions that we share
the news that Mrs Hutchison will be
retiring at the end of June.

Mrs Hutchison has been part of the Deerpark Family for
many years and has developed very positive
relationships with children and families
during her time as well as working hard to
ensure that our children have the very
best experiences whilst at school.

We are sad to lose Mrs Hutchison but delighted
that she will be spending her time with
family and friends enjoying life.

We would like to wish Mrs Hutchison all the very
best in this new and exciting chapter

Trees by hrumThe Eco Warriors spent their time this week planting trees on part of the playing field that they have designated as the new Wildlife Area.
They would really appreciate that anyone playing in/around that area respect the trees and all the hard work they put into planting them. It will be sectioned off, in due course, but meantime we hope that the trees can thrive where they are.

her new post.
