Bellsbank Primary School and ECC

Mrs Sullivan – Announcement

Good Morning Everyone,

Just a note to let you know that I have decided to take early retirement from education at the end of June and so I will not be returning to Bellsbank after the Summer holidays.

I have worked for 20 years in teaching, 18 of them being at Bellsbank Primary. It has been a privilege to spend almost my full teaching career in this fantastic school and to be a part of your child’s story. I will leave a piece of my heart here and take with me many wonderful memories.

The job of Depute Head Teacher will be advertised in the coming days and the local authority are keen to appoint my replacement so that your child can meet them before the school breaks up for the Summer. I leave Bellsbank knowing that your child is in the expert care of a fantastic team of staff.

I wish you all the very best, wherever the future takes you.

Kindest Regards,

Gillian Sullivan

Message from Head of Education

Parents/Carers of children attending Bellsbank Primary and Early Childhood Centre (ECC)

Dear parent/carer,

I would like to confirm the temporary arrangements to provide leadership to Bellsbank Primary and ECC following the impending departure of Mr Currie whose last day at Bellsbank will be on Thursday 28th of March.

I am sure you will join with me in thanking Mr Currie for his many years of dedicated service to the school, ECC and community. I am delighted that Mrs Fiona Greig, Head Teacher of Dalmellington Primary and ECC will lead
both schools and centres until the summer and we will assess this arrangement going forward. Mrs Greig is looking forward to working with you and your children and will be supported by Mrs Sullivan as Depute Head Teacher.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support to Mr Currie and to wish you and your families a very restful break over the Easter holiday period.

With warmest regards,

LINDA McAULAY-GRIFFITHS
Chief Education Officer and Head of Education
