Every year staffing in nurseries and schools change across Fife and we are no exception, we have several staffing changes for next session as detailed below.

• Miss Doyle, DHT, transfers to Burntisland Primary School and ELC.
• Mrs Ross, EYO, left earlier this term to relocate with her family. Her post has been filled on a supply basis by Mrs Mitchell. Mrs Mitchell will leave us at the summer.
• Mrs Louise Bisset, EYO, transfers from St Leonards nursery and will fill Mrs Ross’ post. Mrs Bisset will work in the Squirrels next session, working mornings and share a keyworker group with Mrs Anderson.
• Mrs Henderson has successfully finished her apprenticeship and is now a fully qualified EYO. She has secured a temporary post at Lumphinians nursery and will leave Lynburn at the Summer holidays.
• Miss Dingwall, PSA, has successfully secured a post as an Apprentice EYO and will start her apprenticeship in August 2024 at Treetop Family Nurture Centre.
• Miss Catriona Hart, EYO, will join the Little Owls on a short term temporary basis from August 2024 until October 2024 to cover Miss Rachael Steel’s maternity cover.

• Ms Scott, Peri Nursery Teacher, currently works between ourselves and Duloch nurseries. She has decided to reduce her working hours as she prepares to retire in a few years. As a reduction in her hours, Ms Scott will work Tuesdays and Wednesdays from August 2024. This means that she will now only be based within our nursery.
• Miss Langa, HNC student, supported by Mrs Greer has successfully finished her placement and has decided to further her studies at University studying to become a Primary School Teacher.

I am sure you will join me in wishing everyone moving on the very best of luck and thank them for their hard work, commitment and enthusiasm they have brought to Lynburn.
