Chair’s Report for the AGM 2021-2022
Sutton Preschool has had another very successful year, bouncing back from the challenges of the pandemic and continuing to build on our previous successes. The children continue to thrive in the caring and safe learning environment which the staff provide. We have run a very successful transition for the September school starters with some wonderful activities providing opportunities for the children to prepare for their next steps into school. As we say goodbye to our older children who start school in September, we wish them every success in their first year at school. I would like to take this opportunity as a Trustee and a parent to thank all the staff for their hard work, care and dedication, without your enthusiasm and professionalism the Preschool would not be the happy and prosperous setting which we see today.
Staf
Debbie has led the Preschool exceptionally well with the support of a fantastic team, Delphine, Millie and Steph. The parents are full of praise for Preschool and are also aware of the lengths which you all take to provide the children with such an outstanding setting to attend.
We were very sad to say goodbye to Steph in May but are delighted that she has moved to a role as Teaching Assistant at Easingwold Primary School and we wish her every success.
We are really happy to be welcoming Alice back into our team this July as she returns from her maternity leave.
Committee
Helen Clark has been a very active member of the Preschool Committee for many years and latterly as our fantastic Treasurer and Trustee, a post she has held since 2019. Helen is now stepping down from this role and will be handing over to Hannah Woodcock in September 2022. On behalf of all the Preschool community, I would like to pass on our warmest thanks and appreciation for all Helen’s hard work. Helen has kindly agreed to continue with running the staff payroll for which we are extremely grateful.
Nathan Young is also stepping down as Secretary and Trustee, Michelle Dawson is going to take over the role from September 2022. Thank you, Nathan, for your help and support in your role which you have held since 2019.
I would like to take this opportunity to inform the Committee and Staff that I would like to stand down from my role as Chair at the end of the next academic year (September 2023). However, I will continue in this position until a suitable replacement has been found, and I have had the opportunity to provide a full handover.
Events
Christmas Fair, it was marvellous to hold our Christmas Fair again this year. It was a fantastic afternoon and a really fruitful fundraiser. Many thanks to all the staff and parent volunteers who gave up their time to make is such a successful event.
The annual summer trip is to Monk Park Farm and took place on Monday 4[th] July, this is always a wonderful trip for the children. The bus and ice creams were paid for by our fundraising events.
