Goodbye Miss Gillett!

Members of our school community, both past and present, gathered together this evening to celebrate our Deputy Head, Shirley Gillett’s twenty seven years of dedicated service to Wykeham Primary School.

Miss Gillett came to teach in the Junior School in 1987. She taught many classes in the juniors before moving to the Infant School to become the deputy head. When both schools amalgamated, Miss Gillett continued in her role as deputy head for the newly formed Wykeham Primary School.

During her time at the school, Miss Gillett has worked tirelessly, conscientiously and passionately to develop the full potential of both children and adults, with whom she has worked. She will be remembered, among other things, for running the school book club, playing the piano in assembly, camping at Stubbers, accompanying Year 6 on their residential visits and for helping to enthuse and train our next generation of teachers.

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to Shirley Gillett for her commitment to the school over so many years. She will be greatly missed by us all and we wish her every happiness and success for her future.
