Dear Parents and Carers,
As you are all aware, Neil Butler (Executive Prinicipal, XP Trust), has been our Acting Headteacher this half-term whilst Miss Laing is on Maternity Leave. Mr Butler has worked closely with leaders in school to help ensure we are continuing to develop our practice to deliver the best education possible for our children.
Mr Butler has thoroughly enjoyed working with the Carcroft Crew and has been impressed by both the staff and children’s drive to be the very best versions of themselves. However, his role as Executive Principal is incredibly demanding and, due to ongoing developments at Trust Level, he is unable to continue to provide the time needed to work closely with Carcroft until Miss Laing’s return later this year.
As a result of this, we are pleased to inform you that Mr Tucker will take on the role of Acting Headteacher from November 1st until Miss Laing’s return later this year.
With Mr Tucker taking on this role, his crew will be taught by Mr Gerrard for the remainder of the school year. Mr Gerrard has been a teacher at Carcroft for the past two years and has already spent time with Crew Tucker by providing leadership cover this half-term. He has strong, positive relationships with the children and will be able to hit the ground running after half-term.
Mr Tucker is really looking forward to building on our great start and will ensure that Carcroft continues to move from strength to strength until Miss Laing returns.
Yours faithfully,
Carcroft Crew
