It is with great sadness that that we say farewell to Mrs Shields, who is leaving St Mary’s today. Mrs Shields has worked at St Mary’s as our school secretary in the office for the last six years, but has also dedicated herself over many years to other roles within our school and the community, such as clerk to the governing body, Friends of St Mary's, as well as being a parent of the school.

 As such Mrs Shields will be very much missed at St Mary’s and we are all very grateful for her hard work and enthusiasm for everything she has done for our school and the community over the last sixteen years. I am sure, therefore, that you will join me in wishing Mrs Shields well as she leaves to spend more time with her family over the coming months, as well as taking on new adventures and endeavours in the future.

Thank you, Mrs Shields, for all your hard work and support for our children, as well as your dedicated service to our school and community. We will miss you!
