Unfortunately, Mr Langford will not be returning to work at the beginning of this term due to a recurrence of a serious heart condition.

Governors have appointed Mr Lowrie-Herz as full-time Acting Head for the time-being and have full confidence in his ability to lead the school.  He will be ably assisted and supported by staff and by governors who will ensure that any additional support and resource needed is made available.

We appreciate he will not be teaching Year 3 as planned during Mr Langford’s absence but appropriate long-term cover has been arranged in order to provide stability and continuity for the children.

In the meantime, I am sure you will wish Mr Langford all the best at this worrying time.

Ann Thorne

Chair of Governors
