A farewell was held at Flourish House for our three School Effectiveness Advisers Pauline Dodds, Karen Sancto and David Williams, who will retire at the end of August, after a combined 40 years of service with the diocese.
Bishop Michael led the tributes and thanked them for their dedication and service to the 181 schools for whom they have lead training for staff and governors, delivered material for Inset days, helped with SIAMS preparation and provided pastoral support.
Family, friends, and many of the people they have worked with over the years also came to say farewell.
