We also welcome some new children into other year groups : Nia Felwick, Philippa Holman, Matilda Kettell, Archie Norton, Hannah Foston and her brother Liam Foston.
Goodbye – we say goodbye and thank you to Mrs Alison Ploszynski who, at the end of last term, was offered a fulltime position at The Learning & Communications Team in Abingdon where she has been working part-time over the last 12 months. We would like to thank Mrs Ploszynski for all her hard work over the last 13 years at Woodcote Primary School and wish her the very best of luck for the future. We will be arranging a leaving assembly for her, to give the children and the staff an opportunity to say ‘goodbye’.
