Farewell to Staff

FAREWELL TO STAFF

We give our thanks to the following members of staff who are leaving Prince Henry’s this year and wish them well for the future.  From the teaching staff, Mr Quantrell, Mr Hollis, Mrs Garcia and Mrs Holyoak.  We would also like to wish Mrs Joynes well in her retirement.  She has taught extra-curricular piano and lower strings to Prince Henry’s pupils for the past 22 years, and has made a significant contribution to music at the school. And finally, as we say goodbye to a number of staff, we must recognise the huge contribution of four longstanding colleagues who will be retiring at the end of this academic year, three of whom have served on the Senior Team during their careers.  Mr. Miller, Mr. Roberts and Mrs Butler have 95 years of continuous service at Prince Henry’s between them.  Their contribution to Prince Henry’s has been immense.  They have been hugely instrumental in supporting and developing generations of students and staff, past and present, and they will be dearly missed by the school’s community, as will Mrs Workman, who joined Prince Henry’s as a Textiles teacher in 1986 and has given 29 years of loyal service to the school.  Their retirements are richly deserved.

Dr Evans, Headteacher

Mr Butcher Chairman of Governors commented,

“As Chairman of Governors, it is my pleasure to add my grateful thanks on behalf of the Governors and the wider school community for the enormous contributions that Mrs  Butler, Mr Miller and Mr Roberts have made to the Senior Leadership Team at Prince Henry’s and to wish them a long and happy retirement.  During their remarkable careers, they have not just offered devoted service to the school; they have offered support and guidance to, literally, thousands of young people who have grown up in the Vale of Evesham.  Staff and governors alike have also benefited hugely from their wisdom, friendship and loyalty down the years.  They have represented all that is best in the teaching profession and have embodied the ethos that makes Prince Henry’s such a special place and will be missed by all of us”.
