With a week to go before the end of term we would like to express our sincere thanks to Diana Batty, who is stepping down after an amazing 23 years serving on our Governing Body, and more than half of those as Chair of Governors. She has been a wonderful governor, continually supporting the staff at Ronald Tree to make sure the children benefit from every opportunity possible. She has tirelessly fought our corner with the council and government alike to try and make sure that nursery schools as a whole survive. We will all miss her very much, and wish her all the very best for her 'second retirement'! We hope that she will keep in touch with her Ronald Tree family. Diana is seen here with our current head teacher, Karen Sharman, and former head teacher, Rosalind Parker, celebrating her 'retirement'.
