Mr. Philcox has informed the school of his decision to retire on the 3^rd April 2020. The governors are sorry to hear of his forthcoming departure, as in his two years of headship here at Churchfield School, he has worked hard to enable our school to continue to improve for all of our children. He has had their wellbeing, their progress and opportunities for new and exciting experiences at the heart of every decision; he will be hugely missed. I am sure you would wish to join me in wishing him the very best for his future, in retirement.

In the meantime, Mrs. Eveleigh, who is the Regional Director for the BWMAT, will continue working closely with Mr Philcox until the end of the spring term to ensure there is a smooth transition to the new Head. The recruitment for the new Headteacher has started and we hope to make an appointment in the very near future.
