A huge thank you to all our parents, carers and families from Olivia and I as we end our first term as Co-Headteachers. It has been such a busy time which started
with many children moving to a new classroom, teacher or peer group, along with 22 new pupils joining the school.
Your ongoing support and dedication to Hob Moor Oaks is amazing. We ended the year with 15 curriculum visits, 2 Christmas performances, a Christmas Fayre
which raised £553.01, and finished this week with our Sing and Sign Parties. So many of you joined us for these fantastic events.
Another “Thank You” to all our dedicated Hob Moor Oaks staff for their energy, creativity and support throughout this busy autumn term. Please have a wonderful
Christmas holiday; rest and recuperate ready for 2025!
It is that time of the year when we have to say “Goodbye and Good Luck” to several of our staff team.
We wish Emma Crampton lots of luck as she prepares to relocate and start her new role as a Teaching Assistant in another school.
We also want to say all the best to Nina Melrose. She has worked within HMO for several years, progressing from her starting role as an MCA to her current role as
a TA3.
Last but not least, we have to say goodbye and good luck to Dan Walmsley, HLTA, who leaves to join Teach Me Happy. Dan started at HMO in September 2014. In
his roles, he has worked with a huge number of pupils, past and present, alongside covering PPA, he has taken on responsibilities such as MATP, Rebound Therapy
and more recently as a NAPPI trainer.
We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.
We look forward to welcoming children back into school on Tuesday 7th January 2025.
A huge thank you to Steph Blair, her partner and their children Roman, at Hob Moor Community Primary Academy, and Camden, at Hob Moor Oaks, who run two businesses in
York.
They have worked with staff at their businesses to provide over £2,000 worth of gifts for children in both schools who otherwise may not have received any presents this Christmas.
This includes the family matching the money raised by their businesses.
Each year, the family and their businesses give back to the community and families in need. This year their focus was on their pub, The Kings Inn on the Shambles. The team raised an
amazing £900. Steph went with staff -Tasha, Emily and Kailin – on a shopping spree to buy as many gifts as possible. “We were delighted to donate to Hob Moor this year as both our
children attend the school and we have nothing but love for it so it just felt right!”
Olivia and Sarah, and Tim Jolly, Headteacher at Hob Moor Community Primary Academy, would like to say a huge thank you to the family, their staff and customers of The Kings Inn.
“The generous donation made to both schools during the Christmas season shows the true spirit of giving and community support. This act of kindness will bring so much joy to those in
need across our two schools. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those involved, these gifts will really make such a difference to many this Christmas. We’re really grateful – thank you!”
