Dear Parents
Due to the success of Mr Roberts’ secondment, RCT Education Department has asked him to remain in his secondment for a further academic year. This would mean that Mr Roberts would be back in School for September 2014. In the meantime, myself and Mr Llewellyn will continue in our current roles until his return.
