Dear Parents/Carers                                                   

We are pleased to announce that Miss Zoe Hother has been appointed to the post of Foundation Phase teacher at Ysgol Craig y Don. She will be teaching dosbarth Conwy in year two where a vacancy existed following the retirement of Mrs Bethan Jones in the summer. We look forward to welcoming Miss Hother to the team after half term.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Joanna Smith for all her hard work and commitment in fulfilling the role since the retirement of Mrs Jones.
