Peasmarsh

Thank you: Some of you more observant types (unlike me) might have noticed that the Peasmarsh Village Voice has been very quiet indeed for the past few weeks. This is because Mary has hung up the reins after a grand total of fourteen years of keeping us all up to date with news and events relating to the village. I think she deserves a massive thank you for providing this information on time for, shall we say, 728 weeks, give or take a few. That's no small achievement, meeting the Tuesday morning deadline every week for all that time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARY. Well, I am going to take up the reins, but I'm not promising the same slick service or endurance. In the meantime, if you have any news or events you want to publicise you can email them through to me on [email protected] and I will endeavour to get them into print for you on time. I'm giving you a Monday afternoon deadline (for Friday publication) to try to avoid any disappointment. I'm sure you join me in thanking Mary and sending a 'virtual' bouquet of flowers (or would she prefer a bottle of vino?) for service to our village and loads of humorous stories too. Give that keyboard a rest now Mary.

Peasmarsh School: Our lovely Peasmarsh CE Primary School has been consulting with its stakeholders - that’s parents, children, staff, the diocese and other professionals and interested parties. The consultation is about federation with Beckley CE Primary School and what that mainly means is a single governing body making decisions about both schools instead of two separate governing bodies. If you would like to know the reasons why, how it would work in practice, and the other implications please visit both schools’ websites and read about the consultation and all the questions and answers put by parents and staff of both schools so far. You still have a chance to make comments on the consultation by using the comments box in Peasmarsh school, or by emailing the governing body at [email protected] The consultation closes on 24th February – the deadline for your comments is this date at 3.30pm. Governors of each school will meet separately after this deadline to vote on the final decision.
