Shelby Smal – Acting Head of Year 7

Dear Parents and Guardians of Year 7 students,

We wanted to take this opportunity to inform you that Mrs Karina Johnson, our Head of  Year 7, will be on maternity leave from Thursday 11th November and will return on Friday February 25th 2022.

Ms Shelby Smal, who has significant experience within the DBIS pastoral system, will be in post for the duration of this period in the absence of Mrs Johnson. Please contact her at [email protected] during this time with any pastoral-related questions.

To ensure a successful handover, Ms Smal has been working alongside Mrs Johnson for the past two weeks and has been working on building early relationships with the students.

Subsequently, we are confident that Ms Smal will transition successfully into the role and continue to support the students’ social and emotional wellbeing. She is excited to be leading the students through this period of their learning.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

 

Kind regards,

Karen Hartcher

Assistant Head of Secondary
