DERI View staff said goodbye to two long serving teachers at the end of the summer term. 

Ros Grant and Jill Preece had taught in the area for 26 and 20 years respectively.

The event was celebrated at a Ceilidh held at the King of Prussia and attended by staff past and present.

Ros Grant spent many years teaching in the nursery on the old Llwynu Infants school site and has  been a Year 1 class teacher at Deri View Primary since it opened six years ago.

Mrs Grant said she had loved her time working with the children and will miss them but is looking forward to devoting more time to her hobby of rambling and hill walking and looking forward to the  arrival of her first grandchild.

Jill Preece joined the staff at Llwynu Infants School as a literacy support teacher and continued this role at Deri View.

She has supported and  worked  with children to improve their literacy skills, enabling them to reach their full potential and also played the piano for many years at Llwynu Infants School  for assemblies and concerts and continued the role at Deri View by leading the school singing assemblies

They will both be greatly missed by children, staff and parents and everyone wishes them well for the future.
