Dear Parents/Carers,

I am writing to inform you that I have made the very difficult decision to retire at the end of this academic year. t has been a difficult decision that I have been thinking of and discussing with my family for a number of months; I have experienced a full range of emotions, but I am now excited about the future.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my 40 plus years of teaching and leading in Solihull and during this time

I have been very lucky to meet and work with such wonderful people, not least the Valley team including pupils, staff, parents and families.

There have been a number of highlights over the past 40 years, so many to recount, with one of my proudest moments when I was awarded my MBE, which I was so very proud to accept.

I will miss so much about the school – your wonderful children who engage me every day with their amazing contributions, good humour and achievements; you, the parents who have been so supportive of our developments, and of course my outstanding Staff and Governing body.

Once again thank you for all your support.

With Best Wishes

Roberta Jocelyn Narroway MBE

Headteacher Valley Primary School
