On Friday, with heavy hearts, we said goodbye to our very own Mr Rushton.
We came together for a special farewell service, with moving songs sung by the whole school and magnificent performances from each class. Alongside the children, we were joined by staff past and present, parents and members of the wider community.
Mr Rushton has worked at Criftins for 13 years. During this time, he has taught across both KS1 and KS2, worked as Assistant Headteacher alongside Mrs Mandy Jones and, over the last two and a half years, taken on the role of Head of School. He has brought so much joy, kindness and passion to school life, along with many a joke!
He has inspired many adults and children during his time, and leaves behind a legacy that will stay with our school for years to come.
We wish you every happiness in your retirement, Mr Rushton, and thank you for everything you have given to Criftins.
You will be missed by us all. ❤️
