Belmont Primary Belmont’ s Headteacher Verity Coates has left the school after 21 years’ service. Deputy Head Teacher Mr Martin will take over as Acting Headteacher until a replacement is appointed. Verity said of her time at Belmont,“ It has been a real privilege to see so many children right through the school, and often to be given a glimpse of who they’ ve become years down the line. A former pupil reintroduced himself to me as a new parent on the Reception induction morning, so I daresay it really is time to go!”

William Hogarth Primary William Hogarth’ s Headteacher, Mrs Driscoll, has left the school after 16 years. To celebrate her special contribution, a whole school trip to Bournemouth beach was organised. The school welcome Avril Stockley, the new Head, in September. This summer, the children were presented with The Chiswick Horticultural and Allotments Society Silver Rose Bowl for their contribution to gardening at school.

St Mary’ s RC Primary A new Executive Headteacher, Ms Joan Harte, has been appointed
3 for St Mary’ s. She will run two Catholic primary schools: St Mary’ s Chiswick and St Mary’ s North Kensington, where she is currently Head. The move to an Executive Head model was one that was suggested for the school by the Diocese of Westminster as it’ s a model that has provided very strong results for a number of schools, particularly as schools move towards becoming part of Catholic Academy Trusts.
Strand on the Green Infant, Nursery and Junior The recently completed Swan Centre for children with a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition( ASC) at Strand on the Green schools welcomed a Cockapoo therapy dog called Otis who will be involved in therapy sessions during targeted interventions. Otis lives with Becky, Head of the centre and travels with her to school daily.
