STAFF and pupils at Cherry Garden Primary said goodbye and thank you to Sharon Godfrey, who retired at Easter after 28 years at the school.
Mrs G, as she is fondly known, initially worked as a teaching assistant, where she supported children through interventions. At this time she was well known for her work with Chip the monkey, who the children adored.
Over time, Mrs G’s role changed, and she started working in the school office as school business manager then more recently senior administrator.
Deputy head Vicki May said: “Mrs Godfrey has been a welcoming face to everyone at Cherry Garden over her 28 years at the school, and has provided invaluable support to staff and families alike. She has always gone ‘above and beyond’ in her roles, both in the classroom and in the school office, and is well known in the school community for her delicious cakes, as well as her knowledge of the school.”
