At the end of this term one of the longest standing servants of our community will retire, Barbara Shorter, School Crossing Patrol has been serving the Newport community since 1990.
She first started in the role when her son was at Newport Junior School and has remained a constant over the decades ever since. Barbara has been a friendly face of the community having helped thousands of children cross the road safely over her 32 year reign. We really appreciate the years of service she has given and we are sad to see her go but we wish Barbara a long and happy retirement.
That said she will remain in her role as lunchtime supervisor at The Burton Borough School so she’s not leaving our community completely.
We are pleased to announce we are working with Telford & Wrekin Council and Newport Town Council to seek a new School Crossing Patrol. More details on this coming soon but if you would like to register your interest in the position please do drop me an email.
Mrs M
