Last Friday the Staff, pupils and their families past and present attended a special Mass at the Sacred Heart Church, Glascote to say goodbye to Headteacher, Julie Collins as she leaves St Gabriels RC Primary in Belgrave. Mrs Collins joined the school in September 1996 and in her 13 years as Headteacher  she has secured a special place in the school community. The Mass was a celebration of Mrs Collin’s time spent as Headteacher and the many happy and memorable occasions shared. Mrs Collins will be greatly missed by all her colleagues and friends as well as the pupils and families of St Gabriels who all wish her every happiness for her future.

Mrs Collins leaves to take up a post with the Local Authority in a consultancy capacity and the post of Headteacher of St Gabriels will taken up by Mr John Hayes.
