TINTAGEL Primary School said goodbye to headteacher Judy Gidzewicz, who took early retirement at the end of the summer term.

Judy has been headteacher at the school since January 2004, and at Delabole Primary since September 2012. She has seen Tintagel Primary through many stages, including the KS1 and office block extensions, building the children’s centre, joining the Moor and Coastal Partnership Trust, establishing the school’s St Piran’s Day Pilgrimage, and forming a partnership with Delabole School.

Most recently she has led the formation of the Creative Learning Multi-Academy Trust which comprises Tintagel and Delabole Primary Schools.

Both schools invited members of the community and past friends of the schools to join with them for an informal get together with light refreshments.

On Wednesday, July 22, Delabole Primary held their ‘coffee and cake’ gathering and Tintagel School held a cream tea in the afternoon.
