After an incredible 28 years of dedicated service, Hillocks Primary Academy is saying a heartfelt goodbye to one of our most beloved members of staff, Dianne, as she heads into a well-earned retirement.

For nearly three decades, Dianne has been a constant source of kindness and support, overseeing the busiest time of the day as our cherished midday supervisor. By offering a smile and a helping hand, Dianne has been the friendly face many children and staff alike looked forward to seeing each day.

In her time at Hillocks, she has seen it all—new members of the midday team, changes in leadership, and countless numbers of children growing from nursery to year 6. She has not only supported the smooth running of the academy’s lunchtime routine but has also nurtured lasting friendships with both staff and extended members of the school community. Her kindness, care, and unwavering support has made a positive difference in the lives of many.

We thank you for everything, Dianne. You have truly helped make our school a better place, and we wish you nothing but happiness and relaxation in your retirement.
