Every school has people who make it feel like home, and at Hillocks Primary Academy, Valerie has been that person for more than 40 years.
Valerie first joined Hillocks as a child herself, and over the decades she has become part of the school’s story in the most wonderful way. She has worked as a midday supervisor, a breakfast club supervisor and a cleaner, always bringing kindness, care and dedication to every role she has taken on.
During her time here, she has worked alongside seven head teachers. Her children attended Hillocks too, proudly following in her footsteps, and her parents also worked at the school, making it a true family tradition.
As she begins her retirement, we say goodbye to a colleague, a friend and a true part of Hillocks history, and we wish her many joyful afternoon teas and adventures.
