As with any school year, we are always sad to say goodbye to our leavers and this year we will be saying goodbye to some members of staff too.

Miss Moore (Nursery) will be leaving us to look after her family and we hope to see her in school on supply throughout the year. Mrs Parkes (formerly Miss Russell) has just started to her maternity leave last week.

Miss Lamputt will also be moving on to Woodlands School. Mrs Bell will be retiring after 44 years at Chapel Fields Infants, Chapel Fields Juniors and Olton Primary - what an amazing achievement!

Miss Ashington will be leaving us to move to Oak Cottage and Mr Morgan will be relocating to Bristol. Miss Khanum and Mrs Pankhania who support children in class will also be moving on as will Ms Lake and Miss Reynolds who are two of our playworkers in Orchards/Fielders.

We would like to thank our staff leavers for all of their dedication and hard work in supporting so may children during their time in school and wish them much happiness and success for the future.

Best wishes, 

Mr Chamberlain and the Team at Olton

Happy Retirement Mrs Bell & Thank You for 44 Years of Teaching!

It is hard to believe that today we will be saying a fond farewell to Mrs Bell, who will be retiring from teaching after dedicating 44 years to the school - what an amazing achievement!

Mrs Bell started her career at Chapel Field Infant school in 1978, then moved across to Chapel Field Primary in 1980 when the schools joined together, teaching Years 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. When Olton Primary was launched in 2018, Mrs Bell was proud to be part of all three schools which have been on the site and it was fitting that Mrs Bell should have a classroom in the new block when it opened in November last year.

Mrs Bell is proud to have taught children, their parents and also some of our school staff during this time. She is a much loved and respected member of our school team and has also mentored and provided invaluable support to staff over the years.

Amongst her many achievements as an English teacher, a member of the Senior Leadership Team, Mrs Bell has also celebrated diversity through her EAL work and helped Chapel Fields Junior become the first school in the borough to achieve the Stonewall Champion Bronze award and contributed to a variety of sustainable school initiatives.

We are sure you will join us all in wishing Mrs Bell a very happy retirement and thank Mrs Bell for her dedication and commitment in teaching so many people in our community for the past 44 years! 

Best wishes,

Mr Chamberlain and the Team at Olton
