Inspirational staff!

We have a very talented and charitable group of staff at Guildford Grove. Every week, I hear about a range of amazing achievements that my colleagues have completed. These can range from marathons to sky diving and beyond! Our staff are very dedicated to raising money for good causes (as we see reflected amongst our pupils, parents and community) and a large number of charities have benefitted from these achievements.

Today, I was amazed to hear that Julie Smaller (our Business Manager) had completed a 41.5 mile walk across the Surrey Hills to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Trust. She started her walk at 6 am and didn’t finish until just after midnight. Unbelievably, she's back at work this morning and still able to walk! We have all enjoyed hearing about her challenge and how determined she was to keep going and finish the challenge. Well done Julie. Another great role model for us all.
