Who saved our Archives? What do our office staff do?

Mrs Gibbs has worked at Paganel Primary School since the school changed from being two separate schools to one, and helped saved our earliest archives from literally being thrown away.

Where to from Paganel?

I asked our Year 6 Archive After-school club members three questions about what they want to do, where they want to live and a favourite moment or advice for people starting Paganel.  Here’s what they said:

Teaching – that’s the life for me!

Mrs Jackson explains about her last job, teaching on a boat.  There were different challenges to teaching – often there was a wider age range – and returning back to teaching in the UK after a period of time a lot of things had changed, or was new, like phonics.

Teaching – Married in the job

Mrs Lovell explains about her favourite moment at Paganel Primary School when she was married by the Headteacher.

What it’s like being a Teaching Assistant
