This week, Avening Primary School will say goodbye This week, Avening Primary School will say goodbye to a brilliant Business Manager, Mrs Sollis, and wonderful Play Team member, Mrs Woodman. Serving the school for 25 and 27 years respectively, these fabulous ladies have touched the lives of so many children at Avening School, and they will both be dearly missed. A special thank you to Mrs Sollis from everyone at FOAS for all your support, the last minute requests, handling raffle tickets, mountains of tombola donations, keeping parents in the loop, and just generally being awesome. We really appreciate everything you’ve done for us. Wishing both Mrs Sollis and Mrs Woodman a very happy retirement ♥️
