Steve Porter’s three-year term of office comes to an end at this AGM.  We would like to thank him for his service to Micklefield during this time. Steve has been very involved in our IT programme and is a member of our IT Committee.  He has also been very involved in our maintenance projects, overseeing many of these. Steve was a Board rep on the Media Centre renovation project.  We thank him for the many hours he has given to our little school.

Steve is willing to stand for re-election for 1 more year (His daughter, Tabitha, leaves Micklefield at the end of the year) in order to ensure consistency during the change-over period of Headship and to be able to support the new Head.
