CONONLEY Primary School has said farewell to its headteacher Paula Hillman.

Miss Hillman, who took charge in 2012, is taking up a new position as principal of Buckingham Primary Academy, Hull, from September.

She said: "I will be very sad to leave and it has been an absolute pleasure working as headteacher at Cononley alongside a strong team of staff and very supportive parents. The best part has been watching the children grow as they have been inspired and challenged to learn."

The new acting head will be Catherine Pickles.
