Lynda Aplin retired as Head Teacher of Chidham Primary School at the end of this summer term. Lynda had been Head Teacher for sixteen years. In that time Lynda made Chidham school hugely successful, with significant improvements to the school buildings and facilities, and a sharp increase in the number of pupils and the number wanting to attend the school. She also worked very well with both the church and the community. Chidham school is both a focus for and strongly supported by the community.
We wish her well in her retirement. |
A new Head Teacher has been appointed and she will start from the beginning of 2011. For the autumn term the school will be run with the help of a deputy head seconded to Chidham. |

Spoof News section |
(or why you should not believe everything you read on the internet)
What is this word spoof? It has been defined as
1 Nonsense; tomfoolery.
2 A hoax.
3 A gentle satirical imitation; a light parody.
4 The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
But which is it? Tricky, huh?
If you have a Spoof News Scoop, please send it to us, and we will do our best to include it today, tomorrow, sometime or ......well it depends on our lawyers, who we pay handsomely for their 'I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole' advice. |

Currently there is not a lot of spoof news. Sometimes there just isn't any news, but it doesn't stop the BBC from filling a half hour slot at 1pm with no news and repeating the 'no news' every hour on the hour. Here at Chidham and Hambrook, we tell it like it is.
However, we promise that just as soon as one of us gets round to writing some news, we will let you have it, up to the minute, just as its breaking, raw, unvarnished, cliche free, and without any attempt to hide the earth shattering implications for the local community. |
Disappointed? |
