Between them, they have supported thousands of children, families and staff with kindness, patience, humour and an unwavering commitment to making our school a welcoming, organised and caring place. Their impact reaches far beyond the office door: from the reassuring smiles, to the calm voices on busy mornings, to the countless moments of help, comfort and encouragement that have shaped daily life at Seaburn Dene.

They are pictured here with the beautiful gifts generously donated by staff and the Friends of the School. Thank you to everyone for your kindness - it meant the world.

But as both of them would say, the true reward has always been your children. They are the reason these two wonderful women have given so much of themselves over so many years.

We wish Mrs Baker and Mrs Halliday every happiness in their next chapter. They will always be part of our Seaburn Dene story. 💙
