Pinewood Head Teacher Retires


Cllr Andy Mann was pleased to be able to attend the leaving picnic of Mrs Hazel Boutel, the Head Teacher of Pinewood Primary School. Hazel has decided to take the opportunity to retire and spend more time with her family.

As a former pupil and now a school Governor Cllr Mann said “It was great to be at Pinewood School again, although the occasion was a sad one, as Hazel was leaving, it was also a happy one as the children and staff had put a lot of effort into making it a day to remember”.

The 200 plus children joined Mrs Boutel on the school fields, with games and food for all. Mrs Boutel’s time was celebrated by the release of nine balloons, one for each year that she was head teacher. The children then performed a song they had written for her.


Cllr Mann said “I would like to say a big thank you to Hazel for all she has done at Pinewood, she has truly moved the school on and helped put it back on the map again, I would like to wish her all the luck in the future”.
