After many years of teaching at Byron wood, Mr. Elgy, Y6 teacher is retiring. He has been a great asset to the school and has taught an outstanding amount of people in every generation.
In 1976, he qualified to be a teacher and then got a teaching job at Bluestone Middle School. He taught there for ten years and, in 1986, he came to work in Byron Wood, which was then known as Burngreave Middle School, as a Deputy Head Teacher. In 2004, he decided to become a Y6 teacher.
Since he started teaching at this school, he has noticed how much the school has changed and improved over the years, For example, at first there were only 5 classes in the whole school but now there are 15.
Also, only pupils from the ages of 8 to 12 were allowed to attend the school when it was Burngreave Middle School.
His experience throughout teaching has taught him a lot. He feels very lucky to have had the chance to teach at this school. He will definitely be missed by everyone.
