Story: Zabeda Hussain
Paul Hopkinson retired at Christmas after over six years as a Headteacher at Pye Bank CE Primary School. Paul considered it a bonus in his career and regarded it as a privilege to lead in this community.
He always tackled all challenges with optimism, resilience and graciousness – STILL loving the teaching profession and being a staunch advocate for this as a career, believing in children and so valuing those who give their all for those children.
Paul was highly regarded by all at Pye Bank School, children, staff, parents and the community and will be greatly missed.
Our MP, David Blunkett, sent this message:
“My very best wishes for a well deserved retirement and a rest from the slings and arrows.There can be no greater challenge than heading a school with such diversity, multiple and competing pressures. Taking this on is a measure of Paul's commitment and service. Thank you for this and all you have done. May all go well with you for your future.”
