Hayley Knapper is a new addition to the team at the John Kyrle High School. Hayley is the Extended Services co-ordinator for the Ross on Wye cluster and will be known to many of the pupils and their parents as she has worked as a teaching assistant at St Joseph's Primary School in the town for several years.

Although she told The Ross Gazette she will miss St Joseph's she is really looking forward to the new challenges she is facing. These include organising out of school hours activities such as breakfast clubs.

Hayley will be working in partnership with the youth service, the police, children's services, counsellors and other child care providers.
