St. Cuthbert's Primary School Seaham
Sad Announcement
Dear parents/carers,
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that this morning, Mrs Teresa Eadsforth, a highly respected and much-loved member of our teaching staff has died this morning. She had become increasingly poorly over the last few days in hospital and in the end died peacefully, with her family at her side.
The children have been told, in an age-appropriate way, of her death this afternoon in their own classrooms and, as anticipated, a number of them are experiencing great sadness. We have given the pupils time to reflect and talk and will continue to support pupils as they come to terms with her loss.
On behalf of our school family and community, I have expressed our sympathy to Mrs Eadsforth’s family.
Mrs Eadsforth had been part of our school family for over 25 years and I know that many of our parents were taught by her as children. I hope in the weeks to come we will find an appropriate way to celebrate the life that she had with us here at our school, together with the significant contribution she has made and I know our strong community will support each other.
Thank you in advance for your support and understanding as our children and staff come to terms with this sudden and unexpected loss. Please keep Mrs Eadsforth and her family and friends in your prayers.
With best wishes,
Mrs N. Noble
