It is with deepest regret that we must announce that yesterday, Thursday 20th January 2022, Paul Hitch our Premises Manager suffered a suspected cardiac arrest whilst at school and despite efforts from paramedics, sadly passed away.

 

This has been a huge shock to the whole school community. Mr Paul Hitch was a much loved, valued and respected member of Downderry and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paul’s immediate family and to all of those who knew him.

 

We are working closely with the Local Authority to provide support to staff and pupils. More details on this will follow shortly.

 

Thank you for your support during this difficult period. Yours sincerely
