Juliet Monaghan, Headteacher, said: “Cayton School would like to say a huge thank you to St Catherine’s Hospice for the care and support that they gave to Tracy Beswick, in the last few weeks of Tracy’s life.”

“Tracy was a much loved member of staff, she showed kindness to everyone, smiled every day and loved working with the children at school. Tracy taught hundreds of children as she was a General Teaching Assistant/Higher Level Teaching Assistant, and worked at Cayton School for over 16 years. She will be very sadly missed by everyone.”
