Gerard Gallagher RIP

In Loving Memory of Gerard Gallagher


It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gerry, a beloved caretaker of Kirkby CE Primary School who touched the lives of children, staff, and the entire school community for 13 years. Gerry passed away peacefully on 30th December, surrounded by his loved ones.


Known for his unwavering dedication, kindness, and dry sense of humour, Gerry was more than just a caretaker; he was a pillar of the school. Whether it was ensuring the classrooms were ready, fixing anything in need of repair, bathing in extremely hot custard (don’t ask!) or having his head shaved for charity Gerry certainly lit up the school.


Beyond the daily tasks, Gerry was a mentor to many children, a friend to staff, and a steadfast presence who went above and beyond to ensure the school felt like a second home to all.


Gerry will be deeply missed but forever remembered for his incredible heart, unwavering kindness, dry sense of humour and lasting impact on the lives of all he encountered.


Mary his wife, daughters Louisa and Rebecca and family will take comfort in knowing he left a legacy of smiles, laughter, and community spirit.


Rest in Peace, Gerry!

Hello Class 5!

I am going to keep my first blog short and sweet.

I miss you all so, so much! I miss all of your quirky questions of a morning and even miss telling you to PICK UP YOUR COATS AND BAGS. laugh

How have you all been? Have you been doing your work packs? Are you helping at home?

I have not been feeling too well this week, but have always got out of bed and sat in the garden. I have been keeping myself busy by finding somethings for you to keep busy (Evil, I know). So, have a look at all the tabs at the tops of the page. 

I would love to see anything you have kept yourself busy doing, any art pictures/models? Have you learnt something new? Even pieces of work would be nice J I could maybe use them for my next blog.

Here is my email, so you can keep me up to date: [email protected]

(I know, you now know my first name)

Keep busy, stay home and be kind.

Love Miss Cleary.
