Obituary: Sue Nichols

Not yet confirmed

Sue Nichols passed away after a brave battle with cancer, aged 66 years. 
​

Sue joined the Advisory Service based in Minden in 1986 as a Special Needs Advisory teacher. This was followed by teaching in Akrotiri School Cyprus. New regulations following the National Curriculum necessitated a reception class to be set up for British families at BATUS in Alberta, Canada and Sue became the first British teacher for a reception class in the school. Having successfully set this up she then returned to Germany and taught in Blankenhagen School, Gütersloh. On returning to England, she joined the Advisory service in Birmingham and subsequently also in Bournemouth where she  eventually retired to be near her family. Many will remember Sue for her energy and enthusiasm not just in school but also in her  personal life. She was a great colleague, a tremendous friend and will be very sadly missed by the many who knew her.
