“The way you have gone about the whole situation and the way you've communicated and kept in touch with the students has been brilliant. The school has gone above and beyond to ensure the children are safe. They have worked hard to implement a lateral flow testing site at school and ensured that, throughout the Christmas break, with the ever-changing government advice, that school timetables were communicated with parents - I actually don’t think that the staff must have had much of a break with the amount of work they had to put in. Thank you.”

“I am aware of how hard the school work and actually, from talking to other parents whose children are home learning with the resources, lesson plans and communication from teachers is just outstanding. My son had to self-isolate for two weeks in December and staff were checking in on his well-being. He had praise points for work he completed and clear communication from his teachers on line. In the midst of a pandemic for a school to really go above and beyond is just wonderful.”
