I became a teacher because I wanted to make a difference to the lives of children. This is the exact same reason I became a headteacher. As a headteacher, I am able to make a difference to the lives of more children than when I was a class teacher. In addition, I enjoy enabling the staff in school to be the ‘difference’ – it brings real joy to see them develop and apply their skills and as a result your children blossom.
I have not been able to be in school this week, as I am recovering from minor surgery during half-term (nothing to worry about). I have missed seeing the children and hearing about their half-term adventures but I have been kept updated by my incredible team. I have also had a couple of lovely emails from parents sharing how pleased they are with how their children are doing at the moment – thank you 😊.
I am truly grateful to all the staff and especially the senior leaders who this week, are doing my job as well as their own and doing so admirably. I am so proud of them, their commitment to your children and their drive to do the very best job possible in all circumstances. Thank you Team Melbourn – you are the best.
I look forward to being back in school as soon as possible. I am especially missing hot chocolate today!
