‘I have to thank the Year 2 teacher for the wonderful progress my youngest child has made this year. She is truly an inspirational teacher, driving and guiding children to be the very best they can be – she is a real credit to your teaching staff. We think very highly of her and are very thankful for her support and nurturing. I have been thrilled to see my child make such brilliant progress’. Mr and Mrs B. 2018
