Thank you
Dear Colleagues,
As we are approaching the end to another challenging academic year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank ALL school leaders, staff, governors, children and families to congratulate everyone on all that’s been achieved. I want to share my gratitude to all staff who have worked through the ever-changing circumstances. I appreciate that the last school year has been particularly difficult due to various reasons including COVID, staffing issues, the re-commencement of Ofsted inspections and of course the return of statutory assessments and GCSE, A Level and vocational qualifications.
Despite all the challenges you have continued to keep the children and young people in Halton safe and provide a high quality education, thanks to your resilience and commitment.
You should all be proud of everything that you have achieved this year and I hope you can enjoy your summer break and look forward to returning in September.
For staff who are retiring at the end of the Summer Term, I would like to wish you all a very long, happy and healthy retirement.
Kind Regards,
Mil Vasic
