Looking to the future
1st April 2022
It is hard to believe that it was only 2 years ago when we were all navigating home learning and the restrictions to our usual freedoms and choices as we waited for central Government to tell us what we could or could not do. It was just 2 years ago that we started to live with the disruption the pandemic and COVID has brought to all of our lives.
The recent pictures from Ukraine and the impact on every Ukrainian citizen puts these seemingly mild inconveniences into sharp relief. After all, what was the real impact of not having a monthly trip to the hairdressers compared to giving up everything. Although COVID has itself brought much loss and suffering to the world and indeed to our community of schools.
For many people, the theme of Easter is one of hope conquering the despair of Good Friday. Others might look to the start of Spring as a clear marker that the long winter period is over as we look to the warmth and what the lead up to summer might bring.
As we end this term, let us all look to the future with the warming sun on our backs with thanks for all that has been achieved and what opportunities the future might hold.
I wish you all a restful break and pass on my thanks to you all for everything you continue to do for our pupils and for one another.
Finally, I leave you with a link to Jack's end of term message, which focuses on our values as a group of schools and our vision of leading schools where children thrive. Upon listening to his message, it is evident that our collaborative work is taking shape and through working with the trust, our schools have much to offer in terms of teaching, learning and enrichment.
