‘Mr Dale, Thanks to you and your fantastic team at Eaton Primary for all the hard work that you have been doing over the past few weeks. I have been fortunate enough to be involved in a number of lovely events at the school recently, and it has been really exciting to see the enthusiasm and passion of staff and pupils alike.

For example, we had our first invitation to a celebration assembly recently, and we were really impressed by how the children all take such pride in their awards. It was wonderful to see the children and staff celebrate individual achievements in such a supportive way.

Welcome Wednesday has become a highlight of our week – our child shows me their work books with pride and we enjoy looking round the classroom and reading a story together.

It has been great recently to see strong management team attendance at PTA meetings, and also at the inaugural SEN meeting held this week. The collaborative approach being taken at these events is fantastic and inspires real confidence that together we can make a difference.

After what has been a very challenging time for everyone concerned, I feel that the variety of truly great things happening at the moment, really need to be celebrated.’
