🌟 A Huge Congratulations to Mrs Norton! 🌟

We are incredibly proud to share that our wonderful Mrs Norton, from Apple Blossom Class, has been shortlisted for the nasen Teacher of the Year Award! 💜💙

This is a truly well-deserved recognition of the dedication, care and passion that Mrs Norton brings to St Leonard’s every single day. Her commitment to supporting every child to thrive is an inspiration to us all.

Mrs Norton shared this wonderful message:

“I woke up to the most incredible surprise today! Nothing could ever beat the privilege of spending my days with the amazing children in Apple Blossom Class. Watching them grow, communicate, achieve things in their own way, and celebrating every small step together is the greatest reward I could ever ask for. I’m sure you all know how much I love each and every child in our Apple Blossom Class.”

Everyone at St Leonard’s Church of England Primary School is immensely proud of you, Mrs Norton. Congratulations on this fantastic achievement, and we wish you the very best of luck! ⭐

Did you know the Mental Health Support Team (MHST) offers support for children, young people and their families?

We’ve shared a short video introducing the MHST, explaining who they are, the support they provide, and how to access their services.

If you’re unsure about what the MHST does or how they could help your family, we encourage you to take a few minutes to watch the video and find out more about the support available for children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing. 💚
