As I sit and reflect on the last few days, I'm struggling to find the words to express just how truly grateful and humbled I am.

To every parent, child, colleague and friend who has been part of my journey over the years... thank you. 🦋🦋

To the families of my wonderful Year 6 class, 2026- thank you for making my final day so incredibly special. Your generosity, kindness, beautiful cards and thoughtful gifts completely overwhelmed me. I will treasure every single one.

To the parents and children I have been fortunate enough to teach over the years, thank you for taking the time to send such heartfelt messages. Reading your memories, kind words and well wishes has been both humbling and emotional. Knowing that, even years later, you remembered me and reached out means more than I can ever say.

Over the week, there was so much I wanted to say, but my emotions simply got the better of me. I hope you all know how much your support, encouragement and kindness have meant throughout my career.

People often say teachers shape children's lives, but I truly believe the opposite is just as true. Every class I have taught has left its own mark on me. Every child has taught me something; every family has trusted me with what matters most to them, and for that I will always be incredibly grateful.

To every child who has walked through my classroom door over the years—thank you for the laughter, the questions, the funny moments, the challenges, the achievements and the memories. You have all played a part in making my career so rewarding, and I hope you know just how proud I have been to be your teacher.

To every parent, thank you for your trust, your support and your partnership. Your children are a credit to you, and it has been an absolute privilege to watch so many of them grow into the amazing young people they are today.

As one chapter closes and another begins, I leave with a heart full of gratitude and memories that I will carry with me forever.

Thank you, Washacre.

Thank you for the friendships.
Thank you for the laughter.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for allowing me the privilege of doing a job that I have loved for so many years.

And finally, to every child—past, present and future...

Keep believing in yourselves.
Keep making people smile.
Keep being wonderfully you.

And above all else...

🦋Always choose kind. 🦋

There are some things that are easier to say in a video than they are in the moment.
Every child has left their own mark on our classroom. They've filled it with laughter, kindness, determination, friendship and countless moments that we'll always remember. It's those little moments—the ones that often go unnoticed—that become the memories you treasure most.
Our hope is that, years from now, they'll watch this again and remember just how special they were, how much they were believed in, and how capable they are of achieving anything they set their minds to.
To the Class of 2026... thank you for letting us be part of your story. Watching you grow has been one of the greatest privileges.

Keep laughing.
Keep dreaming.
Keep believing in yourselves.
And, as you all know...
Always choose kind. 🦋
Boom chicka boom! 🦋

What an unforgettable two years 🤍

It's hard to believe it's time to say goodbye to such a special Year 2/3 class. Watching you all grow in confidence, kindness and character has been the greatest privilege, and we’ll miss every single one of you.

Thank you to all our wonderful parents and carers for your incredibly kind cards, gifts and support. On behalf of Miss Unsworth and Miss Ellis thank you so much.

We give you back your children a little bit taller, a little bit wiser and with hearts a little bit fuller than when they arrived.

Once our class, always our class. Love you, minions ✨🤍

See you in September 👋🏼

Reception have had a fun last day celebrating their hard work, throughout the year. We’ve had dance parties, a toy picnic and our own class, celebration assembly. The children have enjoyed playing with the balloons, and their toys, with their friends, and we have said goodbye to our amazing year 6’s.

From all of the Reception staff, thank you for a fantastic year! We have made wonderful memories and we will miss having you in our class. We will always be here to support you but we know you will have lots of fun in year 1, and we are excited to see your achievements. Have a fabulous holiday, stay safe, and we will see you in September.
