Well yesterday was my last day at Chantry School, without question the best place I have ever worked.
What an emotional day it was!
After 8 years of working at the school I expected to skip off happily waving goodbye ready to start my new adventure down under. Instead I was blindsided by the outpouring of good wishes, cards and presents, especially those made by the kids.
So I blubbed on and off pretty much all day and was unable to say a massive thank you to my colleagues.
We've been through turbulent times together but you have always kept the school a happy and safe place for the pupils. We have laughed every day (some more than others and often at things we shouldn't) and I would not have been able to even contemplate filling the head teacher's role for the last year if I had not been sure of your support.
Thank you so much, I will miss you all.
I've found your blog and so will now follow you avidly (and slightly enviously!) I didn't really get the chance to speak to you yesterday, but wanted to say you've been an inspirational colleague; what you have achieved at Chantry in such a short time puts us all to shame! You are a fantastic teacher, proven I think, by the reaction of the kids. You held Chantry together during your time as head, which couldn't have been an easy task! Personally i will miss your consistent proffessionalism and your valued advice and support. I wish you, Ian and Monty all the best for your next big adventure, with love. Becks x
