Comments reported by parents from member schools based across the Staffordshire Moorlands included:
The Faber Catholic Primary School, Cotton
“Thank you, from day one of lockdown you have demonstrated a massive commitment to ensuring our children continue to get the best education in current circumstances. Well done.”
“An incredible effort yet again from all the Faber staff to ensure our children access excellent live lessons and super resources for independent tasks.”
St Giles’ Catholic Primary School, Cheadle
“Communication from the teachers via class dojo has been excellent, I cannot imagine how difficult it is to teach both children in the classroom
and online. However, they make the time to respond.
“I appreciate the pressure that all of the teaching staff are under and just want to take the opportunity to say thank you. As working parents, especially for myself working from home too, I have found the live lessons an actual god send as it’s meant I’ve been able to carry out my work too with minimal disruption. So once again thank you, St Giles.”
St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, Leek
“I think the staff have performed above expectations in challenging times. A big thank you for the hard work and dedication shown. It has made life much easier having a structured system of learning and responsive staff.”
“Communication has been great! Any queries have been answered
promptly and effectively. The quality and volume of work provided has been good. Thank you!”
St Thomas’s Catholic Primary School, Tean
“Such a fantastic job by St Thomas’ with virtually no notice! Well done and thank you!”
“I feel that all of the staff are doing a tremendous job in these difficult times. To have all the home learning and live lessons arranged for the Tuesday morning following the announcement on Monday evening was amazing. This just shows the level of dedication the staff put in.”
Painsley Catholic College, Cheadle
“Very satisfied with the quality of the online learning. In these difficult times you have risen to the challenge and I feel able to focus on my job (working
from home) in the knowledge that my daughter’s learning and progress is not suffering. Thank you.”
“It is with great sincerity that as parents we send our gratitude to all involved at school.
“The dedication and commitment is very much appreciated and we are so grateful that our children can continue with a high standard of education. Saying ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem to fulfil what we would like to convey.
“You are all working tirelessly for the next generation. Stay safe and keep well. Thank you.
St Filumena’s Catholic Primary School, Caverswall
“Thank you, everyone, for your hard work in these stressful times, home learning and routine is essential in maintaining the children’s mental health.”
