Mrs Taylor acknowledged the ‘difficult and challenging’ second half of the school year with schools having to close to most pupils during lockdown.
In the video, Mrs Taylor said: “There have been some wonderful achievements, you have shown among other things; resilience, flexibility as well as embracing new ways of learning and working.
“To our children, thank you for being absolute stars.”
Jane Moore focused her message on the ‘huge’ joint effort of parents, carers, teachers, support staff, and early years’ providers, she said: “My thanks to parents and carers for showing flexibility, patience, and understanding during this difficult time and how they have supported home schooling in the best way that works for them and their families.
“We hope you enjoy your summer break and thank you.”
Plans for children to return for the next school year are still being finalised in line with national government and Public Health guidance.
