National Thank a Teacher Day 2024
Dear Teachers and Support Staff,
Wednesday 19th June is National Thank A Teacher Day, and on behalf of Worcestershire Children First and Worcestershire County Council, I want to take a moment to personally thank each and every one of you.
The enthusiasm, care, support and commitment that you demonstrate on a daily basis is greatly appreciated. I frequently visit schools and settings in Worcestershire and speak with education leaders across the sector and hear about the positive impact that you make on the lives of our children and young people to provide them with the best start in life and preparation for each stage to adulthood.
We have seen some promising outcomes for our children and schools and this is thanks to our dedicated teachers and support staff working in schools. We know we need to make a particular effort to focus on children who experience disadvantage and to support their voices to be heard and to ensure they have a great experience in education.
I would encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect and thank teachers or education staff they know have played an important role in helping to shape the future of children and young people.
Thank you all for your hard work, dedication, and the positive impact you make on the lives of our children and young people every day.
Thank you.
Sarah Wilkins
Director for Education, Early Years, Inclusion and Place Planning
