She's someone who always puts the children first, she is just an amazing colleague.

is on Wednesday, 21 June 2023, celebrating people who work in schools across the country who have kept students going through the past year.

We got in touch with some friends of 鶹Լ Teach, who wanted to say their own thank yous to colleagues who have made a real difference to them.

And it’s not just teachers who are being celebrated – it’s everyone working in schools, from school leaders and teaching assistants to support staff such as lunchtime supervisors, caretakers and cleaners.

Thank you messages for colleagues

Chloe Vethamony is a KS2 and 3 teaching, learning and assessment lead, and has appeared on Bitesize Daily and 鶹Լ Teach Live Lessons. She wanted to thank her colleague, teaching assistant Mrs Allen.

Ryan Smith, a KS2 teacher who has also featured on Bitesize Daily and 鶹Լ Teach Live Lessons, nominated his whole school.

Assistant headteacher Josiah Isles, who has written articles for 鶹Լ Teach, nominated Mr Starbuck, a new music teacher at his school who he says has worked hard and become popular with both students and staff.
