Visitors

I'm always very proud to show visitors around our school. The children are always lovely and the classrooms so warm and welcoming. It is a treat for me and people who come to visit always leave with very positive views. Today we were visited by 43 members of staff from a school in Oslo (which is in Norway despite what Mr Duff thinks) called Mankerud. The principal, Mr Morten Sesseng, contacted me some months ago to arrange the visit after seeing our school website and hearing me talk at another school. The visitors spent the whole day with us and when they left they were full of praise for the children and the teaching that they had seen. They said that our children were a credit to us and to their parents, that they had seen some learning that they would never forget and they wished that they could reproduce our school within theirs! As you can imagine this made me feel very proud and I left school tonight feeling taller than ever!
