Good afternoon,

Time is running out if you'd like to say thank you to a teacher who inspired or supported your child.

This last school year has been incredibly challenging for everyone, with teachers going over and above the call of duty to keep schools open for those who had to continue working during the many lockdowns, to run online classes and adapt their lessons and classrooms to meet covid regulations.

Despite all this uncertainty and changes, they have still managed to educate and inspire their students.

So, with the school year coming to an end, we want to give you the opportunity to tell the world how special your child’s teacher, teaching assistant, school helper or college lecturer is.

You have the chance to send the person who has helped or inspired them a public message of thanks that the whole world can see.

You may want to thank the class teacher who has worked miracles to continue providing high quality education in these tough times.

Or perhaps there is a specialist who has worked with your child and deserves that extra bit of recognition.

All you need to do is fill in the form on our website and we will do the rest.

Just tell us your message in 50 words or less, who it is for, where they work and who it is from.

Please ensure you use full names, not nicknames. We will also need your contact details. We will not be able to publish any message sent without this information.

Once we have the messages, we will then publish them near the end of term.

The deadline is this Friday (July 9), so, don’t miss this chance to say a public thank you as our teachers and lecturers prepare for a well-earned summer break.

Take care and here is the day's news.
