This week our Pastoral Team received this very genuine and heartfelt message of thank you from one of our ex-students who has gone on from Bushey Meads to secure a top job in the world of finance in the City of London.

It made us realise that sometimes our efforts are not always realised until after the students have left and, at the time we sometimes don’t get the appreciation we always deserve. However we know it’s always worth it in the long run! As the message states, deep down our students do appreciate the time, effort and hard work we invest in their lives…….

Dear Mrs Blowers,

Hope you are keeping well. I wanted to email you personally and just say a huge thank you to you. I know you and I did not always see eye to eye during my time at Bushey Meads however since leaving I have realised just how much you really did have my best interests at heart and, as you have said many times, school was just preparing us for our lives in the real world.

I genuinely believe that without my experiences at Bushey Meads I would not be where I am today and I can’t believe I am saying this. Now I understand why you had always told us to tuck our shirts in and to not wear trainers, or to get off our phones. Once again thank you greatly to, not only yourself, but to all the staff at Bushey Meads who had helped me over the past few years, I also wanted to apologise for being quite a bit of a pain too!
