At the worst of times often the best is shown by people around us. This week a parent of one of our Year 11 students (who happens to be a part time teacher of French with a PGCE and 25 years experience) offered to help with the supervision of any children on the school site as a volunteer. In the end we didn’t need to take up her kind offer as pupil numbers have been much less than anticipated, but the genuine offer was nevertheless gratefully received and continues to strengthen our belief in the kindness of humanity.
