Afternoon Mrs Freeman

I just wanted to send a quick message to say how lovely this morning was. You and your staff have been incredible throughout this last year and always go the extra mile to see that our children are always well thought about and their needs always come first.

Many thanks again.

Dear Mrs Freeman, 

I wanted to show my gratitude this morning on arrival to the first day back at school!

It was so lovely to see the effort with balloons, banner and a little something for the children, to welcome and ease them back with confidence and I am sure with that to me sums up how lucky we all are to have a fantastic school! Thank you also to all the staff for the amazing support throughout this Lockdown - the courage and hard graft from everyone to keeping spirits high. A thank you to yourself with the assemblies and uplift you give to the children, this shows your dedication and commitment and drive. To all the teachers and the Reception Team for being on hand for advice. An Amazing ‘Thank You’ to Mrs Buchanan for all her hard work and dedication given to the children, for the advice and the online schooling too. To Mrs McLaren and to Mrs Farrell for their support.

Let's hope we can continue to keep going with strength.

All stay safe and well.

With the return to school approaching fast I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the support and encouragement given to us throughout this lockdown!

I was worried that the change from face to face learning to the remote learning would impact on Ella’s education a lot and never wanted her to struggle or miss out on the very valuable learning time. I have to say that I have been overwhelmed with the support I have received from the teachers, without this I believe Ella would not be thriving in the way that she is. 

With regards to her learning, she has done absolutely amazing and I am so proud of how hard she has been working.

I was also worried that I would not even compare to the teachers with helping her with her learning but the whole time I have never felt alone, if I have struggled to understand something or was unsure about anything the teachers were so quick to respond and have gone above and beyond to help me out whether they were in school or at home that week.

I can imagine how hard it has been on everyone, staff and children and parents included but again I am so grateful for that extra effort you have all put in and how your adaption to the change in learning although difficult has been to to what I believe an extremely high standard and has made Ella feel included and heard (we will actually miss those live lessons!).

I want to thank you again and we are really looking forward to seeing you in person Monday morning!!!

Have an amazing rest of the week and weekend.

Thanks again.

We just wanted to send a message to say thank you all for being so brilliant during what is surely a very difficult time. We have been so impressed and grateful for the fantastic communication, quick responses, high quality of work and resources sent home and most importantly, the level of dedication and care you have shown children and families at this time. All the personal touches, such as Mrs Freeman's story time, the cooking videos, Mr Devlin's home learning videos, the invitation to a Zoom meeting with Phoebe's new teacher, and the whole staff video have been amazing, and you have made a difficult time a lot easier to navigate. As teachers ourselves, we know how much hard work goes into all of these things. Biggin Hill Primary, you are smashing it! So grateful that our children get to go to your fabulous school.

Stay safe everyone.

Hi there,

Hope you are all well.

I just wanted to say well done and thanks for all the hard work that went into getting some of the kids back to school today and for how organised it was and for all the communication.

It was a tough decision whether to send back or not for me as it has been for others I'm sure and to be honest if we hadn't had the zoom call the other week and all the presentations and communication from you all I probably wouldn't have sent back. 

Seeing you all there this morning was wonderful and really helped as I was tearful on the way down and I could tell Jack was nervous too, but the way it was all organised before and after was amazing and Jack had a great first day back and I feel so much lighter than I did previously!

So thank you again Mr Ellis, Mrs Freeman and Miss Powell and please pass on to all the other teachers, assistants, caretakers, cleaners, reception etc for all the work that went into today. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we think you're all amazing and thank you, can't wait for George to also start in reception too!

Best wishes to you all and your all your families.

Dear Mr Ellis and all at BHPS,

I just wanted to send a quick email to thank all the staff at BHPS.

It’s so clear to see from the communications we have received from Miss Farrell and Mrs Snelling that everybody is putting in so much thought and effort into staying in touch with the children, commenting on work and generally having a presence in their ‘school day’.

I’m really grateful for everything you’re all doing, so thank you very much!

Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy whilst you continue to work! Let’s hope we can all get back to a sense of normal soon!

Kind regards

Dear Mr Ellis, Mrs Freeman and all the wonderful staff at BHPS

Myself and Harrison would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for everything you do.

Whilst Harrison hasn’t been at school for the last week I know that you have been working very hard to keep our pupils safe, cared for and positive.

We will all have to adapt to a new way of life - it feels very surreal and uncertain but I know with everything that you guys have put into place that schooling from home should be a doddle! Ha ha ;)

Thanks again, stay safe and hopefully we’ll all get together very soon for a super celebration.

Dear Mr Ellis and Mrs Freeman,

I just wanted to write to you both in the light of what’s going on, to congratulate you and all the staff on how well I think the school has dealt with this situation and the provisions you have sent home for the children today. I can only imagine the hard work and organisation that has gone in to this at what is already a stressful time for everyone. 

Having not been at the school this week I have heard lots of praise from friends and parents about how the school is dealing with things and receiving all this information this afternoon has been a relief and a godsend! 

I hope this all passes quickly and the hearsay of a September start isn’t true! But until then I really hope all the staff at BHPS stay safe and well.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Best wishes,

Claire Ruby (19 March 2020)
