Hacton at Home: Headteacher's Update

Another week is done! If your household is anything like mine, the great plans we have for each new day are out the window by 10 o’clock and the chaos of isolation once again commences! And do you know what? I think that’s ok! We are living through unprecedented times which we will one day look back on and wonder why we put so much pressure on ourselves to get it right. I don’t doubt that as we come to the end of another week of home learning, you are finding the strain far greater than at the beginning as there is no substitute for face to face teaching or communication. We are however so very grateful for the way you are encouraging your children to engage with the ‘Hacton at Home’ learning materials we are providing.

Your teachers have loved being able to speak to you and catch up about your Easter break this week and we continue to look forward to your picture updates showing off your great work. Please do remember that there is always someone available in school if you need to contact a member of school staff, need some additional support or simply just a rant!
