Listed: Bracknell schools and teachers praised by parents

Teachers and educational staff have worked tirelessly to adapt and overcome the challenges and pressures of the pandemic whilst minimising the impact of lockdown on children's learning is one of their main priorities.

Earlier in the week we asked residents on the Bracknell News Facebook page if they had any schools or teachers they wanted to thank for their support during the pandemic.

We were inundated with messages for the wonderful work of school staff with people commenting that every staff member was worthy of praise for all they have managed to achieve in such difficult circumstances.

If you want to share a message about your child's school, then you can still give it a mention in the comments here, or under the story on the Bracknell News Facebook page.

Here's what parents have said about schools across Bracknell Forest:

Great Hollands Primary School

Great Hollands Primary School

Nigel Crump: "Great Hollands Primary year 4 teachers (I can only speak for them with my child there) have been doing live lessons all day every day during this lockdown which is admirable.

"t must be exhausting for them and I'm so thankful to them for doing it especially as it sounds like other schools are only doing partial live contact with their pupils. They've really been amazing and I can't give enough praise. Thanks GHPS."

Faye Winfield: "Year 1 and year 5 have been amazing, very supportive of the kids and parents. The teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure all are well catered for through zoom calls, live lessons, cooking tasks, model building, fun PE sessions etc all work has been marked by the teachers and feedback given with support when needed. Well done GHPS!"

Bridget Webb: "Great hollands primary, year 3 and 5/6 and the Sen team have gone above and beyond for our children. They have been working through it all and I wish I could show my appreciation to them as they have not only kept my children on track they have helped me stay sane."
