I just wanted to express my gratitude for allowing myself back and giving me the opportunity; I really enjoyed my time and appreciate all the effort on your part. 

Please also pass along my thanks to Mr Bailey and Mr Glover as well as the other staff at St Wilfrid's. 

I knew it was a great school from when I went many years ago, but it was nice to see it again. Especially nice to see some familiar faces and be able to appreciate how much work and effort goes into maintaining that excellence.

On my two days, I was especially impressed by the students' kindness and consideration of others. Several students held the door open for me and said good morning, even though they had not seen me before. Some even going as far as to read my name and use it to the best of their ability. Although Mr Shenton-Kerin was difficult for some, it was still very much appreciated. I'm also impressed by the excellence of their work. As a scientist myself and with a love for maths, the morning maths was a pleasure; the students were very good and impressed me with their knowledge and ability. 

Thanks again for having me. I wish you all the best,"

"I would like you to know that Mr Bailey went out of his way tonight to accommodate a 'how to teach maths teaching session' as I am unable to attend the parents' session in Jan, so a huge thank you to Mr Bailey in going above and beyond to accommodate working parents"
