Here is a press release from the Headteacher of John of Gaunt School, Trowbridge. It is typical of the impact that each one of the Teach Well School Gold Award winners has had on their staff and school community during the pandemic:
"The John of Gaunt School is one of only 70 [as of 20th June 2020] schools across the country to have achieved the ‘Teach Well School Gold Award’. The award, provided to schools who have taken exceptional care of the physical and mental wellbeing of their staff throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, was presented by Steve Waters, the Founder/CEO of the Teach Well Alliance. Steve said:
‘ We are delighted to present this award to The John of Gaunt School. From the moment we read the application, it was clear the school is doing all it can to look after both the physical and mental wellbeing of its staff. The school richly deserves its hard work to be recognised’.
"Since lockdown, the school has remained open to vulnerable students and students who have key workers as parents. It also recently opened its doors to Year 10 and Year 12 students.
Paul Skipp, the Headteacher said:
'The wellbeing of staff and students has always been a priority, I have made sure that I have communicated with staff almost every day since lockdown, as clear communication is so important through challenging times. Our staff have done a wonderful job, setting and marking work as well as keeping in regular communication with our students’.
As well as the serious side of schooling, John of Gaunt staff has collaborated to produce a number of encouraging group messages to students and parents, along with a staff video that even includes John Travolta making a guest appearance!
Paul Skipp said:
‘I want to thank everyone for their support at this difficult time. Our staff, parents and students have worked really well together and I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of the whole school community.’"
