My DD is in Year 11 and so her time in school ended abruptly in March. She has had great support throughout her time at school and was upset she didn't really get to say thank you and goodbye to her teachers. So I helped her arrange for some boxes of chocolates to be delivered to school for all the teachers to share.
A couple of days later she sent an email to the two deputy heads just to check they had arrived, but she hasn't received a reply from either.
DD is now worried maybe she shouldn't have sent the chocolates. We think they arrived safely as I received an email confirmation from the online retailer.
Just wanted to check that teachers are allowed the accept gifts like this ?
I'm hoping the Deputy Heads were both very busy at the end of term and just forgot to reply, but I'm a bit disappointed neither took the time to reply to thank my DD and confirm they had received the chocolates even if they felt the gift was inappropriate.
