Letter to the head

[chickensaladagain]

Dd is leaving primary on Friday

She has been at the school since nursery

She has had a fantastic time, ups and downs but any issues dealt with well. She was identified g&t in nursery and has been stretched and challenged right the way through and couldn't have been better prepared for moving on to high school

If I sent a letter to the head thanking him would he think I was a complete loon?

I have a child lower down the school so will have to see him

The class teachers get gifts/cards every year but the head has been the constant and I think he deserves some recognition

Do it. You won't look like a loon at all, and it will be really appreciated.

Letters like that are always appreciated!

Do it. People are very quick to criticise but rarely commend.

It will be really appreciated and in my school would go in the ofsted file .

Definitely do!
Letters like that are hugely treasured, more than all the wine and chocolates (though a nice bottle wouldn't go amiss too).
It's especially brilliant if they can use a line or two from the letter saying how great they are in their brochures and on their website.
