Kay-Leigh Clarke, Teacher at Park Academy, came up the idea, saying: “I suggested creating the message as it had been five weeks since I was last in school. I have been missing the everyday aspects of school life and realised if I was missing school and the children, the children would for sure be missing us.”

Every staff member played a part in creating the message.

“For many children, school is part of their daily routine and a safe place to go each day. Seeing this message reminds them how much we care and miss them all during these uncertain times,” said Kay.

Sarah Gray, headteacher at Park Academy, said: “We were really excited to complete this message for the children as we know how hard it for them at the moment. They miss their friends and their teachers - and we miss them.

“All the staff were very keen to join in with the photo and enjoyed showing what a wonderful community we have at Park Academy.”

Emma Hadley, Chief Executive of the Boston Witham Academies Federation (BWAF), said: “I am incredibly proud of how all of our academies and staff teams have pulled together and responded to the current situation.

“We have been proud to provide childcare provision for key workers in our academies and to continue to support home learning and resources for children who are still learning from home.

“We have had many wonderful responses from our pupils and their families, who have been sharing their home learning and keeping in touch - which is really important to us.

“We continue to welcome and encourage contact from any families who want to get in touch with us if there is any further support we can give at this incredibly difficult time.

“BWAF is proud to support such a brilliant and resilient Boston and Spalding area community.”
