With Christmas fast approaching we are all more mindful than ever of the effects of poverty on the lives of many of the families we work with and the pressure many families feel to show their appreciation to staff in the school through gifts and tokens of appreciation.<\/p>\n

Last year the BBC ran a feature about this with the simple message that thank you is enough<\/strong>.\u00a0We want to share this message with you again this year to reassure any parents that are worried about affording a gift\u00a0for a teacher\u00a0in the run up to the Christmas break.<\/p>\n

I also want to reassure you that there is no ban on bringing gifts to teachers, but that a\u00a0thank you, a card\u00a0and even\u00a0just the thought behind these small gestures, is more than enough for\u00a0us as a staff.<\/p>\n

Wishing you all the best this festive season,<\/p>\n
