Testimonials

Thank you for everything you do for our children. My son told me last Sunday while we were walking, “Mum, the teachers at Kevic do more than they should, they help and support us in everything, they really care about us.” At these words, I thought, wow, it’s incredible, we chose the right school, thank you so much to all ❤️

Dear J, From the family who came into your office two years ago broken and lost. A huge thank you for helping us navigate this SEN journey and piece ourselves back together. The emails, visits, phone calls and meetings are just the beginning of what you have done to help us. You have gone above and beyond to share advice and guidance and have been the rock we needed. We appreciate you more than you know.

Mrs J, I would like to send my thanks to you for being an absolutely amazing teaching assistant. I am thankful because you have always helped when needed and I appreciate that you have taken the time to help people to the best possible extent. I am also fascinated by your incredibly general knowledge about everything, it is very broad.

Dear Mr M, I just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you’ve done for me. You’ve been such an important part of my time at school — always there to guide, support, and encourage me. Thank you for teaching me, not just in lessons, but in life. You’ve helped me grow in confidence, stay focused, and believe in myself even when things felt tough. Your patience, kindness, and dedication have made a real difference, and I’m truly grateful. I’ll carry what I’ve learned from you into whatever comes next. Thank you for being such a great tutor.

A massive thank you for following your instincts and pushing for M’s dyslexia diagnosis! He is achieving above and beyond what we thought he could achieve! The change in him is great to see and his confidence has grown immensely!

Parent

Dear Mr L, I just want to say thank you for everything you do. Your support, kindness, and dedication to teaching (and especially our son) is appreciated more than you know. You have patience, understanding and empathy in strides and I hope that you realise just how amazing you are. This past year has been tough. Navigating a sen child and their emotions and behaviours has been fraught with uncertainty, sleepless nights, worries about the future but I can honestly say that I know he is safe and cared for in your class and that you have his best interests at heart. Not many teachers spend their evenings, sometimes consecutive evenings, on the phone to parents supporting them, listening to them, and working with us to improve welfare. You treat every child as an individual and tailor your teaching accordingly. Given the size of classes and your very busy schedule this is a remarkable feat. The fact that the children clearly love your kind and calm nature is a credit to you and your ethos. Best wishes and sincere thanks A very happy parent.

a grateful parent

Hi sir, Out of all the amazing teachers we have, you are especially amazing. Your level of understanding and passion for maths is inspirational. I know that we all appreciate how much effort you put into helping us, and how much effort you put into making maths fun and engaging. Thank you so much for everything.

Pupil

Mrs H! You’re like a wonderful glitter bomb who brings sparkling, shining vibes every time you walk into a room! Even on the most boring or depressing days, just seeing you and talking to you instantly makes me feel happier. Thank you so much for always being there for me, believing in me, and giving me all the encouragement and confidence I needed to do well. I honestly couldn’t have done it without you. Your nurturing, kind, and empathetic personality makes me — and everyone else — feel so comfortable, and it turns every lesson into something fun and enjoyable. You’re so much more than a teacher. You’re a mentor, a confidante, and the spirit that lifts every student up. I know there will never be another teacher quite like you, so I’m going to appreciate every lesson while I can. Thank you for making such a challenging subject feel fun and enjoyable. Thank you so much! EV

You’ve been such a huge help, and I’m really grateful for all your support and kindness. I also really appreciated how you were there for me during the harder times. Whether it was a quick chat after a rough day or just listening when I needed it, it really helped. That kind of support means a lot so thank you for being so fab! M

Your support and encouragement have truly changed my perspective on my friendships and my wellbeing, and I’m so grateful for the extra time you’ve spent helping me grow.

A student

Thanks a lot T, really appreciate everything you’ve done for me. You’ve honestly been a great teacher but also someone who feels more like a mate always chill, always up for a laugh, and never making things feel too serious. I’ve learnt loads from you, not just about IT but also from the life lessons you dropped now and then to keep us on track. You’ve been really helpful in your teaching and made lessons way more enjoyable and memorable. Honestly grateful for the support, and keep smashing it because you’ve got a proper impact on your students, and we all see it even if we don’t always say it.

FE Lecturer

Miss G, Thank you for such an incredible year! It has been a joy to see your passion for the arts on display every day at WMG. Balancing the delivery of the KS4 and KS5 Art curriculum while providing such strong support to the Engineering team through Engineering Design is a massive achievement. You are a fantastic role model, showing our students that creativity and engineering go hand-in-hand. Your energy and enthusiasm are felt by everyone in the building—staff and students alike. We are so lucky to have you on the team!

A colleague

Mr B you are such a brilliant Headmaster. You can not do enough for every child at our school. We can see the impact you have had on the school over the last 8 years  but it’s harder to quantify the impact you have had on all the children that you love, cherish and support. You have brought a difference to the meaning of the phrase “educate a child” by ensuring that it’s not just about scores or exam results but by involving as many children as possible in team sports, creating role models, via “The Buddy System”, helping in the local community with “Service Awards”, getting all the children involved with “Tough Mudder” and using the running track to help fitness/health and team spirit.

Senior Leadership Team

Dear Mr G, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the incredible support you show beyond the classroom. Your commitment to your students truly goes above and beyond and it does not go unnoticed. It meant so much to my daughter—and to us as a family—that you took the time to attend her football match. Your presence and encouragement outside of school made her feel valued and supported and it had a real impact on her confidence and motivation. Teachers like you make a lasting difference, not only academically but personally as well. We are extremely grateful for the care, time, and dedication you invest in your students, both in and out of school. Thank you once again for everything you do. Kind regards, CH

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the help and support you’ve given me in maths. Your patience, encouragement, and dedication have made such a huge difference for my GCSE maths. You have helped me not just in my understanding of the subject, but in the confidence I now have when approaching it. I’m genuinely grateful for everything you’ve done. You’ve not only helped me improve my skills but also inspired me to keep pushing myself and enjoy learning A level maths. Thank you for believing in me and for being such a brilliant teacher.

Miss thank you for always being such a bright constant at school that I know I can trust with anything. Thank you for helping me in lesson all the time and always being so amazing at your job.

Secondary School

Mr B, Thank you for the unfaltering commitment, dedication and support you give the students to be the best mathematicians they can be. That you always go the extra mile is noticed and very much appreciated. You are our number one teacher, not least for your patience and understanding of pupils who may be struggling for all manor of reasons, but everything you do behind the scenes too to help pupils achieve their best. Be it the uploading of lessons to teams so that pupils who were not in class can catch up, the morning support sessions you have offered and run, the weekly (even daily!) after school revision and catch up sessions for Y11’s, or the regular phone calls home to update parents on their children’s target areas or up and coming (or missed!) homework, your dedication, commitment and support does not go unnoticed, and for that we want to thank you very, very much. You are our #1.

Mrs C, you are incredible. You are a true champion for our young people, you care so deeply and are so intuitive to what they need that you make a huge difference to them and their families. Your advice and guidance to families and young people is incredibly valuable and you always manage to say exactly what is needed, even if you sometimes think it is hard to hear! The difference you have made on so many disadvantaged children can not be measured. You are the most supportive colleague and I have learnt so much from you even if you can’t see it. Our young people have the best advocate that anyone could ask for Thank you

Colleague

To Mr S, Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I honestly don’t think I’d still be in college if it wasn’t for you. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and that’s changed everything. Because of you, I actually have a goal in life now and that means so much to me. You’ve made such a big difference in my life and I’ll never forget it. Thank you for never giving up on me. H. 🫶

To Mrs Wh, Thank you for being such a wonderful and supportive teacher!

Dear Ms F,  You taught my daughter A last year, and you were an absolutely inspirational teacher. You brought learning to life and make it fun, exciting and challenging all in one. Every now and then an exceptional teacher comes along, one you remember for the rest of your lives and you are that one for A! She quotes you all the time and misses having you as her teacher. You made the whole class shine, always having time for each child and finding ways for them to grow and develop into the confident class they have become. Thank you for being such a wonderful, kind, fun and energetic teacher who has inspired so many.

Parent

Before I entered your classroom, I didn’t realize how fascinating the natural world really is.  Your passion for the subject is contagious, and I especially loved the way you explained vaccines.
