All Saints School News
This will be my last piece for the parish magazine as Head teacher of All Saints School, Leigh. I have learned a lot since I have had the privilege of working here. It is a very complex job and has many facets that you are not always prepared for and have to respond to in a positive way if possible.
It is certainly challenging on all fronts and as someone wisely said to me, “It is a small school, but not a small job!”
I have on my desk a small, credit card sized piece of wisdom that I will share with you:
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence
If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate
If children live with fairness they learn justice
If children live with security, they learn to have faith
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves
If children live with acceptance and friendship
they learn to find love in the world.
All Saints is a special school and I hope the children, staff, parents and governors enjoy a secure and happy future.
