#TeamTudor
Here's a copy of some feedback we received. Do you want to join this team?
'I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for supporting me so well this year. I couldn't have come to a school that offered a more welcoming and supportive opportunity. I have never felt nervous to ask and aside from both of you, there is always someone else willing to help when needed, which not many of my friends are able to say. I have learnt so much and have made some great relationships with people and I honestly couldn't imagine being anywhere else. I feel very proud upon telling people that I am part of #TeamTudor! '
And when teachers move on to that next stage in their career...
'I have absolutely loved working at Tudor and am so grateful for all the support, encouragement and kindness I have received from yourself, Maxine, Katie and all the staff here. I feel very fortunate to have found a school so early in my career as supportive and accepting as Tudor. I have been so lucky to work with a staff full of truly amazing teachers who helped me develop my own unique teaching style. I have always felt able to be myself here and I can only hope I will be able to find another school as friendly, caring and accepting as everyone here has always been.'
We really believe the children of Tudor Primary deserve the BEST!
We are very proud of the team we have in our school. The school invests in the wider experiences of the team too and staff clearly enjoy the range of experiences that being part of Tudor can provide. Here is just one example of a recent walking tour in our capital:
Tudor is:
'Fantastically warm and welcoming’. Leaders foster positive relationships with parents and staff. Staff feel valued. They say leaders are conscious of their workload and support their well-being.' (Ofsted, December 2022)
We continue to seek ways to make things even better too. For example, since Autumn 2018, the teachers have been able to receive 'Wellbeing Time'. This opportunity allows each teacher to spend some regular time away from the classroom on an activity that can help 're-energise' them and provide a focus on themselves.
'Overwhelmingly positive feedback from the staff questionnaire...' (Ofsted)
Tudor Primary continues to demonstrate the importance of investing in the staff team. Bespoke support packages are offered (in addition to the staff training) that ensures that the each member of the team to feel enabled and ready to meet the needs of their role:
'Staff are receiving good-quality training and development to develop their professional skills. Effective support packages are designed for staff needing extra help.' (Ofsted)
We have a fantastic, committed staff who work incredibly hard- and long may that continue.
In fact, whilst we know we have the best children, we also believe we have the best staff team too!
