Message from the Head Teacher
Well Done Joe!
Here is a message I have received from a member of the public:• I am a member of the public and commute past Royal Docks
school every morning, there is a gentleman that meets the
school kids at the gate each morning. I have noticed that your
member of staff knows every students name that walks
through the gate, not only that he chats with them and knows
there interests. There hasn’t been a day that I have walked
past and he is not there. This staff member should be
recognised in some way i.e. employee of the month. Would
you please pass this onto him and tell him he is doing a great
job. I would go up and do this myself but I thought it would be
better sending this via email. Kind Regards, Dionne Crouch
Health & Safety Advisor, London City Airport
