“I have never experienced anything as uplifting and life affirming as last night.
I have never seen a group of young people of whom every single one is highly gifted in some extraordinary way. I have never seen anywhere else a group of teachers and staff so thoroughly committed both individually and collectively, to the growth and wellbeing of the children in their care.
I have never seen such a unanimously committed group of parents as supportive of the school as it is of them. I have never seen anything like this in any walk of life, let alone a primary school.
I knew last night would be really good, though I never imagined in my wildest dreams it would be so good. I was taken completely by surprise. I cry at the movies….you can fill in the dots yourself. If anyone can do anything to change the world it is the young people like ours, taught at places like St Anne’s.
I have been on this earth for over 70 years and I never imagined that “never” could be such a powerful word for optimism and hope. St. Anne’s might be a small school, but it has a heart the size of the universe."
