We are very proud to be recognised for the work we deliver to our families. Many of our families have faced barriers within the education system and have only received negative feedback regarding their child's behaviour and attitudes. As you have reflected, the staff go above and beyond at River Tees Secondary to engage families and build trusting relationships. This can be a slow and challenging process but one that is worthwhile.

Partnership working with our families will remain a priority, and we have committed to embedding this award further within our School Development Plan. This will see our school launch a new communication platform to improve our links with families and better develop our website to make families our main stakeholder when accessing our information.

Thank you for your time and support, alongside recognising the relentless work our staff team does.
