I had the absolute pleasure of delivering a whole-school assembly at Manor Court Primary School, and it was such a rewarding experience.

One of the most special parts of the day was being reunited with my Year 4 teacher, as well as another teacher from my primary school. It was so lovely to see them again after all these years and to thank them for the support and encouragement they gave me.

Teachers have such an important impact on our lives, so it was a real privilege to catch up with them.
