Penarth school celebrates teaching heroes for Teacher Appreciation Week WESTBOURNE School in Penarth is celebrating its outstanding teaching staff, inspired by Teacher Appreciation Week 2021. The school, which has recently reopened its doors following the national school closures, has been applauded by parents for its handling of the pandemic and the focus placed throughout lockdown on pupil safety and wellbeing. This month sees students, parents and friends of the school, in the local community and further afield, come together to pay tribute to Westbourne’s teaching heroes. These are teachers who routinely go above and beyond their normal teaching duties – including providing unprecedented levels of support to pupils during the pandemic, both academically and pastorally; initiating new ways of thinking and learning during lockdown to help pupils thrive; and participating in initiatives outside school to help those in need in the wider community.
