“A few weeks ago, I joined the de Stafford Sports centre gym.

 

In almost all of my visits so far, there have been a number of your male students also using the gym, sometimes in quite large groups.

 

I am compelled to write to you because this sort of situation might, on the surface, seem like it has the potential to cause disruption and be quite intimidating for others around them - but it would be more fool them to anyone who might form this initial impression because, in fact, you should be extremely proud of your students and how well they conduct themselves.  I have had the distinct pleasure of chatting to a few of them, getting updates on how their G.C.S.E exams are going, and general brief chat.

 

They have, without exception, been absolutely commendable young men - very friendly, respectful both to each other and those around them at the gym, and they are an absolute credit to themselves and to your school.  You have a cohort of extremely polite, good natured, funny, respectful and endearing young men at de Stafford, who are clearly shaping up to be wonderful young men with bright futures, and are an excellent representation of the values you obviously uphold and expect of them.

 

I hope you find it nice to know that when your students walk out of your school gates, this is the impression they are giving to the community around them.  It's noteworthy!

 

I wish them and you all the best during this exam season."

Essentially we just want to say a huge thank you to you all at de Stafford, we are really looking forward to seeing how her education progresses."
