Join The Star in helping celebrate Sheffield schools which have gone above and beyond during lockdown

Last month, headteacher Deb Halliday received praise from parents at Athelstan Primary School for going “above and beyond” during the pandemic, ensuring pupils can access technology at home and remaining a point of contact throughout to ease any homeschooling concerns.

Now, as children prepare to return to remote learning after the February half-term break, we are asking parents who they would like to thank for their support during what has been a difficult time for many.

Has a certain teacher made the pains of homeschooling a little easier for your children? Do you think a school deserves praise for their work during lockdown?

We will be sharing messages from those who think their school is worthy of a mention to showcase the hard work being done behind the scenes.

In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a digital subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor.
