My door will always be open...

Over 24 hours since the outcome and now reflecting on the result of the referendum, I feel more gutted and depressed this morning that yesterday. 

Being a Headteacher, I have the pleasure to meet, support and work with families from a range of backgrounds from a host of different countries. Seeing parents crying at the school gate yesterday worried and unsure about their future and their children's future is heartbreaking. Hopefully, their status in this country will not be changed but the damage this referendum has done in isolating and ostracizing large groups of people within their own communities is terrible!

All families from Europe and further afield will always be welcome in any school I am lucky enough to lead. I have seen first hand the benefit you bring to the community, your work ethic and determination to add to society and make communities strong. 

My door will always be open!
