Customer Interviews

LORNA ANDERTON
What was your main reason for wanting to work in education?
To make a difference to the lives of young people and encourage them to recognise that education is the key to a fulfilled and successful life.
What gives you the greatest amount of satisfaction as a Headteacher?
Seeing young children develop and flourish and recognising the contribution they make now, and in the future to their community and society as a whole.
What are the biggest challenges currently facing Headteachers?
Funding, recruitment and meeting the growing demand for emotional support for families and pupils.
Why did your school adopt TAPâs social thanking platform?
To give families an opportunity to express their appreciation to teachers. It is free and personal to each family. So often teachers are at the front line for parental complaints. It is important for them to realise these are outweighed by support for their efforts and commitment. Recruiting teachers is becoming increasingly more difficult. TAP provides a way of raising the professionâs profile and value in society. It motivates the team and supports a positive ethos.
What has been the reaction to it so far?
Teachers are often overwhelmed and always uplifted by the comments. The thoughtful messages mean so much. I wish more of our lunch time controllers were signed up.
Why would you recommend TAP to other schools?
TAP is an effective and welcome addition to any schoolâs ethos and staff well-
being programme.
