1. To whom it may concern,
I’dlike toprovideacharacterreferenceonbehalf of DebraWard.AsanNQT,straightoutof ateaching
degree, I was nervous about starting my first teaching post in September 2014. Debra offered me
position of EYFS teacher at Oasis Academy Fir Vale, and I gladly accepted the post; Debra was kind,
bubbly,andpassionateandhadabreadthof headshipexperience behindher,andthatwascleareven
from the interview stage, so I couldn’t have thought of a better person to start my career with.
Asa mentorDebrawasalwayssupportive,calmandpositive,whenchallengeswere thrownatus,she
was alwaysthere readytotackle themheadonand lookafternotonlythe children,butthe staff too.
Debra was the heart of the school and her loyalty and commitment to her staff has carried on even
nowshe hasleft,we knowthatshe willalwaysbe theretogive usadviceandsupport;havingthisfrom
someone so experienced and brilliant feels an absolute privilege to an NQT like myself. Debra has a
way of making staff feel like family, I could not have wished for a more determined, passionate,
supportive or loving Head to start off my career under. It has been an absolute pleasure and I hope
that, one day,I will have the chance to workwithher again,to thank herfor everythingshe hasdone
for me and to learn from her; she has the unique ability to make a school feel warm, caring, and
everyone feelslike theyhave theirplace andtheyare valuedas individuals, aspartof a familyunitall
working towards the same goal. With Debra, no one gets left behind and no one gets forgotten.
KindRegards,
