‘You’re a hero in my eyes, and I’ll miss you’ - the letters pupils write to their teachers

Finally! The last day of term before the six-week holidays. Teachers are knackered, pupils are knackered (at Tes, we’re a bit knackered) after the 2016-17 school year.

It’s been a chaotic, confusing and stressful year for everyone. But, as every teacher knows, there may be low points, but there are also incredible highs. And it’s these golden moments in the school day that make the job so worth it.

We think you lot deserve a treat after this year - on Monday we launched a competition asking all school staff to share their #MagicMoment for a chance to win a spa break experience for two.

And the moments didn’t disappoint: they’re heart-warming, funny and inspirational.

‘Happy tears’

The children’s letters - written in adorable, sometimes almost unintelligible, scrawl - are particularly special.
