“I think it has also helped that I was at the school before becoming headteacher.”
The end of her first day saw the country put back into a national coronavirus lockdown – including the majority of pupils resuming a home-schooling programme.
Mrs Tyzack said: “I had a great relationship with staff. Since we came back in January, they have constantly gone above and beyond to provide the best home-schooling programme as possible, alongside our support of pupils still attending school.
“The parents have been really supportive since I started as headteacher and they really appreciate what we are doing.
“The school has a fantastic family feel and the children are wonderful. They all care for each other and we champion every child, every day.”
Wickhambrook Primary Academy is part of the Unity Schools Partnership.
