WE always seem to moan about our schools but I wish to congratulate Milton Park School for the hard work it does to settle children into their first year of school.Most of us have a child who we think will find schooling hard to cope with. I thought that about my child, but Milton Park made me feel very at ease. On the second day of taking my child and trying to leave her at the classroom door, with her clinging onto my leg for dear life, I knew the only way I could do this was to let her go and walk away.It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but the teachers said I could have a cup of tea in the school and see what my child would be like in five minutes. After five minutes the teacher came and got me and I saw what my child was doing. She was playing with the other children, all laughs and plenty of smiles, so from that day on my child loves going to school even on a weekend she wants to go, and that is what makes Milton School so wonderful.MARK JONES - Via email
