17 December 2019 weekly update

Dear Colleagues

Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year in 2020.

Thank you to all who entered our Christmas Card competition and a special thank you to my winning design, Johan from Harcourt Primary School in Folkestone.

I would like to wish you and your staff a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. As we come to the end of the decade, we can look back on the developments and progress in Kent with pride and I thank you for all the improvements achieved in 2019 and the excellent work you are doing to continue to make education better for the children and young people of Kent.

This is a time of year for some relaxation, celebration and giving with family, friends and colleagues; and time to put away the stresses and demands of work. So I hope you have an enjoyable and restful break with family and friends and look forward to working together in 2020.

Best Wishes

Matt Dunkley CBE
