Thanks Simon, it's always nice to receive these messages as we come to the end of another busy academic year. I hope you are doing well.

Delighted to receive this note from a student earlier today.
It's great to be in a role where you can support so many students. Particularly this group of students who are working full time whilst studying and supporting some of our most vulnerable learners. 👏
