‘big T - what you have given the QA community over these years is just priceless’
Happy retirement! 🥳💛
😭 What a send off! 😭
From PE classes, to Handball, to S2 football, to PEPAS, to all things SQA, ‘Ando’ has been a real role model right across the cluster. The amount he has given our cluster since joining us in Aug ‘18 is nothing short of amazing and will be a real loss.

From all your pals and pupils
