Thoughts
At a juncture in my career, I thought today about something Mr Bliss said to me back in Year 6, in about 2003. I thought I’d give his name a google and see where his career took him. I was very saddened to read of his death. I remember year 6 as a time of curiosity and learning, under Mr Bliss’s leadership. He directed our school play, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which we loved doing. He helped us sort out our minor friendship disputes with a no-nonsense approach, patience and kindness. I also remember him not batting an eyelid when I asked him the meaning of a rude word. I used to look forward to his feedback on my written work. All year he made me feel that I could do things and I will hold onto his belief in me as I ponder the next steps in my life, 20 years later. All the best to his family, who I’m sure are rightly incredibly proud of his legacy. I wish I had googled his name in time to tell him personally what a brilliant teacher he had been and what an impact he has had on my life.

Lovely Jon was a port in the storm. He was unfailingly calm and always kind. Jon loved a giggle. I know how much he will be missed. Xx

Jon was that rare person - kind, generous, gentle and joyful. He managed to combine both peacefulness and playfulness in equal measure. A most lovely man
