The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thanked teachers and staff at Casterton Primary Academy in Lancashire during a video call on Wednesday
April 08, 2020 - 22:00 BST Danielle Stacey The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge delighted teachers at a Lancashire school as they thanked them for their dedication during the coronavirus crisis, in a video call on Wednesday afternoon. Prince William and Kate spoke with staff and children at Casterton Primary Academy, which is located close to Burnley General Hospital and has a high percentage of pupils whose parents are key workers.
Kate, wearing a mustard-coloured jumper, told one teacher:"Well done honestly to you and everyone who's in during this time. It must be such a relief for all the parents, who are key workers, to know that the normality is there for their children - they've got the structure and they've got a safe place for them to be, so really really well done to all of you."
One student said their mum worked for the NHS, to which William said it was"a very important job" and that they should be proud. Another pupil said that their dad was a packer in a bakery, to which William replied:"That's a very important job too, keeping everyone well fed." The Duchess said that"it must be nice making new friends," to the group.
The Cambridges also spoke with a School Project Manager from children's mental health charity, Place2Be, which has worked with schools in the Pendle Education Trust for ten years. The charity , has adapted its usual model of school-based support by providing phone 'check ins' for young people and parents of younger children where pupils are not in school.
