Portsmouth's school superheroes thanked

This year, we asked Portsmouth to thank their school superheroes by sharing a special message with us.

We received over 700 thank you messages from across the city thanking staff in early years, primary, secondary and specialist schools.

Each school received a hamper full of goodies. Inside each hamper was a printed poster with thank you messages on. Look back at the initiative and how we thanked Portsmouth's school superheroes.
