We will be sharing these comments of appreciation with Alan’s family.

I am deeply saddened to hear the heartbreaking news of Mr Gardner's passing today.

I had the privilege of being taught Economics and Sociology by Mr Gardner during my time in the Sixth Form (2020 to 2022). He was an honest, inspirational, and truly brilliant teacher who had a lasting impact on my life. His passion for teaching, his encouragement, and his belief in his students inspired me to work hard in my A Levels, which helped me gain a place at a good university and ultimately led me to the career I have today. I will always be grateful for the guidance and support he gave me.

Mr Gardner also taught my younger sister last year, who is now at university. Our entire family is deeply saddened by this tragic news, and we would be grateful if you could please pass on our
sincere condolences to Mr Gardner's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this incredibly difficult time.

Mr Gardner will always remain in our thoughts and will be remembered with great respect and gratitude. His legacy will live on through the many students whose lives he touched and inspired.

We are so sorry to hear this sad news. Mr Gardner taught my daughter and she said he was a fantastic teacher.
