An excellent day at school today for Sports Day! Pupils showed great engagement, competing both on their own & as part of a team. Congratulations to all of our medal winners 🏆 👏 Thank you @PeHoustone for all of your hard work to make today a success 🙌 @advschools
One of our pupils, Reece, is raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust by running 100 miles before his 16th birthday in September! His determination & commitment is truly inspiring, let's get behind him 💚🏃♂️ @TeenageCancer @advschools justgiving.com/page/reece-mar…
Summer Sale! Our brand new series of books for primary subject leads is available to preorder ready for September. Written by highly experienced subject leaders, doing the job today, I’m confident they’ll provide crucial guidance for colleagues. bloomsbury.com/uk/series/how-…
As the school year ends, we thank all our brilliant staff for their dedication and care. A special farewell to three outstanding leaders moving on: Jonathan Callendar, Jane Herron & Natasha Jabbar You'll all be greatly missed. Wishing you the very best ahead. 🌟
This morning, all of our pupils who have had 100% attendance for the entire academic year have been invited to a tea party on the school field. Congratulations to all of those invited 👏 @advschools
The idea of ditching Teach First in favour of Serco and Capita is not just worrying, it's totally mad
This is completely bonkers on Teach First. Feels like Government commercial teams are making the decisions, and there is a risk an excellent provider disappears. Genuinely don't understand the ideology behind this: observer.co.uk/news/politics/…

Teach First get smart people into teaching. It is one route amongst a few. I've been pushing them to get back to that mission as it has been transformational. If it is watered down, we likely won't use it.
Very proud to lead another team to an outstanding Ofsted report, with an 'Outstanding' rating in PD! Huge thanks to our amazing staff & wonderful pupils for making this happen. Grateful for the incredible support from Tanya, @CathyBa60984368 and @StuartLock
