Really excited about a day focused on Instructional Coaching with @ambitioninstitute.bsky.social. Love this coaching approach and the tangible impact it can make on a Teacher’s pedagogy and their self- concept as a professional engaging in meaningful, focused pedagogical chats @ietrust.bsky.social

Great to meet @unleashingme.bsky.social this morning @CST

Really excited to be at the CST conference with @inspireeducation.bsky.social

Every year, around a third of GCSE pupils in England miss out on passes in English and maths. We spoke to some of the school that are quietly turning things around for the 'forgotten third'...

This idea was inspired by the work of @earlyexcellence.bsky.social recently shared at their Inspiring Leaders Conference. We're eager to see how these bags will enrich learning experiences and strengthen the home-school connection. Off to go and make more now! 😊​ @emmaturner75.bsky.social

Great to pause and reflect on the Curriculum and Pedagogy choices we make and why we make them with @emmaturner75.bsky.social today- a very thought-proving session @finhamparkmat.bsky.social

Excited to be attending and speaking at this event on Saturday 😊

🌿 The Eco Council at Whittle met with our CEO, Lois, and Head of Estates, Ben Tranter, to explore how the Trust and school can support each other through our environment strategy. Great ideas were shared - sustainability starts with teamwork! ♻️💡 #Sustainability #EcoCouncil

Well- being for me is focusing on the personal stuff that makes you tick and energises you for life and work. Running really helped me this evening as did wrestling and being silly with my daughter ❤️😀

Excited to be working @ambitioninstitute.bsky.social today on Instructional coaching @ietrust.bsky.social

Internet Safety needs to be continual, on-going work with our children to ensure we safeguard, protect & enable them to be well- equipped for their current and future lives. This is what I continue to hope for my daughter when she starts schooling
