Have you signed up to the We’re in Beta Pastoral Champions week? We’ve put together a session from Penrice Academy @celtacademies.bsky.social to share our approaches to ‘Closing the Attendance Gap’. The video is edited! 🎥 Sign up here: www.weareinbeta.community/share/go9Ico...

A great day with colleagues from CELT, West Country, and Ted Wragg. The Bridges by Tom Percival showed how books connect us, spark imagination, and give every child a voice. Just as Mia’s world changes through reading, we explored ways to ensure students feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Well done to all the stars of Mount Charles School ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ following an incredible Ofsted report! youtu.be/tpsdPBapQEQ

We're pleased to be welcoming @jonhutchinson.bsky.social @nickpointer.bsky.social @moremorrow.bsky.social @lucygambier.bsky.social & @dougobrien.bsky.social

I saw Doug and Lucy present at ResearchEd Cornwall and it was one of the best talks I’ve attended in years. Really smart thinking about implementation and change management. Absolutely steeped in the practicalities of real schools. Strong recommend.

What if we could redefine assessment? Using a precision planned curriculum to meticulously assess across a trust and inform learning. Join me and @lucygambier.bsky.social for our workshop at the Inspiring the Southwest conference next week. Keynote from the brilliant @jonhutchinson.bsky.social!

This week… Ofsted! Team Penrice shared what an exceptional school we are. I will never forget the privilege of listening to the feedback from the inspection team. Truly the proudest moment of my career. Can’t wait to share the report. A fair, open, honest and challenging process.

Brilliant to hear Doug
