Delighted to welcome Willow Tree Primary School to @InclusiveMAT today! Holywell becomes Willow Tree as they join our family of 4 schools serving 1,300 pupils across Watford. Thanks to Miss Mortlock & her team for their dedication. Excited for what's ahead! 🌳✨

The education secretary is addressing trust leaders at @CSTvoice: Bridget Phillipson said that it is “not true” that all schools are helping children to “achieve and thrive”.

So proud of our team at @BFS_Watford for their nomination for Pastoral School of the Year @NAPCE. This really shows the outstanding love, care and work done by @HeadBeechfield and everyone at the school. Thank you for what you all do!
Tonight was amazing recognition for the fantastic pastoral support our whole team provides. We love our community and do everything we can to help everyone in it. We didn’t win the award but even the nomination felt fantastic! Well done Beechfield @BFS_Watford @CEOInclusiveMAT

Excited for two days at the @HFL_Education Headteacher Conference. A great open from @HFL_Carole followed by a superb keynote from @vicgoddard . One hour in and I’m already reminded just how privileged I am to work with the team I do @CTS_Watford and @inclusiveMAT 💛

At @inclusiveMAT, AI isn’t a bolt-on. It’s woven into how the trust solves real challenges, from supporting neurodiverse staff to making sure no child’s name is ever mispronounced. Read the full story: hubs.li/Q03yrghn0 @CEOInclusiveMAT

Schools can be a terrifying place for parents and families! James from @CEOInclusiveMAT understands this and recommends leading with nurture... Our Nurturing Parents, Families and Carers Summer Bundle is designed to help you with this 💥 nurtureuk.org/product/nurtur… #SummerCPD #CPD

We know that the summer holidays can be an expensive time for families. Here is a list of places where children can eat for free or £1 to lighten the load a bit. @BFS_Watford @CTS_Watford @LHS_Watford #happypeoplebuildacommunity

It was Dr Miller’s words that inspired our school promise at @LHS_Watford - “You see me, you hear me, you belong”. These are more than just words for us across the @inclusiveMAT
What an amazing achievement; Dr Paul Miller has just launched the first University Centre in the U.K. He has always been the first, the first of. So that we can see what we can be. Thank you Dr Miller. Such a privilege for @unleashing_me and I to be invited to the launch dinner tonight.

I joined @LHS_Watford as an ECT (NQT back then) in 2001 & have been involved with them, @BFS_Watford (2014) & @CTS_Watford (2016) ever since. The schools across the @inclusiveMAT truly changed my life. You don’t have to stay for 25 years but I promise you it’s worth applying!
We are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated Class Teachers to join the schools across our Trust  - either KS1 or KS2. This position is suitable for Early Career Teachers (ECTs). The deadline to apply is 27th June. #happystaffthrive mynewterm.com/jobs/16469/EDV…
