Brilliant to finally read it in print how well my previous school did with the 2025 SATs, putting the school top of the county's list, with well above average results too. Well done everyone elystandard.co.uk/news/25716…

What a delight - brilliant day and food for thought. Great to talk strategy and operation; very useful!
One of my favourite things to do is work with a head and a school over time to support strategy development and turn this into action. A great day working down in Northampton today with a warm, welcoming and really thoughtful team.

So proud to see this come together before I leave. Looks incredible and will support the chn's learning for many years to come! Thanks Gareth from #Twenty8design
Blown away at how #Twenty8Design has helped transform our walls: this will enhance our chn's curriculum journey. Thanks to Mepal Union Chapel committee and #TescoStrongerStarts who also funded the rest.

As Headteacher, I couldn’t be prouder of our children & community for the exceptional results. These children now move on with the strong foundations, not just because of their results, but because of all the resilience, perseverance and belief that they all can achieve!

I find myself reading extracts several times, as getting the "jist" isn't going to help my retention, nor my ability to properly appreciate the meaning or message being conveyed. I owe it to the writer, and to anyone who is my audience, a better chance to share my understanding
*NEW* To read is to care. Another reflective post on why slow reading is an act of moral attention, and why it matters more than ever. Link below ⬇️
