Probably the most important tweet I’ll post across various platforms for a a long while. We need to champion this, listen and let children talk. I’ve experienced the impact of mental health & youth suicide with a family friend this year and the devastation it brought #papyrus

Many of us think we can’t achieve a goal, we can if it’s in smaller steps. Keep this in mind when we say we can’t do something. We can, we might need a little help along the way, we might hit a hurdle but we can overcome it.

Another great example of reading across the curriculum within Food here at Millfield @TeamMillfield #BeExceptional #literacy
Next week's academic reading is in Food & Nutrition; students will be reading an article that explores why we have such a limited vegetable palate and ways we can find to try new fruit and vegetables cheaply.
