I was reminded of this on the way home from our awards evening tonight. We don’t always get it right but we will always strive to create a space where students can thrive and belong.
The Music Department provides so much more than just a bit of entertainment. It provides a form of learning unparalleled in its benefit, a sense of belonging and comfort so vital in today’s world, and a unique means of connection that brings the whole school community together.

Last time I was @AbbeydaleHamlet I was doing my #PGCE @BGULincoln in 1992! It’s still incredibly inspiring - definitely needs to be a school trip @BleasbyPrimary !

@thosethatcan This petition is calling for an inquiry into the Ofsted inspection of Caversham Primary School, the experience of which drove Ruth Perry to take her own life, also a review of the wording of the actual report which references her death. chng.it/fwcBJjgF

A very enjoyable cabaret performance from @MinsterMusicDpt - such a lot of talent and confidence. And they did it all themselves!

Thank you @MinsterMusicDpt for a really enjoyable and useful @MinsterLA Music Network yesterday. I came away with lots of ideas. (And we started our staff meeting with a song 😊)
What a great show and what a great experience for the students. Thank you Michelle and team!
Today our students had their final rehearsal before we head down to London tomorrow where they will be performing on Stage in the West End. #StagecoachSouthwell #TeamSouthwell #Makingmemories #Performingarts #DanceSingAct #Creativecourageforlife #Thestagecoachway

Best thing I’ve learnt this half term… get into the staff room for lunch, even if it’s only 10 minutes. It’s made such a difference to my well-being ⭐️
