1/6 School improvement tests you in ways few other roles do. Three years ago I began what would become the most challenging period of my professional career...

I couldn't be prouder to be part of this journey and this team! Go Lea Manor! A privilege to drive and watch my year group flourish as the school has developed and I have learned so much along the way! Grateful as well to have such a great English dept to work with as well!
Following our recent Ofsted inspection, we are finally able to share that the report and scorecard confirms what we have collectively felt within our corridors: Lea Manor High School is now a beacon of educational excellence. leamanorhighschool.org/Our-S…

Last week we hosted 8 local companies for our BESP Event, where Year 10 pupils could find out more about each of the businesses. These quick-fire sessions gave pupils first-hand insights into a variety of different industries, helping them prepare for their own career journeys

Go 93! Well done to all - but the competitive side of me can't help but celebrate at a Y9 overall victory!
Congratulations to all of our Sports Day Winners! Forms 71, 81 & 106 came top in their year groups, with From 93 being the overall LMHS Sports Day Champions It was a great last day to round off the academic year and we look forward to seeing everyone back at LMHS in September

Never before have you seen a man putting more into an egg and spoon race. Fab day - Y9 showed themselves as keen sportspeople across the board with supportive/engaged attitudes to boot. Plus, some "friendly competition" from @mr_iqz! Well done Y9 Thanks Team PE! @MissClarkDance
It wasn't just successful for pupils, staff couldn't help but get involved too!

A credit to themselves and our school! Such a proud HoY seeing how they conducted themselves out and about in London. It's been a pleasure! Really nice to see the pupils enjoying themselves in a different light! Thanks for the hard work organising @nor_n1018
Year 9 visited London today for a chance to become tourists and take in the wonderful culture of our capital city. Our walking tour took us past spectacular sights including the London Eye, Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, and Buckingham Palace.

Today's Enrichment Week activities saw Year 9 visit @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo to see the animals they have at the zoo and learn more about the valuable conservation efforts they undertake. Year 9's favourite animals of the trip were the big rhinos and the little fish.

A very proud HoY! The most joyful part for me is seeing the pride the pupils take in themselves! So lovely to see the Class of 27 take a leading role in the arts, the sports field, and now also in academic enrichment! Proud of how far we have come and all that Y9 is achieving!
Congratulations to the Year 9 & 10 pupils who have graduated from the @BrilliantClub Scholars Programme 'Creative Writing: The Horror-Comedy Genre' They all showcased excellent creativity & critical writing skills, producing A-Level quality work and achieving outstanding results

Perhaps the greatest marker of my deep-seated love of Imtiaz Dharker's Tissue: Two of my Y11s got it printed onto a pillow for me! Yes, I really do love it that much!

A tough one for me working in Luton and growing up around Oxford. Hope you enjoyed it boys!
To celebrate their recent sporting success, we took a group of Year 9 pupils to Kenilworth Road Football Stadium to watch the Luton Town Under 21's Football team play against Oxford United. It was great experience for the pupils who thoroughly enjoyed this tense 2-2 match
