And the best thing about all of this, as the students left the room - they were all so proud too! "Thanks Miss, that lesson was great! I loved it. I didn't know I knew that much" This is why you go into teaching.

3 and a half years ago, a small group of 11 teachers set up Ark Soane Academy. We are now recruiting for our FIFTH year as a school. Where has the time gone?! 🧵

Our lessons are disruption free. We also believe that a strong school culture shapes the character of our pupils. We restored Doug Lemov's faith that 'strong and positive cultures were still out there' teachlikeachampion.org/blog/my-englan…
