We are delighted that the work and achievement of everyone at The Centre School has been recognised in The King's Birthday Honours through the appointment of Principal Sue Raven as an MBE. Well done Sue and to the young people whose success has made this recognition possible!

Sue has worked tirelessly to help those that need it most. This is thoroughly well deserved and it is a pleasure to serve alongside Sue. These honours are also for the school and community, which should be rightly proud. Congratulations and best wishes from Astrea Academy Woodfields

Congratulations to Christine Counsell A formidable force and always the voice of sense. Very well deserved. X

Such wonderful news! Huge congratulations to Sue, this is very richly deserved. We are all massively proud of what Sue and the staff at the The Centre School have achieved. The The Centre School is a really special place.

Mouhssin Ismail Naveen Rizvi City of London Academies Trust Great choice! I have learned a lot from Naveen and admire her love of Mathematics, love of instruction, love of sequencing and her striving to keep learning from the best out there, very much.


How much time should we spend on assessment? How can we make the best use of this time? New today from 100% Assessment: A Matter of Time. 🕰️ Becky Allen


‘Learning that does not last was never really learning, it was mere exposure’. Another cracker from Mark McCourt In my role as an intervention teacher and as a tutor preparing pupils for GCSE I see this issue day in, day out.

Congratulations Christine Counsell!!! I know of no-one who deserves this more. 👏👏👏

Huge congrats to everyone honoured today and I’m so thrilled for Christine Counsell! She has expanded horizons for countless children through her work with schools on curriculum. On a personal note, I honestly can’t think of anyone who has helped my thinking on curriculum more

Had the pleasure of dining in the most incredible company earlier this week. To say I feel inspired is an understatement. Doug Lemov Bruno Reddy OBE Erica Woolway Josh Goodrich


Richard Tutt Good read. I think the issue of bureaucracy/complexity is the biggest risk for schools that pulls across from the book.


Huge congratulations to the wonderful Christine Counsell who is exactly the kind of person these awards should recognise. A towering figure in modern UK education. schoolsweek.co.uk/kings-birthday…


It was such a pleasure to visit Astrea Academy Woodfields this morning, where calm corridors, warm relationships and purposeful classrooms are the norm. #whatajourney David Scales
