Some excellent workshops at the Finham Park MAT conference today. This from Dr Louise Newson was so refreshing and informative on the impact of hormone imbalance both on our students and of course on us teachers.

Another brilliant session Finham Park MAT conference today was Hannah Lucy Hall talking about creating a positive culture in our schools. Again, great opportunity to reflect on how we can support all our learners, especially those who need our help the most.

The keynote from Tier Blundell was truly a highlight of Finham Park MAT conference day. A gripping and genuinely inspirational talk about the impact of exclusion on young people. Thank you for sharing your experiences and reflections with us.

As always, amazing to see and gear the productive pedagogical discussions in our TALK groups this afternoon. This term's focus is effective feedback strategies and having looked at some research and Walkthrus strategies staff will now observe one another in coaching pairs.

It's the time of year for emotional farewells. Good luck to our English Lit Yr13 class from Mrs Cooke and Ms Boyce xxx

Today we said a fond farewell (for now) to our wonderful Year 13 cohort. A lovely morning of partying ended with an emotional assembly and a guard of honour as they left the site. We wish them all the very best of luck for their exams and their bright, shiny futures x
