Talking to parents/carers at the start of KS4 outlining the next 2 years- this was really powerful and helped our students and their families understand what is expected of them. I don't know why we never did this sooner!!!

Today, our students remembered. This morning, all students took part in a remembrance alongside a local bagpipe player and our very own Jayden. We also laid a wreath on behalf of our school community and read a poem as part of the remembrance proceedings. #lestweforget

Really simple. Good coffee. Good food. Good fun and time. In our November Inset we always give staff unstructured time to just talk. Human connections matter to us. Brilliant day with brilliant people.
