An incredible buzz of activity in B Block today as classes 1.7-1.9 came together for the entry event of their latest PBL. The energy was infectious and we can’t wait to see how this project unfolds! #Excelerate

Gallery walk time now at our PBL recall day. We’re using I like, I wonder and I have to give kind, specific and helpful feedback on projects. There are some very detailed plans being shared today - fantastic!

Great day at PBL Recall for Team Northfield! A reflection from our teachers in attendance: “Fantastic to share good practice and reflect on our PBL journey so far. We also bring lots of PBL ideas back to school!” #Excelerate

Had a lovely afternoon yesterday with some of team Northfield Academy chatting all things #PBL and plans for next year. Excelerate collaboration in action!

Reflecting on last week—we kicked off the academic year at 6:30am on the first day of term. We made our way to the Scottish Borders from Northfield Academy with 123 young people. It was a week to challenge ourselves, build relationships and make memories! #HowWeCrew #Excelerate

During Community Meeting last Friday, S1 and S2 pupils had to answer the following question: 'How can we make the community a kinder place?' Each Crew had to produce two 'exit tickets' which went towards creating our Kindness Calendar for the month of December.
