2/2 Nothing special to see this morning - just a Principal, leading morning address, reminding scholars of the 'why' behind the core values, and how they can demonstrate these throughout their day. Astrea Academy Woodfields
The overwhelming demand due to the INCREDIBLE interest* in my researchED presentation on the links between poor reading and behaviour problems, has left me shocked and speechless! The slides can be found here: 1drv.ms/b/c/05a102437e… * one person
The iconic Astrea Academy Woodfields pink clip boards to help support Active Obs, responsive teaching and working memory... game changer. David Scales
The journey Astrea Academy Woodfields has been on over the last 18 months from an Inadequate school to a Good and rapidly improving school is quite remarkable. Family Dining for Class of 2031 is an absolute testament to this and the excellent culture. Unthinkable 18 months a go. Joyful.
I cannot wait to see the magic🪄 ✨ Julie Atkins is working absolute wonders and opening up the world of performing arts to scholars every lunchtime and after school each day. Last year it was the London Globe, where this year?!
Listen from 1h35m to hear the staff and scholars from Astrea Academy Woodfields talk about our ground breaking Family Dining. I also talk about why we’re doing it and how school dinners are better than ever! Thanks BBC Sheffield and Becky Measures bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Opening Evening is tonight from 5pm. Please drop in. You are most welcome. We are also on BBC News (UK) today about our Family Dining approach. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Thanks to BBC News (UK) and BBC Sheffield for covering our Family Dining service. This is the first time it’s happened in Doncaster and a first for a non-free school. Doncaster school 'family dining' initiative boosts attendance - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
I’m don’t think it’s a coincidence our attendance figures Q3 Academy Langley have been like they are for a variety of reasons but one of the main ones is our Family Breakfast & Lunch models!
Culture and scholarship Astrea Academy Woodfields. Every aspect of the academy is carefully thought through with precision. Class of 2031 'Harvard University' Family Dining table and their line. 'Climbing the mountain to university'. This school is on a huge transformation journey.
Privilege to visit Astrea Academy Woodfields and join Family Dining: excellent company; delicious food! From arrival, line-up, lessons, transitions, staff+pupils and so many lovely conversations. Uplifting! First time recital of verses 1+2 of 'If' +inflection! Sincere TY all +David Scales
