This doesn't mean we should lower standards or downplay how important good grades are but it does mean we need more second chances and better paths for those at the left hand side of the curve.

We won under lights, which was nice.
After one hell of a week at school that was a lovely way to finish.

When he was in year 8 I used to have to chase this lad around school. So glad I don’t have to tackle him now. Good win yesterday.

TOUGH WEEK. Cold and Flu everywhere, great trip for 40 kids to London. Staff to cover, a few kids playing up a bit. Vast majority doing the right thing every day.

@willenhalle-act.bsky.social

Progress! Small steps but important ones.

I've been a trustee at the Holocaust Educational Trust for a while now so I see all the stats and it's so dispiriting.

I think we do a good job fighting back through education but it sometimes feels like trying to hold back the tide with a leaky bucket.
