SLT….often the last to be thanked. Am luckiest Head in the world to have such a phenomenal team of hardworking, selfless and supportive senior leaders. Nothing too big, nothing too small. Stepping in and stepping up.
Two of them (absolute belters) pictured.
Thank you. 💜

Thank you
@Doug_Lemov
for an inspiring CPD session tonight, we are already deep in discussion about how to facilitate more quality talk in our classrooms. 🙏 🤩
I have an exceptional SLT.
Centre stage and behind the scenes, they run through walls; challenge, support and champion all.
Each one of them has character, heart and hunger.
Now we need two more exceptional individuals to help us grow stronger.

….big thanks to
@SOMOAwards
for funding our trip to the big smoke, it was definitely worth it. 🤩
As soon as I arrived….PGL staff: ‘your students are exceptional, they are the politest, loveliest children we’ve ever met.’ I can vouch for that, and the food was pretty decent too! 💜
Over 20 years working in brilliant schools, in various fashionable hi vis getups…..always see them in and always see them out!

Much is written about what makes a good school visit on here. Not so much about what makes a good school visitor.
We open our doors to many. Our favourite visitors are;
Open minded and friendly
Professionally curious (lots of Q’s)
Happy to speak to our young people
💜
I’ll say it again…teachers are incredible. Everyone has an opinion on education. My team and others across our country walk the walk, know and grow young people, have the conversations, put in the support and live it in all it’s visceral glory. Every single day! It matters. 💜
Stellar signings for year 4 of the journey.
Excited doesn’t touch the sides.
Only the very best for the children of Burmantofts and Harehills.

Today an exceptional young lady handed me this….I was completely floored. A few things omitted to protect her identity, but oh my goodness did she remind me!

Standards. Work ethic. Integrity. Heart.
Hats off to all pastoral leads and their teams, across the country.
We are very fortunate to have a particularly exceptional one in

Two magical days with a group of passionate and committed educators and support staff. Our school means so much to so many and the best is yet to come…..

In the spirit of ‘doing things that scare you’, being asked to speak to the executive team
@kpmguk
about leadership definitely hit the mark! Thank you for having me. 🐯
At the end of each week, without fail, I send a Friday think piece to all staff…this week it was entitled ‘People’. Very grateful for our people, not sure they know just how incredible they are. 🤫
@TrinityAcademyL
Today, I took some future colleagues to the very top of our building (well near enough!) and posed the question….
‘How far will you take them?’
…..because they’ll absolutely go there with you.

Incredibly proud of every member of our founding cohort; students, staff, supporters and friends. What a journey we have been on and the best, as I always say, is yet to come!
Purple stars, it is a privilege to help you shine.
Just some of the incredible women that I am lucky to work with. Through the triumphs and successes to the struggle of the juggle….throw in some TAL babies along the way….couldn’t wish for a stronger set of 🐯’s.

Always, always, best to see a school with your own eyes.
Be inquisitive and brave.
Come and see us and judge for yourself.
We’ll go in every single classroom, whatever the day and time, and I’ll stick the kettle on! 💜 ☕️
Nearly 20 years hence from when I was a budding English teacher, my Head of English still messages me, on my birthday, every year. Leaders create leaders and kindness and belief is powerful.

Today I hosted visitors. I spoke about the first year…of hiring staff amidst a pandemic, over MST, without seeing them teach, with a line in their contract that if our build wasn’t completed in time, the job wouldn’t stand. I somehow managed to hit the jackpot.

Tonight, our orchestra performed together for the first ever time. They were simply sensational….this is only the beginning.
