I first saw a Family Lunch in 2015 when I visited
@Miss_Snuffy
for the first time. I loved the concept on a daily basis - and this is our 1,500 hot meals, 3 sittings, Years 7-11 Christmas version 🌲today

- structure liberates ! Building belonging along the way !
EXCITING NEWS!🚦
We are always striving to improve
@q3langley
and we can announce that during the Easter break traffic lights will be installed on corridors to aid student movement between lessons. We believe this will further reduce time wasted during the school day.
We’ve done it
@q3langley
!
Our first set of externally validated

results ! Huge congratulations to students, staff, families - grit, determination and resilience ! 🎉👏🙏🔥
We have been called the Michaela of the Midlands; following in the footsteps of one of the most successful new schools in the country ! You must re-arrange your visit
@Miss_Snuffy
postponed due to Covid in April ‘20!
Exactly !
@q3langley
we have equipment placemats in AM Tutor time and provide items so all go to Period 1 with every item ! Whisper it quietly but we also reward all those with every item daily !
This is what good schools do. 👇🏼
They help kids develop the HABIT of getting it right.
We don’t throw kids out of lessons for not having a pen.
If you care about kids, you should care about helping them develop successful habits for the future.
Seminal moment today. I think this is up there with my first 2015 visit to

at Michaela. Phenomenal day
@MerciaSchool

but so many brilliant differences ! Simplicity ! Warmth ! Culture !
Probably the two biggest influences on how we have built and developed

@Miss_Snuffy

A difficult time to complete it in over the last 18 months or so but glad I’ve done it, passed and met some good people along the way

One of the key strands of our policy since opening
@q3langley
was students handing in their mobile phone in during AM Tutor.This gets locked away and returned during PM Tutor. We have operated this system since 2016 with just 5 Tutor groups, in 2024 we have 50 with 1440 students!
My 6th visit down to
@Miss_Snuffy
- and yet again blown away by what I see just like my first visit in 2015. Such clever and subtle tweaks to Family Lunch, effervescent Tour Guides, and the

Family Lunch discussion on a table I’ve had in all my visits. Inspirational.
Simply wonderful to visit
@Miss_Snuffy
for my *5th* time ! As always subtle changes to how things are run I find intriguing and an inspiring Family Lunch with amazing Year 9s! Much food-for-thought to take back
@q3langley

Three building delays, three different building contractors, global pandemic, flood, fire, cyber attacks, merger, and industrial action…but what a journey !
#changethenarrative
Absolutely spot on. One of the reasons why we designed
@q3langley
with just a 3 period day to minimise time lost to movement that happens so frequently in schools. Disruption free learning ditto. Those who dismiss this are blind to the reality.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I’m obsessed with football; so tonight I’m incredibly proud of

Family Breakfast
@q3langley
is such a key part of our KS3 routine daily. 900 students offered the chance of a drink, cereal and toast. For free. KS4 students get this during exam weeks including mocks.
Simply amazing night

said I’m still singing 🎶 out of tune just like the 13 year old me back in 1989 and now all these years later as a 47 year old Headteacher all the lyrics resonate so much through all the years of life. Thank you. Perfect.
Top-performing schools with high P8 for disadvantaged. Great to speak with

Closed down and moth-balled the school in B68 8ED in 2006. Rebuilt and remodelled and in 2023 the results are there to be celebrated
