When collecting exam results, remember you are loved for who you are & not for a set of grades. Your life story will depend far more on your qualities of character than your qualifications- pick up your results, go well, do great things, be happy. @HMC_Org @ReigateGrammar

I haven’t demanded anything. We will plan carefully, prepare contingencies & be fully aware that difficult times mean imperfect & ‘just-in-time’ decisions from govt. We see the need for flexibility & compromise, all pulling together for the good of all rather than blaming others.

Over simplified or a core value for a great school? The best schools try to build the school around the child rather than having a ‘fit in’ approach to the curriculum, sport, pastoral care and everything. It guides us as a principle @ReigateGrammar

We need to proclaim the quiet but real consensus among parents, students, teachers and governors. Education is not about league tables but is about inspiring young people and preparing them for a happy, successful and healthy life. @ReigateGrammar

This is awful - there is so much more to a good education than just exam results. What we learn in the school show, choir, sports fields, on DofE etc - that is essential for developing qualities of character @ReigateGrammar

Being well educated is more than being well qualified The Sutton Trust is right, the formative experience of a music ensemble, debating team, DofE expedition, sports team and more are crucial for later life, not just a fist full of certificates

The government's education recovery plan doesn't fully take into account the importance of life skills. Extra-curricular activities which develop skills and support wellbeing must be included in the plan going forward.
