Introducing Zoé - our new regional executive head chef educator!
We're transitioning from contract catering management to in-house catering in order to help integrate food into our curriculum, change our dining culture and help children build positive relationships with food.
🌍 One of our headteachers, Wendy Lee, addressed a group of West African headteachers and school owners who were in the country to find out more about the UK education system. It's nice to see our expertise yet again helping to influence education globally.
⛰️ Thank you to the Millfield Primary staff members who just hiked Snowdon and raised ~£1700 to enhance SEN (special educational needs) provision at the school.
🌍 We hope you feel on top of the world!
As the academic year draws to a close, we wanted to share some pictures from our TEFAT Food Festival. Each school showcased what they'd learned about food education this year then invited in their communities to share in some joy.

The theme of this year's Green Curriculum was food - how it is grown and produced, how we cook it, what happens to our bodies when we eat it, and the importance of a sustainable food system.

❤️A heart-warming story...
A pupil with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) shared his dream to sit in a Rolls-Royce with the pastoral team.
In true Billesley style, they helped make that dream a reality. Cue a £500,000 Rolls-Royce Ghost entering the school gates.

☀️ It's getting hot again. Many pupils have enjoyed time outside. Here's @valley_primary learning in the shade last week...
🏠 These primary-aged students were the first to be invited to STEMfest, but despite their competitors being secondary school age, they won 3 prizes, including runners up the main final. Their project focused on making storm-resistant housing in Wisbech. Well done!
👐Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do at Elliot.
☀️This term, we are absolutely thrilled to celebrate 7 incredible colleagues who have successfully completed our Aspiring SENDCo course! The future of SEND leadership is looking incredibly bright!

👩🍳 Chef? Here's some food for thought...
