The Honours announcements are always interesting, & this year I’m really proud to see my friend @WayneNorrie on the list. Wayne is one of the kindest and most professionally generous human beings I know, and @GreenwoodAcad is a wonderful trust. Well done @WayneNorrie! #deserved

As part of their RE learning about sacred places, Year 1 went on a search of St Andrews Church to discover different features. Thank you to Rev Phil for telling the children about St Andrews and sharing a story with them.

Don't let's underestimate what pupils with SEND are capable of! There's plenty of evidence that they enjoy doing demanding work. Yet how often are we tempted to make things easy? I'll be sharing how we can offer all our pupils a rich curriculum, including those with lower starting points. Webinars on geography, history and RE in March, live and recorded.

I've been gathering feedback from headteachers and trust leaders on how the programme is landing for them; to what extent are Yorks100 participants bringing back their learning and sharing it with their current schools?

Several of our Year 5 children, following our work with ‘Energy Heroes’ and the NSAT Next Generation Board, led two assemblies today to share their ideas about how we can save energy at school. We have some exciting things planned including our very first ‘Green Day’ 🟢
