Headteacher of a great secondary school. Still operational and behind on paperwork.

No we cannot have another one!
We need something to transform our outcomes - our teaching is so much better than 12 months ago but a lot of these kids had a poor KS3 and that’s on us.
Just as telling is that an hour later he was saying on Times radio that what she said was racist. I am sure he hadnt actually changed or formed an opinion but rather been told to say something different.

The quality of people holding elected positions is laughable.
A great day of commemorating a young lad who died ten years ago. Lots of people came to mark the occasion with his mum and dad, really special.
Busy and brilliant final week of half term.

• Bingo Bongo rewards session for each year group.
• Lots of visiting speakers
• Diwali dancing workshops
• Year 11 1:1 meetings and academic mentoring

Just year 11 in yesterday. They received their mock results in English and Maths and then we laid on masterclasses.

As SLT we met with every year 11 student and their academic mentor (parents invited too). In a school where we need to shift outcomes - this felt like a good start. #halfterm

This doesn't mean we should lower standards or downplay how important good grades are but it does mean we need more second chances and better paths for those at the left hand side of the curve.
We won under lights, which was nice.
After one hell of a week at school that was a lovely way to finish.

Love this, feels like Autumn.
When he was in year 8 I used to have to chase this lad around school. So glad I don’t have to tackle him now. Good win yesterday.
