Assemblies to all year groups today.
Not much voice leftβ¦lovely day though. @willenhalle-act.bsky.social
Busy weekend in Minehead. Lovely to catch up with friends from school and still do exactly the same things as 25 years ago. Just slower and slightly quieter. We are still terrible at snooker and bang average at pool.

Listening to the Man City vs Liverpool game, @willenhalle-act.bsky.social were able to send 10 students up to the Etihad Stadium in midweek to watch a European game. Great to be able to reward some fantastic young people.

Same story in lots of schools - huge annual costs to maintain buildings that will never be owned by the schools themselves.

First customer in the new @willenhalle-act.bsky.social student toilets.
Paid for by money saved by staff - busy first day back but lovely to be back together again! Such a necessary upgrade to our facilities.

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.
β’ Bingo Bongo rewards session for each year group.

β’ Diwali dancing workshops
β’ Year 11 1:1 meetings and academic mentoring
@willenhalle-act.bsky.social
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
