October is ADHD Awareness Month - a vital time to deepen understanding, challenge misconceptions, & celebrate.

In education, awareness isn’t enough; it’s about building environments where every mind can thrive.

✨ Excited for today as we welcome school leaders from across our Trust — and beyond — to Day 1 of the Strive4 Leadership Programme 2025. ⭐️🌟💫✨

RISE teams reveal their regional priorities Government names 170 new 'stuck' schools, where RISE advisers will focus efforts and regional priorities

London: 11 RISE schools, 9 advisers. North West: 32 RISE schools, 9 advisers.
If RISE is about fairness + impact, adviser deployment must reflect greatest need, not geography.
Every child deserves the same chance to thrive!

White paper to usher in year 8 reading test Move to ensure poorer pupils are not shut off from wider curriculum

Reading - the passport to life.
Y8 tests diagnose too late. If we want confident learners, we must invest early: EYFS & primary.
Teaching transforms. Every child should leave primary school a reader. Anything less locks doors before futures begin.

There’s something incredibly exciting in the air at Ray Lodge Primary School as we step into this new academic year.
Walking through classrooms, you can feel it: children who are impeccably behaved, deeply focused on their learning. 💫

Leadership isn’t about giving instructions – it’s about working alongside others to drive improvement.

Proud to be shoulder-to-shoulder with our brilliant School Improvement Team at Strive4, supporting leaders so they can focus on what matters most: children, learning & community. 🌟

Today’s INSET was a reminder of why we teach: to encourage our values of Ambition, Possibility, Resilience, Integrity, Diversity & Emotional Awareness. With plans in place, we’re ready to welcome pupils back on Wednesday. #Striving4Excellence🌟📚

Refurbished EYFS classrooms create safe, stimulating, and well-resourced environments that inspire curiosity, support early learning, and lay strong foundations for children’s future education. 🌟✨⭐️

The month of August

On Sunday we celebrated World Ocean Day to reflect on the vital role our oceans play in sustaining life on Earth.

This week is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Week, an important time to talk openly about wellbeing, challenge stigma, and promote a culture where everyone feels safe to speak up and seek support. 💬💙

There’s no such thing as a private conversation.
Words travel — faster and further than we think.

A casual comment can land hard. Intent doesn’t erase impact.
Reputation, trust, and dignity are all fragile.

Free speech matters. But thoughtful speech matters more.
