It’s so good to be back!
The privilege of carrying out a #PovertyProofing audit is not to be taken lightly. Thanks for the opportunity @childrennortheast.bsky.social and #BEP. I’ve already learned so much to take back to #StPauls. Looking forward to day 2.

Who wouldn’t love this as an opening paragraph in a report:

..everybody cares deeply for all pupils to be safe, happy and
successful…They get to know pupils well because they take the time to do so. Pupils appreciate this. They feel safe, valued, appreciated and respected here.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any #Independant #Special Schools out there.
I’m hoping to connect with leaders from settings like ours.
We are an #SEMH provision for 11 to 19.

Another #StaffMeeting & this one starts with #FunFactFuelledFlights

It’s so important to enjoy your work and even at the end of a tough day this fabulous team pull it out of the bag!

I find after school meetings more productive following an activity that makes people smile.

First 2 days of headship under my belt. Is there a better way to start a year than getting the staff to build their own β€˜St Paul’s School’ out of Lego in teams?
A brilliant start to the day and setting the tone for the year.
Work can and should be fun especially when surrounded by a strong team!

How are you doing? We really should arrange a catch up.

Take a look at the new school #Library that we have spent the summer creating. Thanks to so many amazing donations and family support my new school now has a lovely space to forge a love of reading for our young people.
