ACS Teaching & Learning

Teaching and Learning is what we do best. However, even for us, every day is a chance to learn.

Yet another great 2 days of professional learning. Whilst also delivering synchronous/asynchronous lessons and online learning, ACS staff are still striving to be even better! #OTP #OLE @OLEVItalk #TeamACS

Instead of "catch-up" or "recovery" programmes to help children returning to learning, how about "future-fit" or "readiness" programmes that ensure they have what they need to move onto the next stage in their learning journey?

[ACS English @ACSEnglishDept]

A BIG well done to everyone this week. You have all got stuck back in, after half term. Engagement with MYoN in KS3 has been brilliant. Your teachers have nominated their stars of the week! What will you do next week to go above and beyond? 👏📚👍🏽 #TeamACS
