Yesterday, music. Today, Limbo dancing. Through English lessons our y7s are extending their knowledge of slavery and the importance of cultural heritage. #aspireatcarlton #braithwaite #limbo #lovepoetry #smsc

Music? In an English lesson? Absolutely! #aspireatcarlton #limbo #poetry

Year 7 enjoyed some great cross curricular work @OACarlton today. We combined English, music and history all within one lesson. #aspireatcarlton #barnsleyisbrill

Fascinating research from @IOE_London today - teenagers who read for pleasure every day knew 26% more words than those who didn't, and teens from book-loving homes knew 42% more words than those who grew up with few books. That's why giving EVERY child access to books is vital!

[OACA_English @Carlton_English]

Exciting announcement for Y7: From Monday (27 Nov) ALL your lessons will begin with 5 minutes of silent reading.Don’t forget your AR books

[OACA_English @Carlton_English]

We feel extremely fortunate to work with some fantastic students and their families. What a great parents’ evening.

[OACA_English @Carlton_English]

Absolutely loving this book.
