If our pupils can explain melting glaciers yet cannot improve the street outside their own school, then we’ve taught knowledge, but not agency.

Brilliant to finally read it in print how well my previous school did with the 2025 SATs, putting the school top of the county's list, with well above average results too. Well done everyone https://t.co/4QBK1AeH5M

What a delight - brilliant day and food for thought. Great to talk strategy and operation; very useful!

[Emma Turner FCCT @Emma_Turner75]

One of my favourite things to do is work with a head and a school over time to support strategy development and turn this into action.
A great day working down in Northampton today with a warm, welcoming and really thoughtful team.

As Headteacher, I couldn’t be prouder of our children & community for the exceptional results. These children now move on with the strong foundations, not just because of their results, but because of all the resilience, perseverance and belief that they all can achieve!

I find myself reading extracts several times, as getting the "jist" isn't going to help my retention, nor my
ability to properly appreciate the meaning or message being conveyed. I owe it to the writer, and to anyone
who is my audience, a better chance to share my understanding
