Ben visited @ManorParkSchSM1, @WestAshtead, @CCJacademy, @ShawleyPrimary & @HurstParkSchool. He worked with staff and pupils across the Trust, exploring everything from EYFS and inclusion to pedagogy and the use of digital technology in classrooms. 🇬🇧 🤝 🇸🇬

[LEO Academy Trust @LEOacademies]

@ManorParkSchSM1 @WestAshtead @CCJacademy @ShawleyPrimary @HurstParkSchool @LEOtraining5 @MOEsg Our children loved learning about life and education in Singapore through brilliant Q&A sessions, while staff benefited from rich professional dialogue with a leader from one of the world’s highest-performing education systems.

[LEO Academy Trust @LEOacademies]

@ManorParkSchSM1 @WestAshtead @CCJacademy @ShawleyPrimary @HurstParkSchool @LEOtraining5 @MOEsg A real highlight was seeing some of our Year 6 pupils from @HurstParkSchool reconnect with Mr Yong after visiting Singapore through the Turing Scheme earlier this year.

@ManorParkSchSM1 @WestAshtead @CCJacademy @ShawleyPrimary @HurstParkSchool @LEOtraining5 @MOEsg International collaboration like this matters. It strengthens professional learning, broadens perspectives, encourages innovation and ultimately helps us provide even better opportunities for our children. Thank you, Ben, for visiting us during your London sabbatical! 🇬🇧 🤝 🇸🇬
