MD of Pivot! I love the fact I am part of a team that is making a difference to children’s lives!#Itsnicetobenice #education #challenge

Hope you have all had a fun and holiday and a safe Halloween. We look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 2nd November.
Tomorrow Pivot staff are developing knowledge about SEND and reading.

A special mention to this young lady who achieved grade 4 in both Englsih and Maths GCSE and passes in English and Maths FKS2. Amazing, especially as she has been raising her gorgeous little girl. We are so proud of all she has achieved and look forward to following her success.

[Michael Smith @MSmithCEOPivot]

I am genuinely proud of James and what he has and is achieving.

[Pivot @Pivot_Team]

This is James, our first ever Pivot Academy student to gain a Bronze D of E Award! Totally brilliant dedication and effort, well done James! 👏 #beproud

I would like to thank all the staff that ensured that as much normality resumed for all our pupils as possible. Zooming with the leaders made me very proud to be part of this group of exceptional people! #team #covid #education #dreamteam #pupils #MentalHealth

I had the pleasure of spending the morning with @PivotLeeds very own Mrs C yesterday delivering to some of our great families. Loved it. #team #leeds #madeababycry #sorry

The team working with Santa to ensure covid doesn’t stop the magic of Christmas for the children! #team #santa #christmasmagic #covidcantstopsanta

We have had a very special visitor today. Although it was a bit different, we managed to stay Covid secure and still experienced the magic.

This display is a celebration of children's work. It's simple and not distracting but demonstrates and celebrates.
Just what a display should do. #BlackHistoryMonth

[Michael Smith @MSmithCEOPivot]

Great to see both the primary and secondary sites have hit the ground running after lockdown.

[Pivot Academy Leeds East @PivotLeeds]
