An afternoon at the Smurf Factory @ChallneyBoys in all blue. Wonderful staff meal and parents evening. We bumped into our enigmatic alumni @WaheedURAhmed1 - always incredibly inspiring. Well done @markmailer@DrPEvans and team, still going, relentless routines - Culture!
Well done to all teams who joined us for the year 3&4 multi sports today and took part in badminton, volleyball, archery and table tennis 🎯🏓🏸🏐
A special congratulations to our @YourSchoolGames Champions and huge thank you to @ChallneyPEDept leaders for making it possible 🙏🏻
@rickygervais Hadn't seen my dad for months. Visited him at the weekend and managed to get the famously stoic, stoney-hearted old sod to watch Afterlife. So he can cry after all. Some beers later came Derek. Great to hear him laugh again too. Thanks @rickygervais for showcasing humanity.
Thank you to the Student Voice and Year 11 Citizenship students for leading on such an important campaign.

A huge well done to our first CLT Employee of the Month for 2022!
We awarded the January Employee of the Month to the wonderful Claire Justin, for the brilliant support she has provided for the CTG recruitment round for our trainees.
Thank you so much Claire & congratulations!
I'm very excited to have accepted my first teaching position @ChallneyBoys. An excellent school to build my teaching career in and cannot wait to get started in July... Onwards with the PGCE 🎉
First lesson with Year 7 on rotation was to evaluate prior knowledge of colour theory, before understanding the order of the colour wheel. As an introduction, students familiarised the order of colours on a zentangle insect image. Thank you @art_g6! @ChallneyBoys@ChallneyDesign
There are some excellent pastoral roles here @ChallneyBoys@ChilternA@DenbighHigh@ChilternLT@larkriseacademy - well worth a look! Great opportunities, very supportive leaders, fab pupils. Only apply if you are positive and want to help every child 👍
Once you get into the habit of properly checking for understanding there's no going back. It's frankly terrifying how unaware I used to be of my students' understanding before sending them off on independent practice.
