2/ Well done to Amit, from @TSLTChalkHills (although previously a TSPA student 😜) for securing First Place and to all our super spellers today…they were all phenomenal! 🐝
Thank you to colleagues from @HoustoneSchool@bedsfreeschool @TSLTChalkHills for supporting
A huge congratulations to our YR10 & 11 students who competed in last week's Athletics Cup.
We are so proud to have finished 2nd overall, with a number of outstanding performances.
Well done to everyone involved, such a fantastic achievement! 🏅

Such an exciting event! The year 8s (and the staff) were so inspired by @DanFreedman99’s assembly, and we were even able to have a Q&A session to find out more about his experiences as a writer and a football fan.
We are so honoured to have Dan Freedman visit today! Best known for his hugely popular Jamie Johnson football novels, Dan is a Sunday Times bestselling author, who inspires young readers & athletes.
A selection of his books are available for purchase on Arbor ⚽📚

What a way to celebrate World Book Day and International Women’s Day! Our Year 9s were so engaged in Safiyyah’s talk about the publishing process and how she finds inspiration for her stories. Definitely some future writers in this group!
✨Thank you so much to local Author Saifyyah Umar, for visiting us today to talk about her book, The Heart Crusher. It was such a pleasure to meet you, and the students really enjoyed learning about your journey. Your insights & experiences are truly inspiring!✨

📚 Mentoring in Action🌟
Our dedicated Sixth Form students are putting their recent Coram Beanstalk training into action, supporting younger students with their reading.
Their support and encouragement make such a difference👏 Well done!

On Thursday we hosted a traditional afternoon tea to welcome our newest members of staff to Chalk.
The event was a delightful way for colleagues to relax, connect and enjoy a variety of teas, scones, finger sandwiches, and an assortment of delicious cakes.
5 years as a student, 6 years as a teacher! I am so grateful to all of the friends I have made along the way and am thankful that I have had the chance to teach so many wonderful students. I said a final goodbye today as I packed up years worth of memories and clutter 😂

LMHS summer showcase this evening. Great display of our wonderful students and their talent. Thank you to the performance department for organising this evening @MissClarkDance@leamanorschool@leamanorpe@lea_high
Had the privilege of seeing Jamal Edwards talk to @leamanorschool pupils back in 2020. He was a real inspiration; so engaging and hard working that we even named a house after him! Very sad news today - my thoughts are with his friends and family. Rest in peace Jamal.
@atharby I loved your National College webinar! Just wondered if you would be willing to share the structure/pro forma for your fortnightly meetings that you mentioned? This sounds like such a powerful idea!
I’m so impressed with the effort and engagement of my learning family this half term. Their Science books really reflect the pride they have in their work! @Science_LMHS#noshortcutstosuccess
