I know I sound like a broken record, but I share this with teachers at the start of every term. Some of our kids have such chaotic lives, a week can feel like a lifetime away to them, so these things need to be returned to...https://t.co/lIKSyGMdV3

By sheer coincidence, it was my turn to do Thought For The Day at TTA this morning, so I chose to talk about the horrific attack in Golders Green yesterday, and what it means to be a Jew in 2026 Britain.

Please give it a few minutes of your time if you can.

One of the things that bugs me about the focus on "belonging" is it seems so obvious and simple - like, who doesn't know what the term means? Anybody can be an expert. School leaders can pull together CPD and policies on it really quickly, LinkedIn posters can rustle something up nice and quick, people can make summary posters easy peasy and consultancies can sell "belonging" packages.

But then you read a post like this from @jon_hutchinson_ and you think well hang on...there's a lot of detail here. A lot of nuance. A lot of sophisticated analysis and evaluation. And you look at those quick and easy solutions that school leaders and LinkedInners and consultancies are promoting and you think that as a profession we are once again rewarding and privileging surface understanding and glitz over deep and meaningful thought.

🚨 A letter to Year 11 families at Michaela Community School states that children who do not attend weekend and holiday revision sessions will “spend time in Referral”

They must also attend in full school uniform

The IDSR can be useful — but only if you know what you’re looking at.

This guide breaks down what it is, how to read it, what to set aside, and how to use it well in inspection preparation.

***U MATTER***

Following the success of our 1% Better pilot (targeting students with 90–95% attendance), we’re now launching our U Matter strategy.

This initiative focuses on a key group of students with high U codes ensuring every student is seen, supported, and valued.

***LESSON ROUTINES***

Helping our Year 6s feel ready for high school.

We’re sharing stories of the school day, with a little help from Lenny to build confidence, reduce worries, and give everyone a glimpse of what to expect.

***HT5 ATTENDANCE STRATEGY***

For HT5, we have placed attendance firmly at the heart of everything we do because every day in school matters.

Our HT5 attendance strategy is built on consistency, accountability, and meaningful support for every student and family.

Here’s how we’re driving improvement:

✅ Attendance mentoring for a core group of students — providing targeted support where it’s needed most.

✅ The 1% Better Cohort: focusing on students in the 90–95% range, where small gains can make a big difference.

✅ The U Better Cohort to support students with higher U codes through personalised intervention and clear next steps.

✅ Legacy Legends challenge to apply a collective rewards approach to build momentum and excitement around attendance across the half term.

✅ Weekly Attendance Newsletter helping to keep families informed, supported, and engaged in the journey.

✅ Monday Morning Attendance Strategy Meetings to ensure attendance remains a
sharp, shared priority every single week.

✅ Tutor Attendance Booklets to empower tutors to lead high quality conversations and interventions at every level.

This is about more than numbers, it’s about building habits, strengthening relationships, and creating a culture where being in school every day is the norm.

[Nick Hart @MrNickHart]

School senior leadership structures sometimes take specialists away from their specialism or don't value the specialist seat at the table at all.

But effective leadership teams need to do two distinct kinds of work: design how the school works; and make the school work.
