I've had to take a minute... It's been an emotional couple of days.

But... WOW! So proud and privileged to have led the English Department @TrinityAcademyL to its first set of GCSE results.

A phenomenal set of results from the Team. I've had to pinch myself several times...

[Donal Hale @HaleDonal]

So proud of @TrinityAcademyL's English results this year.

✅ Sig below on entry

✅ Sig above levels of transience
✅ At scale (240 in year group)

🏏 Because it's International Women's Day on Sunday, we'll be highlighting some of the girls who have been empowered to play by Chance to Shine over the next week...

Last year, at our girls Chance to Compete Yorkshire County Finals, we asked the state educated secondary school cricketers why they love to play!

Why do you enjoy playing cricket? Drop a comment! ⬇️

LOLLIPOP tells the story of a young mum trying to rebuild her life with her children after prison. We attended the parliamentary screening of the film, grateful to be able to share insight from our parental advocacy services

Saturday morning Park Run, coffee and an accidental @TrinityAcademyL social ☀️💜

[Christine Counsell @Counsell_C]

“School is not meant to reflect back a child’s existing world. It is meant to offer new worlds. It is meant to take the child by the hand and lead them to places they never knew existed, places beyond their postcode, places they have every right to belong.”
Spot on. 👏

[Trinity Academy Leeds @TrinityAcademyL]

Our brilliant team of runners have raised £823 for our friends @BSA_Leeds9 !

6. Trip to Waterstones
@MissShepherd09 and I had the privilege of taking a team to Waterstones to exchange their World Book Day tokens. We looked at new books we wanted in the school library, recommended books for each other and the journey back was abuzz with reading.

[Donal Hale @HaleDonal]

I'm looking forward to World Book WEEK at @TrinityAcademyL this week!

Our daily activities / events include:
💜Designing a book token as part of the WBD national competition
💜Forgotten Book Bingo
💜Book quizzes / activities during Community Lunch

Basically no-one has done what @Kathryncafferk1 and her team at Trinity Academy Leeds have done. They have created an amazing school in the toughest of contexts. And unbelievably generous with their time.

[Trinity Academy Leeds @TrinityAcademyL]

Every week our simply brilliant Year 10 students drive our bilingual book buddies programme. Paired up with a younger student (with a shared ‘first’ language), reading, vocabulary and friendship blossoms. 💜🌟
