It’s the end of another long school year and the holidays have come not a moment too soon. This message on behalf of all my team @RGWestMidlands comes with our thanks to all those involved in looking after children/YP in the region. Enjoy a well deserved holiday!!
@MelanieRenowden Totally agree. Where to start on this issue?! Doesn’t the person next to me know that I’m not interested in what he does with the gravel on his drive?!!!
The Standards and Testing Agency has created a video for primary schools, to support administration of the key stage 2 tests and answer common questions. https://t.co/rkqTneEdhP
These sorts of round table discussions definitely highlight the importance and potential of collaboration. To rework a phrase, “no school is an island”!
As the holidays begin for @RGWestMidlands school staff & pupils, we just wanted to say a huge thank you and well done for all you’ve done for the children & YP of the region throughout this long & tough term. I’ve met so many inspirational school staff this term. Rest well
