We have an ‘Attitude of Gratitude’! It’s who we are, it’s what we do!

[Waterside Academy @WatersideAcad]

We hosted author Ify Adenegu who spoke about life growing up in Lagos and fleeing the civil war. She spoke about her struggles bringing up 4 children who she revealed work in the music industry; Skepta, JME, Julie and Jason. This was an exciting event in #blackhistorymonth

Black History Month is a hugely important part of our school calendar. We love the opportunity to celebrate black history in every way that we can! #blackhistorymonth

Subject knowledge has a very important role to play because high-quality teaching rests on teachers understanding the subjects they are teaching,knowing the structure and sequencing of concepts and developing factual knowledge essential to each subject.#upskilling @TomForCompton
