🍃Connection before correction🍃 Always separate a child from a behaviour and let them know they are loved, cared for unconditionally and will be held to account for their choices. Relational practice alongside rules, routines and boundaries is what our young people need 💜

@EvolveAcademyUK @EnrichAcad Incredibly proud of how hard they’ve worked at Enterprise this week 🎉👌🏻 #connections #UPR

Sitting quietly and appreciating everything around you when you’re almost running on empty is sometimes all you need to start to fill the cup again 🩵 #selfcare #outdoors

The amount of times I’ve heard he needs more resilience…the boy has plenty. He just needs to be in the right environment with the right people 💜 #autism #knowyourworth #proud

[Aimee Bedford @aimeebed]

On International Children’s Day, remember that for a child to learn, they need to feel safe, loved and trusting of others. What do you do in your classrooms and schools to provide such an environment? #nurture #beyourbestself 💜

To all those parents that have kiddies sitting KS2 SATs next week…

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Their results do not define them
⭐️⭐️⭐️ They are more than a number or scaled score
⭐️⭐️⭐️ They are spectacular individuals in their own right

OFSTED reflections from this week...
3 deep dives all at the same time taking all senior, middle leaders and some teachers off the floor- definatley not 'typicality'.
Days 8am to 6pm not aligned to parents, especially single parents and childcare hours. Outdated!

[Aimee Bedford @aimeebed]

Absolutely smashing it this week 🌟 Well done to all the staff and pupils for making Evolve the place to be 🎉

[Evolve Academy @EvolveAcademyUK]

21 students this week have had 100% attendance! That is 30% of our student cohort. A huge well done to our fantastic students at Evolve Academy!

Nurture isn’t a room, restorative isn’t just a set of questions, kindness isn’t weakness and exclusion isn’t a behaviour strategy
