Education is an act of partnership.

Just two days into the new school year and a flurry of interconnecting events have seen students, parents and colleagues revel, warm and authentic relationships at the heart of every interaction.

A presentation on Oracy from the excellent @stottcrates brought an enlivening week of professional engagements to a close this afternoon. We are raring to go ahead of the start of a new school year on Monday 19th August.

Back on campus following a refreshing summer break, much of my early endeavour has revolved around the reviewal of materials set to guide the induction of colleagues prior to the return of students on 19th August.

Our staff had the amazing opportunity to be hosted at @ShrewsburyHKG. We are always so impressed by their innovative educational approach, passion and dedication.

It was wonderful to thank the Parents Association Hong Kong for all their support to Shrewsbury.

Improving Education.
It's 10 years since the release of @ProfCoe's paper that introduced 'poor proxies for learning' and it's still relevant today.

Empassioned environmentalist, Hana, wrote to me this week. Just nine years old, she is determined to make a difference. A meeting with our catering manager awaits…

Two Scholars returned for a quick catch up last week. As conversation ebbed and flowed, old memories returned. "It’s only after you leave, that you really understand what a special place Shrewsbury is," explained one.

A first business trip in three years, Thailand proved enormously hospitable, as did colleagues from across the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (@FOBISIA1 ).

Opening with lunch at the private residence of the Consul General and concluding with the departure of students in KS1 for an Athletics Meet, we've enjoyed another varied week of activity and engagement, mid-March.

A revised set of guiding statements now sits proudly alongside a summary presentation of a strategic plan entitled Together We Flourish on the Ground Floor. Their display will act as a fixed reminder of our drive, intention and ambition.
