It was a privilege yesterday to see all the exceptional principals of our trust, from all phases, working alongside each other at our HQ, on strategy and vision for disrupting disadvantage and providing the best education for our pupils! @astreaacademies#strengthinunity 👏👏
If you want to know how to do something, ask people who have done it. And if you want to know how to reduce absence in schools, you could do a lot worse than talk to the people who run and work in these schools. Superb work.
Congratulations to the community for being the 16th most improved school in the country for attendance. This is testament to your sense of duty, community and scholarship. We appreciate how you have worked with us to help your child live a great life.
Big congratulations to our scholar president Sara who soon comes to the end of her tenure. She has made public speeches to thousands of people and represented the views of the scholars with such grace and passion. @AAWoodfields is grateful and wishes her success!
