@Mouhssin_Ismail Don't often speak out but your statement shows a complete lack of understanding of what trauma informed practice actually is. High expectations and challenge with high support It may be time for you to have a harder look at some of the research and have a rethink.

2/2 My reflection is that @larkriseprimary is a truly remarkable School. On the top of this I'm so lucky to be its headteacher leading the Larkrise family with @cstewart16 & @ScottInTheSouth

I can't tell a lie I got a bit emotional reading some of the reports!

[Jon Gray @learnactively]

1/2 I have spent Sunday morning reading our Yr6 reports and reflecting where we were as a school when I first met them in Yr3. I can't believe how far these children have come. Even more remarkable that this was done through covid and all the other challenges thrown our way.

We are advertising for a KS1 teacher to join our amazing school from September 2023. Would you like to work in a school 100% of staff feel that their work has a strong purpose and makes a positive difference to the lives of children?

@DannyYee @ForrisHilier @larkriseprimary @larkriseprimary has balance bikes in EYFS and Bikeability in Yrs 5&6. This year we worked with @OxfordHub to secure 12 bikes for children. @larkriseprimary also provided cycle helmets and lights. Our aim is for 100% of children to complete a Bikeability course.

Wow @MrNickHart thanks for sharing. We are starting to think about our next steps on our school improvement journey. Very useful thread.

@vicgoddard absolutely agree. It also helps children understand that not all disabilities are visible.

[Vic Goddard @vicgoddard]

I rarely put my head above the parapet on behaviour as everyone immediately falls into the warring camps. Behaviour management at a whole school level requires structures and systems that promote consistency and fairness for both yp and adults.
