A fantastic induction session tonight with some of our new LAT colleagues.

Feeling very positive about the future after meeting these new LAT staff.

‘Believe you can. Together we will.’

[Simon Spry @learningatceo]

We’ve enjoyed 5 very successful Ofsted visits in the LAT across 24/25, which means that in our schools with a grade, 100% are now Ofsted good or outstanding. While some might say ‘so what’, it’s a huge deal for us, because prior to joining, 7 (40%) had been graded less than good!

We’re over half way through the Learning Academies Trust TTRS battle. Plaistow Hill are currently on track to become champions. @MountStreetPlym are closely behind followed by @PomphlettS.Keep playing everyone & the winners will be announced on Friday.@learningatceo @TTRockStars

Take a look at these written explanations from some of our children in years 1 to 5 @woodfieldplym and @MountStreetPlym. It’s great to see the children using the correct mathematical vocabulary and stem sentences to fully explain their thinking. @learningatceo @WhiteRoseEd

A fantastic morning of debate and discussion in the LAT, with leaders from our 18 schools, central team leads and Trustees. I’m so privileged to work with such an amazing team of people. ‘Believe you can. Together we will.’

[Simon Spry @learningatceo]

Incredibly proud of our LAT children shown here, having enjoyed a wonderful fun filled afternoon of sport at Plymouth’s Life Centre.

Children from 13 of our schools got themselves into mixed teams & had a fantastic afternoon. Big thanks to everyone who helped to make it happen.

[Simon Spry @learningatceo]

@SchoolsWeek Really great to see @jon_hutchinson_ on there!!!

[Simon Spry @learningatceo]

This might just be the best Ofsted story ever.

Having secured 3 straight outstanding inspection judgements in 2010, 2012 & 2013, following an 11 year ‘exemption’ break, ⁦@princerockps⁩ are back with a 4th straight outstanding in a row!

Believe you can. Together we will.

[Simon Spry @learningatceo]

I am so incredibly proud of everyone at Prince Rock and in the LAT who has helped to make this happen.
Having had the privilege to have led this wonderful school to 3 outstanding Ofsteds many years ago, it’s now got its 4th straight outstanding judgement in a row!
WOW!
So proud!
