I’ve only just read the @tesmagazine.bsky.social from @carlcullinane.bsky.social on social segregation in school populations. There is an interesting interactive map from Sutton Trust showing schools with FSM lower than the regional average: www.suttontrust.com/our-research...

At TEAL have recently been looking at what schools typically offer in terms of maternity or family leave benefits. I am delighted that today we have officially launched a significantly enhanced package of support, which we will apply for all leave that commenced from 1 September 2024.

Day 3 of @leadeast100.bsky.social London Schools Visits had secondary colleagues at William Perkin High School. Unbelievable work from the team there, who also spent a huge amount of time and energy sharing their vision alongside actionable, mechanical steps towards change 👏

What better way to live and breathe the sense of community built at Reach Schools, then sitting down for a Family Meal with staff, community leaders and other 100 cohorts! Memories made, even if the quality of photos doesn't quite do it justice! Day 2 @leadeast100.bsky.social

Day 2 of East100 @leadeast100.bsky.social London School Visits took us to Reach Academy Feltham & Reach Academy Hanworth Park. We saw what it can look like if we make the decision to ensure the change we know is needed, takes place - in the community, for the community and alongside the community

Incredible visit to One Degree Academy in Enfield today with @leadeast100.bsky.social. One thing I really took away was the way they develop and train their TAs and how much value they add to the school.

You ever hear a story and think "No, that can't be true, I'd have heard that before, surely?" A story so remarkable you think "If that were true someone would have made a film out of that." Well, meet Betty Robinson, the winner of the first Women's Olympic 100m final. bit.ly/TutorGroupThink

Big news! Reach Academy Feltham, a very special all-through school, is recruiting for a new co-headteacher to lead the secondary phases. The outgoing co-head, Beck Owen, joined as a founding teacher & leaves the school in a very strong position. Share! reachacademyfeltham.com/wp-content/u...

Best education blog post I've read in years. Exceptionally developed thinking. Emma's point teachers planning see delivery end and the big picture is so insightful. In a world in which more and more of the big picture is being outsourced this, in a standout piece, is particularly brilliant.
