So proud to be a part of #TeamErnilf today. Our year 11's smashed it, & it was a joy to see their smiles & send them off on the next step of their journey. Our staff have pulled out every stop there is & it's great to see that effort paying off.

It was wonderful to see the Y11 students @AstreaErnulf receive their GCSE grades today. Staff and students have worked tirelessly this year and these smiles make it all worth it. These results were a huge step forwards for the school!

So proud of all the hard work our scholars put in! Their effort has paid off. Such a wonderful year group, working with them has been an absolute pleasure. #hardworkwins#TeamErnulf

A step forward on the stats, but smiling faces are why we do it. Lots more to do, but the dedication of my colleagues and this cohort was genuinely inspirational. Y11 still cracking jokes and asking to be quizzed one more time at 8:45pm is a memory that'll stay with me. Onwards

Incredibly proud of our Y11 scholars. The most hardworking cohort I have ever seen, it was lovely to see it pay off when they collected their results! #hardworkwins

We’ve had a wonderful results day at @AstreaErnulf.
4+ En/Ma and 5+ En/Ma were both up by 10%, meaning lots more children achieved the grades they needed for next steps. So proud of how hard they have worked and what they’ve achieved.

My favourite bit of getting ready for any holiday…packing the books to take! These plus “How to Improve your communication skills” on the Kindle. Not sure what it says about me that I’m more buzzing for this than the all-inclusive
This is absurd. The vast majority of children can sit an exam with others, and the main reason why so many now think that we can't is because we tell them they can't.
Adults need to teach children that they *can* cope, because when we don't, we create children who believe they…

Sitting at the YMCA watching my 3-year-old son receive explicit instruction in swimming.
"Move your arms like this, show me hold your breath, kick your feet". All with practice, repetition, and constant positive feedback.
This is the way we learn.
Awesome day, it’s brilliant to work with a trust that doesn’t shy away from collaboration and embraces it fully! Great to see how @SamECottrill IPs a lesson, learnt a lot today

Our curriculum embeds deliberate practice lessons at the point of forgetting. These are whole lessons dedicated to reviewing the key concepts taught and focus on independent practice.

We have also introduced whole class feedback lessons this year, setting aside a lesson (or two if needed) to reteach whole class weak areas and allow time for further independent practice. We anticipate forgetting, and we build in curriculum time to deal with this.

This really resonated with me: “The best teachers don’t fear going back. They know that true progress lies in looping, spiralling, returning with purpose.”
