Another great session at the allotment for our Reception children this afternoon, where we met our resident hens and cockerel. We also found that rhubarb leaves make great umbrellas!#learningoutsidetheclassroom #featheredfriends #noeggstoday https://t.co/NGjTxDMu1H

A visit to @HOLYCROFTPRIM yesterday showed me how immensely hard staff & leaders are working against a continued relentless backdrop of Covid-related challenges - in awe and wonder.🌟 https://t.co/Q8Td8WBmD9

Looking forward to developing further the MAT SEND group with @simontanner_SEN. We had over 30 MAT SEND leaders join us last year & the need is growing - particularly post Covid. Drop us a line if you are the #SEND Strategic Lead for your Trust & looking for CPD/networking opps.

Last week’s induction was packed full, including top quality training from our @N_StarAT experts @NQheadT and @CindyHaymes. Tomorrow our fab cohort are starting their school placemats, taking inspiration from @jazampawfarr with them. Go and be everyday heroes! https://t.co/Lvs0VYzKA8

We’ve got a jam packed week ahead at Greatwood! Alongside our curriculum offer this week we have: horse riding, brass lessons, swimming, rugby, tree identification in Skipton woods and a walk up Buckden Pike. Are there enough hours to fit it all in? 🧐 @N_StarAT https://t.co/hCCHeLlDAH

It’s fantastic to have our new community hub in use already this week - hosting the brilliant FiiT Like a Girl and Chatsworth Dance already. We’re excited to be kitting out the community grocery next week and hosting the reopening of the New Park Heritage Centre next Saturday!
