At @strive4.bsky.social , we are always looking for ways to not only recruit the right people—ensuring our children receive the very best teaching—but also to retain and develop them throughout their careers. #Inductionisjustthestart

This morning, we explored the benefits of various forms of CPD, from formal INSET to experiential learning, reflecting on what is working well and identifying areas for further enhancement. 🌟⭐️

My first Headteacher, Gloria Middleton, was the inspiration behind my teaching career. She was also my aunt. Gloria had a rare ability to connect with every child, even those who were hardest to reach. She was inventive and resourceful, the entrance fee to a school disco?—a toilet roll!

We’re thrilled to share our Pocket Pedagogy Cards with the amazing staff at @strive4.bsky.social. Now, you can have the essentials of the Strive4 Enhanced Toolkit right in your pocket—practical, accessible, and ready to inspire.

Roy Blatchford has inspired me every step of the way in my leadership roles. He is right about this and about most things!

Another great day with the Autumn 24 Cohort of leaders for their NPQLT Face to Face event.

Shoutout to my coach for always making feedback sessions something to look forward to. No matter what, they’re met with a smile, encouragement, and a positive approach. Growth is easier when you have the right people supporting you. Amazing response to #steplab coaching!

Final preparations are underway as we get ready to welcome the Autumn 2024 Cohort to their second face-to-face event for the NPQLT at Strive4 Academy Trust later this week. Looking forward to another inspiring day! Best Practice network #NPQF2F
