On this day in 2008 🗓️ Chris Coleman was appointed Coventry manager! How would you sum up his time there in one word? 👀

Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust
It was great to spend time at Wenlock CE Academy this week. What a fantastic and impressive school which has undergone a massive school improvement journey, lead diligently by Olivia Burke and her wonderful team. Whilst they were busy talking to some important visitors, we ensured that the Year 6 movie night pupils had popcorn. It was great team work. Caldecote CE Academy recently had their SIAMS inspection and I can proudly share that they achieved a J1 and some highlights are here… -        They readily discover the uniqueness of individual pupils and how they can reach their potential. -        Pastoral care is extremely effective -        The school and Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust (DSAMAT) work closely together   There has been much hard work from Sarah Young and her team to achieve this great outcome. I thank them for their hard work. Today the DfE Regional Director for the East of England, Jonathan Duff visited Manshead to see the transformation at the school over such a short period of time. It is such exciting times for the school. It was great to talk, tour and think about our Trust. Jonathan asked throughout how the DfE can support and he was really listening to what we spoke about. Well done Manshead staff for the work that you do. @TW_CE_Academy @diostalbans @stalbansdioedu @COOInclusiveMAT @mrawolfe @Caldecote_CE @NorthillHead @Ravensdenhead @ravensdenps @StJamesHead @UrsulaTaylorSch @mansheadacademy @KensworthCE @StudhamAcademy @WenlockAcademy @TotternhoeCE @Stlceacademy @teachleadaali @trustsafeguard @DavidWoolf16137 @ali_brabs @StLCEacademy

@DeputyGrocott Yes they certainly do! I was ironing uniform at 11pm last Sunday after working all afternoon and evening! Luckily it’s done now! Look after yourself!

Great to be back @CTGtraining to lead a session. Humbled to see so many great trainees talking about pedagogy around questioning - they taught me some great strategies too! Nice to speak to an ex pupil who is now training to be a History teacher. He said I’d inspired him!

I’m so proud of the huge transformation of @leamanorschool over the last couple of years. It’s taken huge effort, resilience and tenacity from everyone. It’s so kind of @Ofstednews to arrange for the most anticipated inspection of my career to be on my big birthday- all heart ❤️

Lovely December day in Southwold! Just what is needed with 1 week to go! We had a debate whether it looked like rogue one or Tatooine? #FamilyBirthdays #TeacherLife

9 years ago we had a stand closed because we couldn’t fill the ground! Now it’s full every week and we are top of the Championship. #PUSB #WLADITT@Coventry_City

I heard the phrase this weekend ‘mental truancy’ and it got me thinking. I wonder how many students are compliant in lessons but mentally truant…

Coventry are now SEVEN points clear at the top of the Championship after beating West Brom as others dropped points. Will Frank Lampard guide them back to the Premier League? 🤔 📈

29 years ago today: A perfect ping from Gary McAllister finds Noel Whelan on the volley. And he gives it a bit of the old Van Basten…

Proud to call this my hometown. If you ever get the chance to visit the 2 cathedrals please do. A story that needs to be continued to be told about how a devastated City clung on and pulled through together!
