The children enjoyed coming forwards one by one to put their own decoration on the tree.

This morning we decorated our tree! We discussed the meaning behind advent. We reflected on our value if the month being ‘Hope’ and how Christmas is a time for hope, light, peace and joy.

Today, we gathered together for Remembrance Day. In line with our Great Gaddesden Be’s, we showed how we are reflective, empathetic, observant and thoughtful. The children shared a range of prayers and poems. We were also joined by parents and neighbours. #WeWillRememberThem

Fantastic news! Have just ordered a copy and I am looking forward to reading! #NoOutsiders #InclusiveEducation

The first week of the summer term and that means four new cohorts of NPQs - NPQLT, NPQH, NPQLBC and NPQSL and over 100 new participants embarking on their journey. More to come next week! Thank you to all of our amazing facilitators and host schools!

On Monday we held our first ever Pupil Parliament Day, hosted by Mr Beach, Assistant Principal at Hammond Academy. Children from our 6 schools came together to discuss their schools and share ideas for the future: aspireacademiestrust.org.uk/2024/03/27/asp…

We’re seeking an ASSISTANT HEADTEACHER/Inclusion & Pastoral Support Lead. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and identities to join our vibrant and inclusive community @Teachinherts teachinherts.com/find-a-job/vie…

Very powerful way for us as educators to develop inclusive curriculums and experiences. Mirrors- how do learners feel their own identity is represented? Where do they see themselves? Windows- how do we teach about a wide range of different cultures, identities and experiences?
