Year 1 was on a trip to Sevington Victorian School yesterday and today. Here are a few photos of the children having 'recreation time', writing with ink pens, doing gardening and lining up to go to school. We had an amazing time! @PalladianTrust

Across the school this week, classes have been taking part in the Ultimate Character Championship! Children have had to choose their favourite literary character and use their oracy to debate over which is best! @PalladianTrust @voice21oracy

The Willow children had so much fun decorating their pancakes with honey, blueberries and bananas! @PalladianTrust

Fascinating visit to the excellent @combe_down today as part of an inter-Trust Disadvantaged Strategy review. The use of @voice21oracy was exceptional, as was the adaptive teaching across the school. Hope to bring leaders from @trust_leaf to see it soon.
