***LITERACY STANDARDS*** Literacy lies at the heart of everything we do. We know that strong reading, writing, and speaking skills are essential for students to fully engage with our ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum and to succeed in all areas of life. That’s why we prioritise developing high levels of literacy across all subjects. @MissCole279 has worked hard with our literacy lead to bring our strategy to life throughout school. @Doug_Lemov @WALKTHRUs_5 @teacherhead @olicav #TheLongdendaleLegacy

*** LONGDENDALE BACCALAUREATE*** Our LHS Bacc is a key strategy to support our students to discover who they are, building skills that will last a lifetime, and creating a legacy they can be proud of. A personal journey to become the best version of themselves. Just like the Duke of Edinburgh Award, the LHS Bacc provides a clear, exciting framework to challenge students, show their character, and celebrate their achievements—all while living our school values of Aspiration, Respect and Resilience. #TheLongdendaleLegacy

Yesterday I married the love of my life! ❤️ 👏 🍾 🥂

As a sector, I don’t think as much attention has been paid to implementing the curriculum as it has to the pedagogy to teach it. It’s a bit like going into a restaurant where all the effort has gone in to making it look amazing: /1
