It was a beautiful morning @WestholmeSchool We might need the under soil heating for this weekend’s fixtures! #Lancashire

What an amazing gala!! Thank you to Bury Grammar School for coming over. The atmosphere was electric!! Only 3 points in it, in the end with Bury taking victory. 💜💚🤝👏

A fantastic effort from both teams in a competitive friendly fixture against Stonyhurst! Some great attacking play and solid defence saw moments of brilliance on court. Well done to all players for their determination and teamwork! 👏

@WestholmeSport And they played some brilliant netball tonight. Well played, girls!

🏆 Double Victory! 🏆 Our Year 7 netball teams smashed it, winning both of their fixtures! Incredible teamwork, determination, and skill on display. Well done, everyone! 🎉👏 #WinningStreak #TeamSpirit

A good number of swimmers for Development Swimming this lunchtime. We're continuing working on our stroke technique & pool entries.

Last evening, we held our Soloists' Recital for Senior students, in front of family and friends 🎤🎵 We saw a wide range of instruments played and songs performed across the evening. It was great to hear the variety of music that was played. Well done to everyone involved 💜💚

There was such a great buzz around the #Lancashire junior chess tournament yesterday @WestholmeSchool @WestholmePrep @LancashireChess

I’m thrilled to share our Head Boy’s success in gaining a place to study at @UniofOxford next year. Enrikas joined us for the Sixth Form @WestholmeSF from @StBedesRCHS who must be equally delighted. @WestholmeSchool

Fantastic news for Fynlay! Looking forward to sharing more of these successes each week. @WestholmeSchool @WestholmeSport @WestholmeSF @lancstelegraph @BBCLancsSport

@PCTaylor45 @HWRK_Magazine @SusanDavid_PhD Interesting. I'm in a no book buying phase, but I'll bookmark and see if it's on audible (which doesn't count in the fast 😉)

Excellent on teacher development, agency and self-drive. @HWRK_Magazine buff.ly/3C51vZC So, fellow educators, ask yourselves: What drives you? If your motivation extends beyond titles and monetary rewards, your journey will be one of continual growth and meaningful impact

Time to rethink revision! ⏳ Students often spend too much or too little time revising. Find out how to get it just right for better results: bit.ly/40qPGVQ

@greeborunner @HWRK_Magazine I read a great book over Christmas called Emotional Agility by @SusanDavid_PhD In it, she looks at the idea of plateauing, a danger, I think, for us all.

@PCTaylor45 @HWRK_Magazine very curious about what motivates others too and how to both utilise this to benefit pupils and provide a more fulfilling experience for adults.

@PCTaylor45 @HWRK_Magazine This was significant for me. Nobody was pushing my development, but a sense of moral purpose, doing things that would be better for pupils/better for staff was motivational. I'm also intellectually curious, so that's a key driver. The more I know, the more I want to know. I'm 1/2

Learning is like eating a giant pizza: One slice at a time is enjoyable, but the whole thing at once? 🍕🤯 Presenting material in small steps helps students digest information better. Find out more here ⤵️ bit.ly/40FuIUI

Bracing morning but some fantastic football @WestholmeSport today against Tauheedul Boys’.

For all the children, parents and coaches getting up this morning for an exciting weekend of sport, @frankdickcoach defines what winning today really means. @WestholmeSport m.youtube.com/watch?v=wIrdZ9…

U16 @WestholmeSchool hockey team represented Lancashire in the Regional Tier 2 Championships yesterday. In all 4 matches determination, grit and outstanding teamwork was on display. Be very proud of your performances at this high level competition. #YouWereAllAmazing
