Another assistant headteacher is @Clive_Hill who started after Easter. He leads 6 people who are responsible for praise, sanctions, behaviours… everything that keeps lessons disruption free. He has led us being the first truly phone free school in Doncaster.

@ricardo_smooth1 is an Assistant Headteacher. In his first year he ran the sixth form, led personal development and set up our award winning family dining programme. He did that alongside turning around corridor behaviour with the team and teaching. He is an energetic force!

Matt Allison is an assistant principal. He set up a suite of internal provision in his first year and is our SENDCO at the same time. SEND attendance is up 10% in one year, suspensions are down 30%. This is while doing duties, supervising break, lunch and doing send reviews.

I'm lucky to work in a school where if I ask for support from my classroom it arrives, often within minutes. I also know that is due to the time spent every morning, before school, in senior leadership, working out how that support can be provided. @AAWoodfields
@TheHudsonLives I do feel for you and understand the type of school you are talking about, I have worked in them. This school, and many others are not like that. I am a headteacher who is rarely in his office, like my SLT. We back staff and sort problems out.

@AAWoodfields runs @DofE Bronze and Silver awards with 20 scholars already at Bronze and more to come. Of entrants we are on track to get 100% of those entering silver to convert. Astonishing work by Mr McClune and the PE team.

2.5yrs ago, half of the children were persistently absent. People had a lot to say about us. Thanks to the team, with a special mention to Alex Clifford, @misslmyates and Brenda Fraser, we are one of the most improved schools in the country.

Rachel is hard working and dedicated. She supports children to achieve their best and holds the line where it is needed. She is thorough and always does her best. Parents and scholars love her approach, and I know that she has some tricks up her sleeve for the prom this year!

Every parent and scholar that I come across tells me how considerate and caring Derran is. She goes and above and beyond to make children feel understood. Behind the scenes she does huge amounts of work ensuring that everyone works together for the benefit of children.

@MrTeece_ @MrDavidScales My daughter attends this school - I admit we didn’t apply here - she was placed but from the very start we were impressed! Yes there are strict policies - nothing wrong with this! She’s receiving a good education in a safe school with the values needed to succeed 👍

I don't know @MrDavidScales personally but have followed his journey. He came under a lot of flak here for so many things but as is often the case his efforts and holding the line have transformed a school that was struggling. Great job and well done.
We have had similar BIG jumps in attendance two years on the bounce. Leading the charge was Alex Clifford whose attention to detail and absolute determination enabled others like Brenda Fraser to move MOUNTAINS. The community has come with us and I am very grateful.
