Last Thursday, we hosted our biggest and best Year 6 Open Evening ever, with more than 800 people joining us! 🤩 Feedback received mentions how friendly, confident, and passionate our student volunteers were. We know our scholars always do a great job showing off our school, so

The VP roles are how I started out in Astrea, and as a result @AAWoodfields is now Secondary School of the Year. If you join Astrea you are surrounded by serious people who improve schools quickly. My view would be to drop what you’re doing and apply.
