Yesterday’s ace #rEDBrum wouldn’t have happened without my colleagues. From the support of the fab @LiftSchools tech team to the ace @Lauren_J_Atkiss & @RickardsScience helping behind the scenes. But the biggest shout out is to my partner in crime, @R_Atton. What a complete star!

School improvement is complex and hard. But for the first time in *years* we have a waiting list for Year 7 in September, and families calling us every day about whether they have a place. Proper landmark moment for us 💛💙

We were thrilled to host @researchEDBrum at FDA last Saturday. 600 delegates and speakers from right across the UK (and beyond!) all sharing evidence-informed approaches for what works in teaching. Our pupil ambassadors were wonderful. We’re so proud of them! #rEDBrum

Home after a brilliant day at @researchEDBrum. A massive thank you to @stoneman_claire & @R_Atton +students & staff at Four Dwellings Academy for all the hard work. To repurpose something Claire said in her intro, what an 'extraordinary statement of purpose' today was. #rEDBrum
