Lovely to see Class of 2025 and 2027 achievement and destinations banners proudly displayed at @AstreaAcadSheff. Showing younger scholars the top of the mountain, so they can believe they can achieve similar success to their peers as they climb their mountain. Making it real.

I would ask @bphillipsonMP to visit the highest performing schools in the country & ask staff:
1. Why do ALL of your children succeed in & enjoy Maths & English (including disadvantaged)?
2. How do you ensure behaviour is excellent?
3. How do you achieve such high attendance?

This is a great video describing what is essentially the strategy of the best schools. The dominant approach, however, is everyone shuts their doors and teaches. I’ve worked in both types of schools. There is no contest: the alignment school is much more effective and satisfying.
