Sparx Reader, maths and Science are integral to @astreaacademies approach to fluency and are set for all scholars as homework every week. We are now seeing the impact of this in scholar's knowledge retention and academic outcomes. Such a great tool to raise achievement 🤩

Is this just me and I'm being daft? "Biweekly" has always stumped me, so I googled and now I'm even more confused... 🤔 I hope I never have to see a doctor for health checks biweekly as in example.

We are delighted that two of Fulwood Academy's pupils were among the top 25 pupils in the country to achieve the most amount of Sparx reader points over the summer. A huge congratulations to Urooj and Fahim. 📚

Huge respect to all the incredible teachers who do so much to support our young people to realise their potential. This was me back in the day after my first full year of teaching, asleep at a student desk 1 min after the bell, wiped out after how exhausting it all can be. Thank teachers so much! #WorldTeachersDay2024
