Thanks to @springboardopp for assisting our Year 13's today. As part of their enrichment programme they helped out with the Year 8 football tournament. The staff at Springboard brought the treats and merchandise and we thank them for their continued support 💙💛 #enrichment

A powerful letter. A teacher argued with me, here, that they don't use to work 'failure' to describe not passing the transfer. But the word does not have to be said for failure to be felt deep in the heart of a child.

Fellow SEAG Parents, Tomorrow's results measure how our 10/11yr olds answered 112 questions in Nov. Not their worth or character. Whatever their score, a bright future is still ahead with many opportunities yet to come. So here's to all our change makers - SEAG or no SEAG!
