Today we had the pleasure of a visit from the RAF in a Chinook. The students got to watch it land and take off during their lunch break. It was a great experience, which followed on well from the RAF STEAM workshops year 10 experienced last week. pic.twitter.com/KiJLOUCfY2

We're really excited to be a Thinking Reading school. First sessions are underway and going well. Thank you to  for all the support so far!Thinking Reading ()Leaps & bounds is right! Students catch up very rapidly – two months’ progress per half-hour lesson on average. No one else produces this rate of progress with students reading three or more years behind. The average gain is five years in six months on the programme.—  https://x.com/ThinkReadHQ/status/1986342927568699875
