Very very proud of @AAWoodfields in the @astreaacademies annual report. We have worked so incredibly hard to turnaround one of the schools in this country that has needed it most. The people that did it were our amazing staff and our incredible scholars.

I remember going to my first interview for Head of Science, and soon after, my first interview for Assistant Headteacher back in 2011. It's a different ball game to normal teaching interviews. Join us on 20th March and I'll de-mystify it all!

Exactly this. For the many or the few? And for the few, how can we help and support them to turn their lives around - in a specialist setting. No school community should have to fear for their safety, and having served in a school that suffered a triple murder, the grief.

The default position of a school that finds a knife in a student should be an immediate suspension, with a presumption to exclude except in the most extenuating of circumstances (eg it was planted on them). The safety of children is sacred. Exclusion doesn’t mean the student is ‘cast out of society’- they are placed in another setting, preferably a specialist one. This may even provide the young person with a better environment in which to change. But every other child in the school threatened by a knife deserves their rights and needs to be upheld by us. And that means excluding any child with a knife. They need to know ‘this will happen to me if I carry’. Which maximises the deterrent, and reassures students, staff and parents: we are safe
