I really enjoyed delivering this session with @joanne_bryce3 today. It was great to see the hard work and dedication from Year 11 students on their historic environment studies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Incredible morning today with Y11 scholars readying themselves for the History GCSE. Superb focus, great commitment and ensuring Every Minute Matters. Big thanks to our History Dept and guest @joanne_bryce3 and @JamesRawlins90 for their hard work. #BestInBarnsley

I'm not sure what "SEND training" is given the term is an umbrella term. However, if it is going to be any good at all, there needs a serious unpicking of the evidence base urgently - it's rife with ideology, preferences and vested interests (who will be very excited by £200m).

2.5yrs ago, half of the children were persistently absent. People had a lot to say about us. Thanks to the team, with a special mention to Alex Clifford, @misslmyates and Brenda Fraser, we are one of the most improved schools in the country.
