Our 1st Xmas with Imogen & whenever we reach a milestone like this I’m reminded of how important teaching, schools & teachers are. Families entrust us with their most precious people. I think it’s important we embrace the weight of this. justonethingafteranotherblog.wordpress.com/2025/08/08/t...

Yesterday we took over 100 aspiring headteachers to @reachschools.bsky.social and it was pretty astonishing. Huge thanks to Rebecca Cramer, Tilly Browne, Louis Everett and Manjit Moore along with all of the staff, pupils and wider community in Feltham. The schools are very, very special.

High expectations, warm-strict and school fun enough to get 98% attendance last year. Find out how on my latest blogpost for Reach Out below!

In 2015, I decided to invest time in learning what the schools with the best exam outcomes do. It was probably the most important decision I made in my career. These schools have a lot more in common than they do differences & many of these things can be adopted straight away in any context.

From my latest blogpost on my love of teaching and how with its challenges it’ll always be so worth it. Teachers matter and being entrusted with others’ children is the greatest privilege. It leads to moments like my little Imogen’s first Uber!

Look at this video of our children talking about the books they love! ALL our children now love reading but only 36% of them were reading at or above their chronological reading age in Sept. One of the major successes of this founding year! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SwS... @lilystaff.bsky.social

Year 7 love reading!

Really proud of the progress our Year 7s have made with reading this year! In September only 37% were at or above their reading age compared with 75% now. Short thread below on how we have achieved this. 🧵

We’ve achieved a lot this academic year so far but our biggest bets were on behaviour/ culture, attendance & reading. Thanks to Charlie & rest of the team our attendance YTD is 98.2% & I’m super proud of how confident, articulate & kind our children are. Then SO proud of @lilystaff.bsky.social’s…

So many excellent headlines from our academic data yesterday but still my favourite figure is our attendance YTD of 98.2%. Our children genuinely love school and we love teaching them. It’s such a happy place!

So loved hearing our team talk so passionately about the extraordinary academic progress of our children but also so determinedly about what must now happen yesterday. It’s been the greatest privilege of my career founding a school with this team, children and their families.
