Yes - a school not spoken about enough. Waterside is the scene of maybe the greatest school improvement miracle there has been.

We are recruiting for a role very, very close to my heart. Come and lead our English team who have started to forge a legacy in the heart of Leeds. A few reasons to check this opportunity out below...

Tom Bennett OBE The position that I actually hold is that if the evidence changes I change. Hard to do a natural sciences degree and not be like that. When I started I held all those positions. I saw how bad those schools were, including the one I now lead. It’s now better doing the opposites.

If you really care about kids with SEMH needs, think upstream and improve your whole school culture. Fiddling with interventions will have you chasing your tail with diminishing returns.

Once again, The Labour Party and Bridget Phillipson deciding to make behaviour a keystone issue has only upsides. It's FREE, plays to the socially authoritarian base we're losing, and will, actually, improve schools. 'We're making school safe for YOUR child.'

Off to bluesky - too much AI generated slurry, far right scummery, weird sexualised ads and general tedium. Have really enjoyed contributing to debates on here. I'm still ianwhite21 over there.
