Great to have @GHRWestMids pop into @BournvilleSch to interview our Head Boy and Head Girl candidates. Perfect timing as the whole country heads to the polls… our pupils are learning about democracy in real life. 🗳️💬

Bournville School has opened a new facility for pupils with special needs. A space they can go when classes get overwhelming and somewhere they can learn practical skills alongside their everyday classes.

Smith’s Wood Academy has improved in all areas, following its Ofsted Inspection 🚀 No other school in the country, has seen a bigger transformation under the new framework 🙌 Leadership, behaviour & attendance all at ‘expected standard’ No areas cause any significant concern

✨One of the schools I now work with - Smith’s Wood Academy -has mentors walking the corridors to offer support to students. To mark #childrensmentalhealthweek I met some of the team @MWIMPACT - who are working to normalise these conversations particularly among teenage boys.

Huge respect for Chris Clacken who treats youth mentorship as a 'lifelong' commitment 🙏 I went along to see one of the music sessions he runs, in Dudley, as part of the Community Skills and Knowledge Network (CSKN) and asked him what his job is really like #MyTomorrow
