I’m delighted to  be speaking at the next @MATPartNet  #MATPN South West Event in Bristol in October. It is great to see AP remains firmly on the agenda and looking forward to connecting with other leaders and sharing innovation.

Great to be there on behalf of @OliveAcademies and the APSEND CEO Network. I have a strong sense of optimism about the new gov’t’s desire to work with schools & specialist settings to help shape the lives of all pupils we work with so they can be successful in education & beyond.

Tonight we’ve opened the doors @educationgovuk, to discuss how we can work together to drive up standards & break down barriers to opportunity. We’re resetting the relationship between government and stakeholders so we can be partners in the push for better.

It was an honour to be invited to speak on this podcast, and always a pleasure to hear directly from young people on the true impact our approach has on their relationship with education. Definitely worth a listen!

We were delighted to join the @Ofstednews podcast this week where we discussed what a high quality AP looks like and the importance of alternative provision in the wider education offer. Well done to one of our students for sharing her experience too! podbean.com/ep/pb-97i7v-15…

We are all so proud of our students for making the most of this wonderful opportunity thanks to the OA Foundation. Thanks for the staff @OAHavering for making the trip happen. #ThisisAP

Five students from @OAHavering recently jetted off to Pila, Italy for a ski adventure! ⛷️ Students honed their skills on the slopes and make unforgettable memories. Thanks to OA Foundation and of course the staff for making this happen! #AP #AlternativeProvision #enrichment

A particular highlight for me in this guidance is the great practice examples from schools;but more than that-schools from across the sector;mainstream/special &alternative provision 🤩 BRILLIANT to see AP highlighted for their practice in this #thisisap @wave_multi 🏸🎾⚾️🏀🏏🏄

We’re introducing new non-statutory guidance on PE to ensure girls and boys from all backgrounds have equal access to sport and can enjoy PE for 2 hours a week 🏅🏐🎾🏀🏏 Read more in the guidance ⬇️ gov.uk/government/pub…
