Brilliant to hear my old mate @davewhitaker246 speaking at the @MinervaTrust Governor Conference tonight. #UnconditionalPositiveRegard #CaringProfession. Really good provocations and sound educational practice. He practices what he preaches. Really inspiring stuff 👏👏👏

As we come to the end of another busy and successful year, it is brilliant to share some of what we have been up to @MinervaTrust Thanks to all at @OfficialEcco @Chapeltown_A @HGCSC @highstorrs @StocksbridgeHS @woodthorpepri . Check this out: minervalearningtrust.co.uk/newsletters/en…


I had the best time last night at the @highstorrs performance of Anything Goes. It was amazing. So many fabulous performances backed by a great band and a backstage crew making everything run smoothly. A huge amount of work for all the staff involved. Congratulations to all!

Really enjoyed listening to @johndunford general secretary of ASCL from 2010-2019 and @pepediiasio the next one, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities being general secretary brings, particularly walking the line between keeping the membership and govt happy. #ASCL2024

My greatest achievement was putting the holistic development of children at the heart of government policy says @edballs My biggest failure was not persuading Michael Gove that he should do the same. Really interesting perspectives at #ASCL2024

Use the money saved from declining numbers of children in schools and reinvest it back into the schools system to repair the damage of recent funding decline. Great idea @RealGeoffBarton #ASCL2024

Had the best time at the @BarnsleyChoir Christmas concert tonight. The singing is just amazing and the joy they exude just makes me feel happy. Great job @MatWright5 and the rest of your amazing team. 👏👏👏 Barnsley is so lucky to have such a talented organisation at it’s heart

1/2 Today we held our very first Minerva Open Door event… and what a success it was! We opened doors here at @highstorrs to colleagues from across our schools so we could observe some brilliant practice and talk teaching and learning. Such rich CPD for all involved.

Our legendary chair of trustees Ed Wydenbach stepped down from the @MinervaTrust board today. He has spent his whole professional life leading schools and governing bodies championing the most disadvantaged. His calm assurance has been hugely appreciated and we will miss him 👏👏

What's your favourite scene from The Nutcracker? From dancing in the snow to the sassy Mouse King's battle, Uncle Drosselmeyer's magical spells to the famous dance of the Sugarplum Fairy, we can never decide! ❄️ northernballet.com/nutcracker

We’ve got a week of National Professional Qualification conferences lined up for our new starters! Today, we’re excited to meet 128 school leaders on the NPQ in Headship (NPQH) for their first event. It’s going to be a great day of networking and professional development 🙌
