This year all three of our academies are launching a new approach to assessment and reporting. One element of this change is in the language we will be using to describe the level of engagement a student demonstrates in their lessons.
Educating the educators is a responsibility and a commitment we do not take lightly.
In the October of 2018 The Hayesbrook School and The High Weald Academy embarked on a collaboration with Edurio and The Institute of Education to participate in some ground-breaking research into staff well-being and working conditions.
Yesterday, The Hayesbrook School welcomed the Mayor of Tonbridge and Malling, Jill Anderson, to attend the Brook Learning Trust (BLT) Games to award the Winners Shield and Sportsperson Cups.
Leaders from both The High Weald Academy and The Hayesbrook School attended a presentation by Carolyn Roberts, Chair of ASCL's Ethical Leadership Commission, hosted by Altius Teaching last night. This enjoyable and thought provoking event motivated leaders to ensure that these key principles are at the heart of our academies in all we do and say. 'Living the values to help young people do the same'.
