Head of Secondary Blog - 6th October 2019
What an amazing Arts Week it has been with the department organizing an array of different activities ranging from Rock ´n Roll to Fashion, Hip Hop to the OPUS woodwind group. The week began with an introduction to the clarinet, oboe, bassoon and flute.....all sounding amazing but my favorite is the Bassoon, what a beautifully deep, rich sound!!! Highlighting just why the arts are important was the theme of the three days and ended with me sharing my perspective on the arts and my journey. Nord Anglia Education has an exclusive partnership with Juilliard which delights me because I am an avid admirer of the arts. People who know me are aware that I was a keen footballer and now a coach but did you know that I was a ballet dancer until my later teenage years. Whilst I was listening to Ms Baldwin speak about the importance of the arts and the journey they can take you on, a journey of personal exploration, I fondly recalled my days on the stage.

Head of Primary Blog - Enjoying the Process Over the Product
As teachers we want our students to be curious, to discover things and to investigate. If we want children to be excited about the world around them, they need the freedom to be fully immersed in the learning and to be engaged in following their own unique style they need to be engaged in the joy of doing rather than the final product.

Head of Primary Blog - Make the Ordinary Come Alive
I hope we all had a wonderful long weekend last week and managed to find time just to be, to be playful and to enjoy a slower pace for a few days. I was fortunate enough to spend time in the countryside and to begin my exploration of this amazing country. I really took advantage of the peace and tranquility that being in nature can bring and I was reminded of a wonderful poem by William Martin*
