This is utterly fantastic #thisisAP
Thank you to Ham & High for publishing our Haringey Learning Partnership students’ remarkable A-Level results alongside those from mainstream sixth forms. These outcomes confirm that we are an alternative, but never inferior, provision. Huge congratulations to our brilliant young people! #ThisIsAP

I massively appreciate that you’re insanely busy and it’s a long survey (you don’t have to respond to every question!).
But this is a big opportunity for positive change…

This is likely to be of interest to those who support children in mainstream school but also within PRU and AP #thisisAP
Very proud of my latest book, which is due out in January! It feels timely in lots of ways and I hope it offers people some new possibilities for supporting behaviour. 😊 #edusky
