TEAMstudent 8 March 2024
Fri 08 Mar 2024Wow, can you believe that it is already the beginning of March? Did you know that 1 March is classed as the first day of Spring? I hope that you have had a restful half term break! We have a very full and fun-packed month of March for you, not only do we celebrate Mother’s Day, we have World Book Day, Science Week, collaboration day called ‘Out of this World’ (a space themed event that some of you will be attending). Plus we will see Sarah Baker, (our CEO) and the judging team to come over and look at all the seeds that you have been growing for the CEO Challenge.

TEAMtalk 8 March 2024
Fri 08 Mar 2024Thank you to everyone that attended the CEO Chat earlier this week, we have provided a summary of what was discussed on page 3.
As an avid reader myself, World Book Day is one of my favourite times of year, it’s great to share in each others love of reading, learn about other peoples favourite books and I always discover a new book to read.
Over the last few weeks I have had the privilege to visit our schools and engage in insightful meetings, and witnessing firsthand the incredible work being done by our staff. I have also had the pleasure of visiting special schools in Bradford in my Trustee role, and enjoyed being able to see parallels with our lead school Stubbin Wood.
Next Wednesday we are hosting a SEND Conference with a total of 175 delegates set to attend and multiple workshops with different focuses, I am looking forward to sharing what we learn, and thank you in advance to everyone who has helped organise the event.
On 20 March it is our next Student Collaboration Day and it’s going to be Out of this World! Staff members from the Central Team and Stubbin Wood have been working incredibly hard on the decorations and organisation of this event. We can’t wait to see it come to fruition!
Yesterday members of Central TEAM attended the National MAT Awards and I am so pleased to announce that TEAM Education Trust has won The Inclusion Award. Thank you to everyone, for your dedication to this cause.

TEAMwellbeing 1 March 2024
Fri 01 Mar 2024As Spring is nearly upon us, I for one have started to feel the benefits already, with lighter mornings and evenings already brightening my day. Since September 2023, we have been undertaking a monthly wellbeing challenge to try and encourage us all to participate in taking positive steps in enhancing our own positive mindset, changing our habits and building our resilience. If you’ve not managed to take part in the challenges, now is the time to make use of the lighter mornings and evenings and spring into action! This months challenge is all about revisiting what we have been doing since September. We reinforce and repeat learning to our pupils, so I thought it would be good to encourage you to engage in some of the activities we have done so far, or maybe something you didn’t quite get around to doing.

TEAMstudent 16 February 2024
Fri 16 Feb 2024Hello again, I hope you have all had a good week. Time seems to have flown by and some of our schools have already started their half term break. It’s nice to see that the evenings are getting lighter and not quite as dark now, and we are starting to get a feeling that spring will soon be on its way!
Over the half term, I know that I will be enjoying pancakes! Do you know what my favourite topping is? I enjoy strawberries and cream, but and this one might make you think yuk... I enjoy a cheese and marmite pancake! I would be interested to hear about your favourite topping or how many you have managed to eat...

TEAMtalk 16 February 2024
Fri 16 Feb 2024As we bid farewell to the first half term of 2024, we are thrilled to share the latest happenings from our schools and the variety of experiences that have enriched our school communities. Throughout these past few months, we’ve weathered literal storms and managed a number of projects to develop our projects at Stubbin Wood This term has been marked by resilience, growth and memorable moments. One highlight was our highly positive Trustee and Member Joint Strategy Day, where innovative ideas and collaborative strategies took centre stage, propelling us forward on our journey of educational excellence.

TEAMwellbeing February 2024
Fri 02 Feb 2024Our daily lives are always so busy, and it’s not always easy to make changes, with time being the key reason as why our habits remain the same. We all seem to share that sentiment.
However, it is important that we do prioritise ourselves and make sure we are looking ourselves as much as we do for others. Even the smallest of change can have the biggest impact. So, when reflecting on what you can change, no matter how big or small, make sure it is something that supports you and promotes your own self care and wellbeing.

Fri 02 Feb 2024It feels like we are starting to talk about half term already, where has January gone?!
We ran our first Business and Community Breakfast inviting our PTAs to pitch for support from our local businesses and how they can further support TEAM students and the wider community. The businesses are now meeting with me individually to follow up on the support they can offer to us.

TEAMparent Christmas 2023
Thu 21 Dec 2023As we approach the end of term, It’s been a delight to reflect on all of the wonderful things that have taken place over trust schools since September. This term saw an increase in parents attending coffee mornings in all of the schools and we launched the Multiply project, which has been successful in supporting parents to improve their maths (and a number of other skills) along the way.
