We are proud to celebrate three colleagues recognised in the John Taylor MAT ‘Cheers for Peers’ awards for demonstrating the Trust values of Restlessness and Curiosity.
A special congratulations to Mr Lloyd, our first ever Values Champion. He has made a significant impact by securing Beacon School status for CTA through University College London, placing us among just 15 schools nationally recognised for excellence in Holocaust education. This achievement also brought the Quality Mark in Teaching Excellence, highlighting consistently outstanding practice.
We also celebrate Miss Blackham and Mrs Stretton, both nominated for going above and beyond in their roles. Miss Blackham was recognised for her dedication to our school production Into the Woods Jr, including running a costume club and giving her own time to support students, alongside her work supporting trainee teachers across the Trust.
Mrs Stretton was nominated for her relentless drive to understand the lived experience of neurodiverse pupils and find the right adjustments that make a real difference. She is constantly reading, researching and asking thoughtful questions – often in her own time – to ensure the latest insights are applied in our setting.
A fantastic achievement – well done to all three!
