Our First Years are off on their big adventure! 🎢✨
They set off from school at 10pm last night, full of excitement, and landed in Manchester ready to go! No time to waste though—today they jumped straight into a fun-filled day of thrills and laughter at Alton Towers, all under glorious sunshine ☀️

Instead of asking:

❌ “What mark did you get?”

Try asking:

✅ What went right?
✅ What went wrong?
✅ What’s the plan for next time?

Small questions help students reflect and improve.

🎯 Encourage your son to write one target in his Yellow Tracker this week.
