This afternoon I talked to the Outer East Deputy Headteachers group at Fusion Court in Garforth...

My message was we want to be world class; whatever it takes! We want every child to experience the very best early years provision to build the foundations for learning. We want every child to be reader by eight and to be about to count and use number. We want every child to become a brilliant little learner by eleven with high aspirations and expectations working within a vibrant, exciting and creative curriculum designed and delivered locally. And we want every young person to be supported and coached as they transfer to their secondry school and be on a pathway to success by sixteen.

It was great to be able to talk to these colleagues about how we continue to release the magic and the WOW factor in every school and every classroom. We need to ensure that everyone shares our passion, enthusiasm, persistence, determination and hard work as we build brilliant learning where every child and every young person is happy, healthy, safe and increasingly successful.
