In this month’s edition we find out more about our MAT Board Chair and one of our SW principals, our CEO explains some of the background to The Avanti Way and we learn about how some of our teachers are using the work of Rosenshine and Hattie to accelerate learning. Also check out some of the recommended books and websites.
