It is National Careers Week 2023!
National Careers Week (NCW) is a celebration of careers guidance and free resources in education across the UK. The aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance activity at an important stage in the academic calendar to help support young people leaving education.
On Wednesday our school improvement partner, Steve Ruddy visited Heworth.
Steve is a fully qualified Ofsted inspector who has inspected hundreds of schools throughout his career. During the day, he visited lessons, spoke to students and staff, looked at pupils’ work, and spent time mixing with the pupils and staff during breaks and lunch times. The day was a success and reflected the progress that Heworth Grange has made. Steve said, “This is the best I have ever seen Heworth Grange” and that “Pupils benefit from a positive learning experience.” He also noted that “staff went tout of their way to secure good relations with pupils.”
Thank you to everyone for your continued effort with attendance.
It is so important to ensure every young person is at school engaged in their learning unless they are genuinely ill. The team will continue to do welfare checks in person wherever possible.
If you need any support with attendance please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Anderson our attendance manager.
