Teach like a Champion
Paradigm Trust’s vision is ‘to develop and sustain great schools where we can make the biggest difference to pupils’. A large group of senior staff, including six Principals, two Early Years leads, a SENCO, a curriculum leader, two improvement advisers and our CEO had the opportunity to spend two fantastic days studying and practising the art and craft of teaching. Facilitated by Doug Lemov, author of the renowned text, ‘Teach like a Champion 2.0‘, this was a clear demonstration of the importance the Trust places on developing great staff and improving teaching practice.

Value of community
One of the values of the Paradigm Trust is:
Community -Working together; learning from, and supporting, others.
Student ambassadors from Ipswich Academy put this value into action by visiting Murrayfield Primary and Piper’s Vale Primary academies last week to talk to their student councils about fundraising ideas for the Elmer Project.
