Caroline speaks to Vicky Musson, Director of Education at the Mill Academy Trust. Vicky shares the incredible journey undertaken at one of the two primary schools in the Trust, Queen Emma’s, from RI to Good using a range of well-considered interventions, relentless routines and an inclusive curriculum approach. Although in a fairly affluent area in the Cotswolds, the school has had to overcome many challenges including a high proportion of disadvantaged and SEND children, being undersubscribed, teacher retention issues, and very low reading scores. An inspirational listen for any primary senior leaders.
