        <description><![CDATA[I&amp;rsquo;ll start this week by addressing our front page on the Plymouth Evening Herald! To say I was frustrated, disappointed, baffled even, is an understatement. As you are aware we put in a planning application for a fence around the school as we are probably one of the only schools in the south west that is a completely open site. Unfortunately, in this day and age, we cannot have the general public walking through school and despite me having little interest in the fence and much preferring to focus my time on improving the school, it was clear there was a need to erect one. The Evening Herald have tried to drag up some events that may or may not have happened from many years ago to try and create a story. I hope I made my view on this clear during a Radio Devon interview this morning. I now want to focus on my main priority, improving our student&amp;rsquo;s life chances in a safe environment.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Some great news to start my blog this week, we managed to raise a staggering &amp;pound;1884.34 last Friday for the humanitarian effort to support the displaced refugees from Ukraine. This was by no means a political statement, but one of compassion for those who have been forced to flee their homes. It&amp;rsquo;s times like these that I am particularly proud to be Headteacher at Lipson and would like to thank the students, parents and staff for their support in this worthwhile cause.]]></description>

We have received some truly moving messages of condolence which we are in the process of combining into a book for Stevie&amp;rsquo;s family to keep. The funeral is set to take place next Thursday, with more detail to follow.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, there is only one place to start this week and that is to pay tribute to Science teacher Stevie Mitchell who sadly passed away on Monday. Stevie was a popular and well-respected colleague who will be sadly missed by thosewho worked with him and he had a big impact on many of the students that he taught. It was difficult having to communicate the news with staff and students at the start of the week but the response from everyone has been quite overwhelming. It is at times like this that we see what a very special place Lipson is and I really can&#39;tthank the whole school community enough for the way that they have responded.]]></description>

We started the week with the release of our Ofsted report and the positive nature of the report meant that we received dozens of messages of congratulations from parents, colleagues and the wider educational community. As nice as it is to get such accolades, it is extremelyimportant to rememberthat the praise really needs to go to our students and staff for what they have achieved. It is also important that we all realise that we still have work to do here if Lipson is to become the great school again that we all believe it can become.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I was incredibly moved yesterday as Lipson held its first, whole school Remembrance Service, led by our Combined Cadet Force. MP Luke Pollard was in attendance as students behaved impeccably. Head Boy and Girl recited &amp;lsquo;In Flanders Fields&amp;rsquo;, followed by Mr Martin playing &amp;lsquo;The Last Post&amp;rsquo; and a 2-minute silence. All in attendance stood in complete silence and reflected on the sacrifice others had made in order to give us our freedom. One of my proudest moments at Lipson, it was clear to see the respect our students had by their fantastic behaviour. Please click here to watch a short video of the parade.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of ending last week by undertaking interviews for Head Boy and Girl in the 6th Form. The calibre of candidate was so high that we ended up creating an extra position of Executive Head Boy. This prestigious accolade went to Cherno Sumareh, with Rowan Barzingie securing Head Boy and Holly Nankivell, Head Girl. There is no doubt that these students have their work cut out with all the fantastic initiatives they have planned for the student body and I&#39;m really excited to see these projects come to fruition.]]></description>

Something that many schools havenâ€™t been able to offer after the disruption of the past 18 months, we felt it was far too important to miss. The evening was fantastic and students and staff got to celebrate in style at this rite of passage. Please look at our social media for all the photographs.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Welcome to the start of the new academic year which is proving to be very successful already. Our new Year 7 students have started to settle in well and find their way around the school site. They have dealt with the transition from primary to secondary school very well and have taken class tests in their stride. We all know the transition between schools can be a little daunting but this was made easier with so many of our newest students attending summer school in August. They got to know lots of the staff and had a taster of the fantastic facilities on offer at Lipson. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of our new students as the weeks go on.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As this will be the last blog to go out for this academic year I thought it would be a good time to sum up where we have got to as a school during the last year. Firstly, I should say that it has been an extraordinary year in so many ways but despite having to work at times in some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable, I believe that we have continued to move forward as a school in so many ways. When our most recent Ofsted report is released, I am confident it will recognise the progress that we are making but that we are always still looking for ways to improve our school.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As we move towards the end of term, it has been quite a tricky week for us all in school. Unfortunately, the impact of the pandemic can still be clearly seen in and around Plymouth and over the last couple of days we have had to deal with positive tests and the implications of them across four different year groups. I cannot thank parents enough for the way that they continue to respond to the phone calls informing them that their son or daughter has to be isolated. We are in extraordinary times but in moments like these the support of the parent body and the wider community makes things easier than they might otherwise be.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It has felt like quite a week at Lipson. As if the stresses and strains of supporting England in the Euros was not enough we have had another visit from Ofsted this week. The visit will hopefully be the last of a series of monitoring visits which are designed to see if we are still moving in the right direction. Although I am unable to give any detail before the report is finally published, I can take this opportunity to thank our fantastic staff who did an amazing job again. The students were also an absolute credit to us, so I have felt very proud again this week to be the headteacher of this fabulous school.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As we reach the end of the half term it is clear that things are slowly getting back to normal. Hopefully next week will bring the promised good weather and staff and students will have the opportunity to take a breath. This time of year is always busy but without the formal exams taking place this year, the workload on staff who have had to set, mark and moderate their own assessments has been heavier than ever. My job this week has been to add the final bit of moderation and quality assurance to the student grades for Years 10, 11 and 13 and I have once again been blown away by the incredible efforts and professionalism of the Lipson staff. Our students will undoubtedly get the grades that they deserve in the Summer and rightly so but the amount of work that the staff have put in to ensure that this happens has been phenomenal. My job continues to be relatively easy when I come to work every day with so many brilliant people.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am hoping that this will be one of the last times when information about Covid 19 still dominates the information that I am sharing with you. There has been a lot of talk recently in the media about the wearing of face coverings in schools and when the restrictions might start to ease. For now, we are taking the decision to continue with the wearing of masks for all students and staff unless previous&amp;nbsp;dispensation has already been agreed. The reason&amp;nbsp;for this is that we have had a couple of positive cases very recently and as a result still have a number of students who are isolating at home. For us, it doesn&#39;t feel like the right time to be easing our restrictions just yet. We will however review this decision on a weekly basis and will move towards the optional wearing of face coverings as soon as we feel that it is safe to do so. Thank you for your patience and for your continued support with this.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>

The &#39;exam&#39; season is now well under way for students in Years 10, 11 and 13. I have to say that the students have been amazing and continue to show great resilience during what has undoubtedly been a very challenging time for them. As always, I would also like to thank the staff who have taken on all the extra work without complaint and who remain determined that our students get the grades that they deserve.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>

We also had our visit from Ofsted who praised us for this aspect of our work. On top of this we have had the ongoing issues presented by Covid, so all in all we have been busy.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>

This has resulted in more than forty Year 11 students having to isolate much to their frustration and disappointment. We would&amp;nbsp;obviously like to wish the student concerned and his family well and this situation serves as a timely reminder that we are not quite out of the woods yet.

Despite the masks, the one-way systems, the staggered start times and finishes and a whole load of other stuff it has been so nice this week to see us operating in some form of normality. It has been amazing to have all the students and staff back in school and what has struck me above all else is just what a happy place Lipson is becoming. I have lost count of the number of students and staff who have stopped for a chat and told me that they are just pleased to be back. So, who to thank first?]]></description>

We are of course incredibly busy putting our plans together to welcome back all our students on the week beginning March 8th. A detailed plan will be shared with everyone as soon as it is finalised but we will continue to feed out information as and when we can. The difficulty is that no two announcements are ever quite the same and we are continually having to amend and update our plans as the guidance shifts. ]]></description>

I try not to go overboard when talking about Lipson to others as I always fear that it can breed a kind of complacency. I still see us as a school that is improving and there are still so many things that I want us to achieve together so I am never totally satisfied and always want more. However, the last couple of weeks have been amazing. What the staff are doing in such challenging circumstances is quite extraordinary. As well as setting up the online learning for everyone, we are managing our &#39;Essential School&#39; for some of our most vulnerable students. On top of this we are providing lap-tops and chrome books for families that need them, coordinating food vouchers and have set up a fully operational testing centre on site. The role of the headteacher has never been more diverse, thank goodness I am surrounded by so many brilliant]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[They say that a week is a long time in politics and I am sure that people in America could testify to that, this week in particular. But this week, in Plymouth,Â  in mid-pandemic lockdown has also felt quite long! However, after taking on board a lot of constructive feedback from students, parents and staff, I am confident that we are now better placed than ever to deliver a really high-quality online learning offer. I have to thank everyone who has contributed this week to help us plan the way forward.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As we come to the end of another week it is a good time to reflect on what has been, even in the current climate, a pretty extraordinary start to the term. I try not to go overboard when talking about Lipson to others as I always fear that it can breed a kind of complacency. I still see us as a school that is improving and there are still so many things that I want us to achieve together so I am never totally satisfied and always want more. However, the last couple of weeks have been amazing. What the staff are doing in such challenging circumstances is quite extraordinary. As well as setting up the online learning for everyone, we are managing our &#39;Essential School&#39; for some of our most vulnerable students. On top of this we are providing lap-tops and chrome books for families that need them, coordinating food vouchers and have set up a fully operational testing centre on site. The role of the headteacher has never been more diverse, thank goodness I am surrounded by so many brilliant]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As we move towards the final week of term, I would like to reiterate that despite having to work in some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable, we continue to go from strength to strength at Lipson. It should go on the record that the efforts of the staff during these times have been phenomenal and the general attitude and application of our students has also been remarkable. This is within the context of having to be sensitive to and manage the mental health and anxiety issues displayed by members of both these groups.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It has been another busy week in school as we continue to try and get used to the &#39;new normal&#39;. I would like to say a massive well done to our Year 11 and Year 12 students who have coped amazingly well with their enforced two weeks of isolation. Levels of engagement have been really high in both year groups and the staff should be praised for the way that they have kept up with lessons for these students onlineÂ whilst at the same time being in school and delivering normal lessons to the students that are here. None of us have ever faced challenges like this before and it is always interesting to see how people react but the response from everyone so far has been outstanding.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We have faced many challenges throughout the year as we have tried our best to respond to the situation we find ourselves in but this week has been particularly difficult. A number of positive Covid cases in Year 11 and 12 have resulted in us having to isolate nearly 300 students. We are also having to keep an eye on our staffing levels to be sure that we can continue to stay open and serve the students in the very best way that we can.]]></description>

Our staff, as always have been flexible and positive and continue to go over and above what would be reasonably expected of them.]]></description>
