Today marks a new chapter as we launched our revised nursery provision with an inspiring training session led by award-winning author and early years consultant, Laura Henry-Allain.

✨ The sky is never the limit when we nurture curiosity, possibility, and new beginnings. ✨

At Franciscan, we’re committed to belonging for every child and family. With safeguarding, equity, and intersectionality at the heart of our work, we’re creating a community where every learner thrives. As Maya Angelou said, “When you know better, do better.”

We kicked off #NAHTConf this morning with our annual meeting of officials - here they are showing their solidarity for one of the last year's most successful NAHT campaigns to protect school leaders from abuse by parents.

So proud of our pupils today at the launch of the Tooting Community Hub on Beechcroft Road! They performed a stunning Indian dance and welcomed Mayor Sadiq Khan. A brilliant step forward for community wellbeing and support. #TootingCommunityHub

Our school was buzzing with imagination, creativity, and a love for reading! From brilliant costumes to storytelling fun, our pupils truly brought books to life.

Thank you to everyone who made today so special! Reading opens doors to endless possibilities.

Thank you to @mrswilkinson.bsky.social for an engaging session on adaptive teaching. And to the WAAS team for updates on Dual Coding ✨

Happy half-term break!

I was honored to celebrate the Tamil School’s 20th anniversary. Events like this highlight the power of culture and community in creating a deep sense of belonging for children and families.

Congratulations to the children, staff, and families!

Delivered a SCITT lecture on the importance of explicitly teaching spelling. Spelling builds confidence, supports fluency, and empowers clear expression. Inspired to share strategies that help future educators make spelling meaningful for all learners. #SCITT #TeacherTraining

Kindness transforms communities. Today, our staff room had a festive breakfast, and pupils enjoyed a magical grotto—small acts with big impact! Grateful for colleagues like Sharon who create a warm, welcoming environment. Let’s keep spreading kindness! #CultureOfKindness
