Planning for extraordinary
Leila
Cumberland Community School
Alongside my studies, I enjoy cooking, especially baking. I love trying new recipes out on my family and friends. They always enjoy eating whatever I have made for them.
Khadija
Waterside Academy
Khadija was part of the second cohort of students on the school’s prestigious colleges programme, applying to selective schools. She was successfully awarded a place at Fulham School on a full bursary worth £50,000.
Samuel
Cumberland Community School
For three years, I have been playing the piano and I regularly enjoy reading for pleasure. I am currently reading 'The Road Trip'.
Cemre
Waterside Academy
Cemre enrolled on the prestigious college programme and successfully was awarded a full scholarship to study A-levels at Ashbourne College worth £10,000 a term.
Amelia
Forest Gate School
Amelia began her first year at FGCS during a pandemic. Being in a new school and trying to figure out new rules during such an usual time was ‘weird’, but she praises the teachers around her for supporting her.
Lavinia
Forest Gate School
An active member in her school, Lavinia takes part in Student Council, Politeness Ambassadors, Anti-Bullying Club and multisports when she’s not studying.
Zakaria
Forest Gate School
Preparing for GCSEs is never easy, but Zakaria knows he has his teachers behind him: ‘As a year 11 student, I am very supported by my teachers who work really hard to help me with my exams.’

A great use of mini white boards by Ms Chowdhury. Set up in rows, students pass it down when she instructs. They recall what was taught from memory. Majority of the class were able to mimic exactly what she had drawn!🤩 #edutwitter #educhat http://t.co/IExp0gslzz

Trainee teacher using dual coding during her Phase 2. Great dynamic between main teacher @Rashed and Rosie. He’s live coaching throughout which makes it tough to spot who is the main teacher. Perfect example of how @CST_London support staff #EduTwitter #EduChat http://t.co/AatdISGWQw

So proud of our prestigious colleges students who have come through a rigorous selection process to be offered a place at a fee paying sixth form @CST_London http://t.co/EdCTs2wWPf
@CST_London - April 23
The significance of fostering a positive culture of "meet and greet" as students enter the classroom cannot be overstated. It's often overlooked, but it sets the tone for the entire learning environment. Kudos to @MrAWGordon_ for highlighting this! @CST_London @UTCNorfolk http://t.co/6CofzSdpLE

Another fantastic piece @Mr_Raichura
The ‘instruction sandwich’ was achieved very quickly across @CST_London schools and transformed the quality of instructions.
The ‘ready’ (pause) ‘go!’ makes correct behaviours highly visible en masse and is my fave way to ‘brighten lines’ http://t.co/sqRar63XK0

Former @FgcsInfo student Aamina achieved 3 A*s @ncs6th before embarking on her gap year to teach from the frontlines. A great example of the talent that @CST_London's #GapYearTeachingScheme is tapping into!

Students are paying attention as the teacher shares her expert knowledge in English class, interjecting appropriately with application questions. Their postures indicate they are well into the habit of paying attention in this manner @MissTBegum @Omar_Deria @Shofiquez http://t.co/K2kAFH1vZz

Always one of my favourite slides to present when delivering @CST_London’s approach to T&L 😎
