To get here we all need to have high standards, staff and pupils, more consistency, stronger discipline, we need to be strict, stop making excuses for pupils and staff, we all need to meet deadlines. Often we expect low standards from certain pupils so we accept them. Pupils must take responsibility for their own grades - staff can only do so much. Everybody has the right to fail.]]> 2017-04-07 08:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rhys_evans1/achievingexcellence/wish/165324476 https://padlet.com/rhys_evans1/achievingexcellence/wish/165324495 Putting in extra effort to achieve excellence.

Focus on the outcome, not just the journey.
Acceptance that excellence can mean different things for different people.
Excellence is individual.
United in aspiring to excellence - teachers, parents, students, community.
We would like the word 'together' in the statement.
Is 'excellence' too close to Estyn speak? Alternatives could be - success/greatness etc.
We don't like it.
