Welcome to Agility - the Blog!


A big welcome to teachers, support staff, parents, students, and anyone else who might be interested in learning and teaching at Cheney School. This blog will be used to post articles, video, resources, news and ideas related to classroom practice at the school

Welcome to the first edition of Agility, the professional journal of Cheney School. The magazine and blog is intended to act as a vehicle for sharing best practice, swapping ideas, and to highlight examples of innovation, creativity and success from all parts of our school.

This journal is launched in the belief that the most successful organisations are characterised by a sharing culture, in which exchange and discussion of skills, ideas, knowledge and experiences is frequent and valued. There has been movement in this direction recently through, for example, the setting up of TLCs for next year, and it is hoped that this journal will make it easier for us all to learn from one another.

It is intended that the magazine contents will vary widely, but include reflections and reporting on practice and school life at Cheney, alongside research, news from other schools, personal reflections and more.

In terms of content, clearly the more staff who are able to contribute articles or experiences, the better, so please do get in touch if you have something to offer. The editorship is open to anyone, so if you’d like to have a go, just get in touch.

Recent additions include articles on PLTS and Co-operative learning, reports on innovative practice in History and Science, feedback from colleagues conducting research and more. We hope that it is of interest!
