Friday 28 February 2025 HWA Blog - 28.2.25 What a short but busy week here at Hollinwood Academy! We kicked things off with an INSET day that was well received by our staff. Blake from Evidence for Learning (EFL) joined us to facilitate a reflective inquiry on using EFL, prompting insightful discussions among our team about the quality of evidence we collect and share with families. The morning sessions allowed staff to delve deeper into effective strategies for measuring progress and assessment, ultimately leading to some exciting action points aimed at enhancing how we communicate this evidence to families and learners.
