This week, we've been very lucky to have welcomed award-winning children's author, Clare Helen Welsh, to seven CELT schools as part of her author-in-residence roadshow! Not only has Clare been doing activities and assemblies with pupils throughout the week, she's also been writing her next book - perhaps Clare's even taken inspiration from her school visits?! We will have to wait to find out! #ExceptionalEducationalExperience

This week, some of our primary schools will be welcoming children's author, Clare Helen Welsh to visit. Meeting real authors can help books come alive for learners. It helps children to see writing as a real-world skill and authors often share personal stories that motivate learners to read more and write their own stories. Here is Clare's special message for pupils - she's not 'kidding' around! https://youtu.be/t22e4pOzHJo #ExceptionalEducationalExperience

On national #ReadABookDay we're reminded of the power of reading for pleasure to open minds and spark lifelong curiosity. The St Austell Festival of Children's Literature shows just how inspiring stories can be - a legacy that lasts well beyond the festival.

Our CELT Connection and Communication Day Today, colleagues from across Cornwall Education Learning Trust came together for our September INSET – a day dedicated to professional development, connection, and collaboration. Our Trust-wide INSET focus was connection and communication – the vital foundations for the work we do with one another and with our learners. At CELT, our shared mission is clear: to ensure every learner experiences an Exceptional Educational Experience. We know this is only possible through collaboration and our INSET days are designed to bring our Trust together in pursuit of that goal. A huge thank you to all colleagues across our schools and services who shaped such a purposeful and inspiring programme. Here's to a strong, connected start to the year ahead! #ExceptionalEducationalExperience
