In the second of our expert guides to mark ADHD Awareness Month, Lou Elliott, Speech & Language Therapist, and Behaviour Specialist at our special school, Danecourt, returns with tips for educators. If you work directly with children, we urge you to take a look - Lou's insight and advice is invaluable. In fact, Lou's first expert guide, which busted common ADHD myths, has been shared numerous times over on Facebook, and when putting these guides together, that was always our sole focus: to raise awareness and responsibly inform as many people as we can on exactly what ADHD is - and what it isn't. If you missed Lou's first post, please do go back and read it on our LinkedIn page. We promise you'll learn something! Thank you once again to Lou for giving us the knowledge to be even better advocates for and allies to those with ADHD. #MaritimeAcademyTrust #ADHDAwarenessMonth

Thank you to our Maritime Academy Trust community for a great first term! Before we come back and do it all again in a fortnight (with the added excitement of - whisper it - Christmas thrown in), we'd like to wish you all a restful half term break. Have fun! #MaritimeAcademyTrust

We may already be about to end our first term of the academic year, but we're squeezing in one last weekly round-up from our schools! There's no denying that working in education and measuring life in terms seems to make time pass even more quickly. That's why we love pausing, taking the opportunity to look back over the week, and share what the pupils in each year group, across all our schools, have taken part in. Seeing our children immersed in their learning, and enjoying so many wonderful opportunities and experiences, serves as a fantastic reminder of exactly why we do what we do here at Maritime Academy Trust. Giving our children the best possible start in life is what motivates us! Here's just a snippet of what our pupils have been up to this week:  💙 Visited the Tower of London, The Science Museum and Greenwich  💙 Taken part in an assembly with 100 other schools to mark Black History Month  💙 Planted vegetables  💙 Created posters to raise awareness on pollution  💙 Made Greek-style vases, rainforest tapestries and Stone Henge artwork  💙 Researched mythical beasts using Chromebooks  💙 Practised number-lines with chalk on the playground  💙 Dressed as superheroes  💙 Headed to the farm  💙 Experimented with non-Newtonian fluid (feel free to Google, if needed!) For much, much more like this, we'll see you next term!... #MaritimeAcademyTrust #MaritimeWeeklyHighlights

What might you be getting wrong about ADHD? Whether it's navigating misinformation online, in conversations with peers, or even our own, hard-wired assumptions - perhaps based on past experiences or other people's opinions - chances are, we all need to educate ourselves better. This ADHD Awareness Month, the theme is 'awareness is key', and at Maritime Academy Trust, we support this wholeheartedly. We know that in order to create a more supportive and understanding environment for our pupils and the future generation, educating one another on what ADHD is - and, just as importantly, what it isn't - is crucial. In the first of two special posts this month, we asked Lou Elliott, Speech & Language Therapist and Behaviour Specialist at Danecourt School, to use her incredible wealth of knowledge, and help us sort fact from fiction. Next week, Lou will be back to provide educators with useful advice and practical tips on working with learners with ADHD. We hope you find it useful. #MaritimeAcademyTrust #ADHDAwarenessMonth #AwarenessIsKey

Wonderful to join Danielle at the Bexley Children and Young People’s network this morning. Our first meeting and it was a lovely warm welcome. So many potential partnerships to follow up on. Great to be finding more ways to support Maritime’s children and families. Proud as ever to be working with our community to ensure every Maritime child thrives.

We're very proud to share that our brilliant Finance Manager, Lesley Colbert, is a finalist in this year's Education Today School & Suppliers Awards, nominated in the Business Manager/ Bursar of the Year category. Huge congratulations, Lesley! Whilst it goes without saying that Lesley is already a winner in our eyes, we're still very much looking forward to the award ceremony in London on the 6th December - wish us luck! #MaritimeAcademyTrust #EducationToday
