Behind every result received today sits hours of work most people never see – early mornings, difficult conversations, those who kept going when things got hard.
We hope it's been a real celebration for learners, their communities & the educators supporting them.
This day rarely tells the full story on its own. That's why we want to hear yours.
Not the numbers, the story behind them. We'd love to celebrate with you.
Reach out to us and let us know how today went for you.

This week's PiXL Leadership Bookclub is a reshare: Women Who Work Too Much by Tamu Thomas, and its central idea is hard to shake, the belief that rest has to be earned before it's allowed.

It's written with women in mind, but if you're leading in education right now, you'll recognise plenty of it regardless.
If you missed it first time round, or fancy a re-listen, it's back in the feed this week.

One mother described walking her son in on a hard morning and quietly telling his teacher. They keep an extra eye on him, and she gets her day back. "I can be Claire," she said, "as opposed to mum."

A parent who's also a governor described his moment with the head at the gate as "the best social drug." A short conversation, and he starts the day on a different footing.

The children at Primrose Hill have never heard the word compassionomics.
Ask them about school and they describe "a second family."

Behind every PiXL event, campaign, resource and podcast is a team who've had their own busy year too. To kick off our "Behind PiXL" series, here's what a few of them are looking forward to this summer.
In a hospital, a 40-second conversation was shown to lower patients' anxiety and recovery speed.
Primrose Hill Primary School tried the same idea with children. We filmed what happened. Watch the full video here: piped.video/watch?v=8qcW9nvh…
The end of a school year is a moment worth marking. Behind every results day, every transition, every student who made it through, there's a staff room full of people who kept going.

The school year is drawing to a close.. Thank you to every teacher and school leader who got their students to the finish line. Enjoy the break, you've earned it.

Resilience isn't built in a single session.
It grows in school cultures where young people feel safe, seen, & supported to keep going when things are hard. Schools build those conditions through sustained, careful work.
What does resilience-building look like for your students?
What makes a great strategy?
In the final episode of the PiXL Leadership Bookclub, @RachelPiXL is joined by school leaders Sian Cumming and Luke Moseley to explore @ThisIsSethsBlog's 'This Is Strategy' and its implications for leadership in schools.
Whether you're leading a classroom, a department or a whole organisation, this episode offers practical reflections on leading sustainable change and building systems that help people thrive.
