Amazing <self-directed learning> direction:
> The pupils have a parents' evening coming up but instead of their teachers giving an account of their progress, it is a "student-led conference" at which they must present a portfolio of their work, explain what they are most proud of and discuss where they need to put in more effort.
https://world.hey.com/gwyn/no-excuses-bc4152fb mentions that the founder was inspired by other schools: High Tech High and Expeditionary Learning.
Lots of focus on <how to teach/showcase student work>.
The founder <Gwyn ap Harri> is quite dirty mouthed, which is also cool.
<Ciro Santilli> tried to contact them in 2021 at: https://twitter.com/cirosantilli/status/1448924419016036353 and on website contact form to see if we could do some project together, but no reply.
