Most important message to my team this afternoon: β€˜please rest and recoup this weekend; there is no work that needs doing.’ We will be ready on Monday to welcome the students back.🧑Funnily enough, there will be no talk of loss/catch up because they just don’t need to hear it! πŸ‘‹

Today, 2 amazing friends moved on to promotions/new schools and despite my huge sadness that we won’t work together every day,I’m proud beyond measure of them. They are confident, compassionate, authentic and dedicated women who epitomise being 10%braver! I’m lucky to know them.

'The House of Lords report says the education system for 11- to 16-year-olds is too focused on academic learning and written exams, resulting in too much learning by rote and not enough opportunity for pupils to pursue creative and technical subjects.' theguardian.com/education/20…

In case you need to hear this today: please be kind to yourself. This job is relentless and, for all the moments of joy, it can be seriously tough. You are a person before you’re a teacher and you deserve to be both happy and healthy.

We were always intending on uploading for the wave but the reforms to the waves system are a game changer! I’m also certain that @PupilProgressUK may have just saved me upwards of ten hours QLA prep each time we do mocks. I genuinely couldn’t contain my excitement today! πŸ“ˆπŸ“‰πŸ“Š – at East Midlands, England

Sitting at the @ThePiXLNetwork English festival today stirred up an overwhelming urge to make sure all of our wonderful teachers have the chance to attend something as fantastic. We were lucky to facilitate 3 of us being there today…1/2 @RachelPiXL – at East Midlands, England

Happy Sunday everyone! πŸ˜€ English teachers: has anyone read any insightful blogs on teaching GCSE Literature with a reduced amount of curriculum time? Or has anyone seen any posts promoting time effective ways to approach such a large amount of content? πŸ“š TIA

Please share if you think you know of any schools who may be able to offer their guidance. I appreciate it’s a really busy and pressurised time at the moment 🫢🏻 @Team_English1 @ThePiXLNetwork #phonics #english
Looking for a Secondary school in the East or West Midlands who deliver Phonics on a medium-large scale, to consider what makes it successful and how it fits logistically in a secondary timetable. Would anyone be open to hosting a couple of my team to share ideas? πŸ“– πŸ“š TIA

Can anybody make use of any of these books? I’m having a sort out pending our spare room becoming a nursery πŸ’•. Books are free of charge so you’d just need to pay postage. Some may have some uni notes inside/ I can check if anyone wanted to know. Feel free to message me. πŸ“š

Aim today is to channel @WomenEdEngland and be 10% braver to speak to other professionals at @researchEDBrum instead of feeling a huge sense of imposter syndrome. Hi πŸ‘‹ I’m Fran

Culture pervades every aspect of school life, for every staff member and student. I’ve been reading a lot around culture at the moment and reflecting on our own. @jo_facer’s book is perfectly timed and really insightful, with so many practical ideas too!
