NQT observation. NQT asked a question to the class, a pupil shouted out, NQT replied "If you heard it, steal it, now put your hand up to answer." All hands went up. Pupil smiled. Next question asked, pupil did not yell out. I heard it and will steal it!

What do you think about @RishiSunak solution to improving pupil attendance? 👍👎
"Parents could be sent “pre-emptive” text messages to warn them not to take their children out of school in term time", Rishi Sunak has said.

🚨Hi folks, I'm fully aware that attendance is not a quick fix BUT...
I would love any super short term ideas that could help jump start our Year 11s to higher attendance this term.

I'm looking for someone/organisation to give a presentation to parents/pupils on social media safety/tips.
Any recommendations?
Does anyone else treat the first school day back like New Year's Day?
I'm always setting "First day back" resolutions!

School: On our made-up GCSE assessment, marked against our made-up grade boundaries, student x got a B.
Ofqual: Well, in our made-up view of your made-up GCSE assessment, we think the student deserved a D.
