Today was my last day as Head of English at my school; from January I start at a new school as an Assistant Headteacher. I feel very humbled and emotional from all the love I’ve received today. Happy Christmas all. @Team_English1 #teamenglish @NewToSLTChat1 @SLTchat

A fantastic Q&A session with @Ncknwmn - author of #TheWipersTimes now on the @AQAEnglish A Level Spec with Y13. So grateful for this opportunity and the students (and I) LOVED it! Thank you! @Team_English1 #TeamEnglish #literature

Our new librarian made this simple display at school to celebrate Pride and the LGBTQ+ community. The School has never done one of these before and it caught me off guard and made me feel visible. We need to see ourselves reflected like this. #teamenglish @Team_English1

Love this. @ij_ford @TessdelaMare - can’t find Lottie’s handle!
Ever wondered how dramatic a newsroom is? We’re basically AC-12 but with press cards instead of warrant badges, and we’re armed with microphones instead of guns. #LineofDuty #LoD

Come teach at our wonderful school! Great students, fantastic staff, and amazing CPD opportunities! #english @Team_English1 eteach.com/jobs/English/worc…

Having already taught the Modern Text, we are essentially saying: β€˜Hey kids, so I know we lost months of teaching time, and you know that text we studied last year? Well, that doesn’t count either! But we can shoe-horn in poetry and you’ll be fine...!’

Just for clarity, I am not saying poetry is less valuable than other texts (in many ways it is more as it the most diverse text our students study at GCSE - thought that’s not hard, but an argument for another time). However, I’m coming from a pragmatic position here - 1/2

Seriously considering moving to @PearsonEdexcel due to @AQA’s poor, untimely decision. Who in @Team_English1 can help me answer some questions or suggest further guidance (in addition to the website)? #english #shambles

Fuming at @AQAEnglish for their U-turn on summer’s guidance re: #gceenglishliterature appalling and disrespectful behaviour to the young people who will suffer as a result of this decision. The young people who now more than ever need confidence and certainty are neglected.

Dear @KTHopkins Fuck off. Thank you Marcus Rashford
Dear @MarcusRashford Do you think women should think about how they are going to feed a child before they decide to have it? I do not want to pay to feed other people’s kids. You are welcome to. Thank you Katie Hopkins
