Why does this term feel like the hardest term of all time?
Exhausted Staff, Absences, Cover, Sickness. Behaviour… it’s like the usual chaos when it’s windy, but for 5 weeks…
Please tell me it’s not just us?

And we are done. 🎉
Displays 2021-22 🥰
The most time consuming display yet with a lot of it being hand drawn on the iPad.
But I’m in love with it and I hope the students find it an aspirational and exciting learning environment to be in.
❤️

To all the NQTs & RQTs out there who have been feeling overwhelmed - have a read of Maddie Warren’s incredibly honest and reflective article on teaching GCSE for the first time
“I am excited to see the progress we make together over the next 15 months.”

Introducing Y11 to the 'How Useful' 8mark question (AQA) tomorrow, and what a better way to do it than providing a 'utility scaffold' which will help them make specific, historically robust, non-generalised analytic comments. Shout out to @mrwmhistory for providing the inspo.

First round of learning postcards back, great response from parents had email saying how lovely it was to hear their child speak about lessons at home & really opened up a conversation. Loads mention how passionate they were. Now its about refining and fine tuning #historyteacher

I’m sorry but I’d be mortified if I found out my scitt student had badmouthed me, my resources and classroom on the first day of working alongside them. Please think professionally before posting stuff via your teacher based social media accounts. It’s really unprofessional.
