I've recently taken on the role of ACL, leading on English Language at KS3 and want to strengthen my subject knowledge. Any CPD recommendations- reading materials, events, books etc would all be welcomed! #EnglishLanguage #KS3English

Year 11 living the quote of their year group poem:

‘Rest if you must, but don’t you quit’

English masterclasses this afternoon, for the hardest working scholars in Leicester.

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

My first round of English Literature GCSE's completed ✔️
I hope none of them had a moment like this as explained by the fab @brian_bilston
Roll on the Language papers!
So proud of my scholars already 💫

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

Another CMA first for my wonderful team 💫
Also, a big career movement for me: 5th year teaching, 5th year of our founding cohort, 1st round of exams for me and them! 💫
I didn't realise how nerve wracking this would be!! I have every faith that team CMA will smash it though!!💫

Our whole school is very proud of these two scholars, Imran and Ishika, who have been awarded scholarships to study @UppinghamSchool in their Sixth Form from September.

Pictured here with their form tutor, Miss Walker, after visiting yesterday with Mr Hague also.

@bovlia This is such a good idea!!

@mathsmumof2 @e_hayes12 Game changer 🙌

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

I immensely proud to work at such an amazing school. The fact that Poetry in Voice got a shoutout makes it even more special 💫

[Castle Mead Academy @CastleMeadAcad]

It is with immense pride we officially announce that we have received an ‘Outstanding’ rating in our first ever Ofsted inspection.

We could not have achieved this without the support of scholars, families, staff and the @TMETrust

Definitely food for though after today! It was great to show that our strive for excellence and rigorous routines already build a culture for talk in our classrooms. Roll on next academic year! 💫

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

@mrsbrewtandcake Your contagious energy brightened my day today, Mrs Brewer! 🩷🩷

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

It was a pleasure this afternoon to visit departments during PL to hear staff @CastleMeadAcad discuss how we can promote a high quality oracy education whilst also honouring subject distinctiveness. We look forward to welcoming @voice21oracy next month to showcase our work! 💫

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

Today I had 1 free, however I simply had to stay to hear Bernie speak on such an important topic. The power of this story telling was felt by all. Such an important topic to highlight to our scholars. Messages matter. Thank you, Bernie

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

A very insightful and inspirational day at the @voice21oracy Development Day 1! Lots of thoughts and ideas ready to take back to school 🗣 💫

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

@rozina_mulla You did very well Mrs Mulla 👏🏼 ❤️

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

@rozina_mulla is the best for bringing me food parcels to school!! The verdict is in- we loved the poha 😍

[Alice Walker @AliceWalks96]

What. A. Show.

I cried. A lot. 😆

Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼

[Lily Woods @LVCWoods]

No better CPD than watching some live theatre. No better afternoon than geeking out over Shakespeare. No better team than this bunch!

Hot take: Emilia in #othello is 👌🏼👌🏼 she’s gonna get more curriculum air time going forward!

Thank you @franticassembly @CurveLeicester bravo!
