Marking assessments today and preparing for the week ahead. Logging off at 4pm regardless of how much I get done!

What is the alternative? Spread COVID to others? Risk is too high for pupils and staff. Schools 'sending pupils home too readily', says Ofsted | Tes https://t.co/4bJj4HxZPX

Amidst lockdown and US elections, GB has sadly lost some amazing talent..Sean Connery, Geoffrey Palmer, Bobby Ball and John Sessions. RIP🙏🏽

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

@Strickomaster A great way to make staff feel valued.

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Had a few worried colleagues contact me today about what to expect this week. All I could do was reassure them, even though I am unsure of what the next few weeks means for us all.

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Time to log back on and prepare for next week. Who knows what the next 7 weeks has in store for us?

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Such a generous thing to do. Thank you @Morrisons. It’s not about the discount, it’s the gesture 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

This just arrived 👍 @Strickomaster Can’t wait to read it :-)

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

So BTECs......?!?!?! Early start for many of us tomorrow.

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Best of luck today with GCSEs. I’m going into school now...🤞

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

So, today was interesting. Media are using the terms, ‘teacher assessments’ to describe CAGs. We were rigours with our moderating. Media coverage of CAGs on Thurs will be something we all need to monitor. Focus will not be on DfE or Ofqual, but on schools.

Hi Twitter, has anybody got any behaviour strategies they are going to adopt in the autumn term for year group bubbles, instead of detentions, isolation etc? 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

@BenMartin_Edu Thank you for this 👍

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Rewards for ‘free’.... What works? What doesn’t? Any helpful tips that I could use? 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

@msreidteaches Thank you. We are working on that right now for the new academic year. Certs have their merits but more for college etc not immediate gratification. Texts are a good idea👍

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Need to get back on here....!

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Yes please 👍

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

Awake, so thought I’d go down to do some work in order to clear the backlog for the weekend. Laptop dead, charger at school 👍👍 the universe wants me to go back to bed 😂

[Assistant Principal @AssistantPrinc8]

A really successful few days. Year 11s settled in well. Staff and students seem very happy :-)
