Loved leading supercurricular today with our wonderful pupils!

[Matford Brook Academy @matfordbrook]

In our Discovery programme - our extracurricular that all pupils participate in - we have a half-termly supercurricular session 💡

Today, we had a Science supercurricular, exploring Static Electricity Theory. That can only mean one thing... Balloons!🎈

Could someone please point me in the direction of supporting research for a booklet led curriculum 🙏

[Matford Brook Academy @matfordbrook]

With one day to go until our inaugural cohort of pupils start at Matford Brook Academy, we could not be more excited to welcome them! Our satellite site, our base for this year, is looking fantastic. #wewriteourstory

What a thought provoking morning listeningto the inspirational @Lem_Exeter and @DAT_JThompson at the @TedWraggTrust Providing #equity and supporting #disadvantagedstudents conference. Cannot wait to develop these ideas to at @matfordbrook and our community!

Thinking about key takeaways from this to help reduce the cyclical nature of EBSA

Just not good enough @AQA

[The Secret Magistrate @SecretJPUK]

I cannot say this loudly enough...issuing fines to parents does not make their children go to school.

I have dismissed some horrendous cases brought by Local Authorities against parents who had excellent reasons for their children not attending school. It boggles the mind!

[Alex W. 🦅🐍 @curtaindsleep]

The problem of the current nomenclature of ‘disadvantaged’ children is that you end up with a group of students defined entirely by lack. There’s no conversation about what they do have: it’s about what they don’t. This then allows conversations in English to be reduced to gap /1

[Christopher Such @Suchmo83]

Today's tiny teaching tip (9):

Pretend that everything you teach is inherently fascinating, regardless of your real opinion or the opinions you suspect the class might have.

Part of planning well is working out what makes something - anything - potentially interesting.

Excuse me?

[Emma_Gulliver @Emma_Gulliver87]

I have 8 hours (4 lessons) left with my Y11 triple Bio group. Trying to sift my way through the thousands of advanced Edexcel spec points. Any ideas how to structure the little time I have left with them?

I haven't marked a student's book in over three years.

I haven't written a comment in a student's book in over three years.

I haven't taken students' books home with me in over three years.

In all that time, not a single student has complained. And I flipping love my school.

[Kate Jones @KateJones_teach]

This is great from @Inner_Drive it helps students to have an awareness & understanding of common mistakes so that they can be avoided when studying!

[Emma_Gulliver @Emma_Gulliver87]

@MBDscience With consistency and clarity? No time at all!
