Love seeing our pupils speak with such enthusiasm and confidence as they argue their points of view!

Love my job!

A firm favourite in the #KennetSixthForm calendar - our Lip Sync Battle! Teachers and students went head-to-head this lunchtime to raise money for @MindCharity. Well done to students for organising this hilarious event and to our Jojo Siwa group for being crowned winners!

In January I published an episode with Ben Solomon about research in education and he came up with a list of "red flags in education research," to help people sort reliable education research from the unreliable kind. Here's that list.

For any teachers wanting to understand cognitive load theory, this is a great introduction from John Sweller speaking with @CritiSpeak https://t.co/aFDcKaljK8

[Doug Lemov @Doug_Lemov]

"The general rule is the more cognitive effort retrieval requires, the greater its impact on learning. This means that, typically, retrieval based on free-recall [ie open response] has a greater impact than retrieval based on recognition [ie multiple choice]"

Possibly the most difficult challenge teachers face in instructional design is the “transfer paradox” otherwise known as the deceptive trade-off between immediate performance vs. long-term transfer. A short 🧵⬇️

Love this post! Had pupils all day ask what house I belong to. My reply: I’m team Kennet! 🥰

The best staff!

Year 7 went on an aspirational Aim Higher trip to @UniofReading yesterday. They toured the campus, debated ethical philosophy and separated DNA in the lab. The group were excited about future study opportunities and doors that can open as a result of #ExcellenceThroughEndeavour.

[Kennet School @KennetSchool]

Today's lunchtime saw an exciting #KennetDrama workshop. Pupils had so much fun embodying the extraordinary abilities of characters from @SparkesAli Shapeshifter series. Massive thanks to Ms Sharpe for creating this magical journey for our pupils! #BookFest2024

[Kennet School @KennetSchool]

Yesterday, Year 9s were trapped in our first-ever #EscapeRoom inside a library book. They tackled puzzles, used UV lights and worked out the Dewey Decimal Number to escape. #StMichaelHouse led the charge to victory, with #StPatrickHouse hot on their heels! #BookFest2024

[Ms Rigg @grace_rigg]

Great launch of our Pre Test DeStress Easter event for Y11. Well done @MrsMartinKennet and @KennetSchool

[Andrew Jeffrey @AJMagicMessage]

I decided to take some biscuits into school tomorrow, but thought I'd better check with @educationgovuk that I wasn't contravening regulations.

I checked - has anyone else had a chance to read this yet? Might be worth bringing to the attention of your SLT asap.

If anyone on here leads a school doing a 9 day fortnight for staff or 80% salary with a year sabbatical on pay every 5 I’d be really interested in chatting to you so please DM me as they are open.

So, I've starting making some full coverage-type revision grids for my Year 11s to use. Starting with the number topics, here are the first five grids. In theory, grids 1 to 5 go through every number topic from grades 1-9 in order of increasing difficulty.

I have made revision booklets on some A level Pure topics. We use Edexcel but have taken appropriate questions from other exam boards so pupils won't have seen these questions from completing past papers. Feel free to share: https://t.co/lRwsHw51n9

[Jo Morgan @mathsjem]

A GCSE revision resource that isn't new but I hadn't seen before this year: mini target tests from Maths Genie. I used these for homeworks last term.

For those thinking about Y11 revision after Easter, perhaps consider doing some interwoven revision questions!
