@steveh737 Hmm. I’m a teacher. Clear in my bio.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

The #BBCDebate, in comparison to ITV’s shambolic version, demonstrates exactly why we should protect our public service broadcaster, funded by the licence fee, at all costs. Mature, well-chaired and fair, it was a far cry from the Americanised tat we saw on Tuesday.

Would you like to join our teaching team? We currently have two exciting opportunities in French and Science. We are open to applications from colleagues at all stages of their careers, including ECTs.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

Excellent. I’m reading this as DfE will finally provide minimum service levels: sufficient pay to retain quality specialists, adequate funding to ensure warm, dry, well-equipped buildings and additional funding to provide for our most vulnerable learners. Then no need to strike!

[Gillian Keegan @GillianKeegan]

Last year, school strikes resulted in 25 million school days being lost cumulatively.

Children should not have to suffer a repeat of this disruption.

I’m announcing that we will introduce minimum service levels in schools so that pupils get the education they need and deserve.

100 Talks for Change
Next week, our Year 10 students at Redmoor will be participating in the 100 Talks for Change initiative, a mission by two inspiring young men to travel the country, delivering 100 mental health talks to young people within 20 days.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

Now this is exciting!

[Redmoor Academy @RedmoorAcademy]

We are delighted to share with you the news that Redmoor Academy has been given permission to increase the number of students we can admit and will also have new facilities to accommodate them.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

So proud of our Redmoor students. Though difficult times, you did it folks! Keep in touch with us as you go on to even greater achievements.

[Redmoor Academy @RedmoorAcademy]

Redmoor Academy is proud to celebrate the achievements of its students who have just received their GCSE results. Individually and collectively, students have achieved an excellent set of qualifications that will establish a foundation for their futures: https://t.co/hlOfd0mfps

@MsKLewisFHS @jeffreykboakye Agreed. It’s really galvanising.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@Camp_CostaRica @CampsInt Thank you so much to the Camps team and the teachers for making this experience possible. In particular, thanks to Matt who we can’t thank in person. The stories tell what a great leader you were for our kids. Thank you for your fun and warmth.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@jeffreykboakye @Penny_Ten Thank you. I really want to educate myself better in world history from perspectives other than the white European. I want to learn what I don’t know! Any tips for books, documentaries, films…

I’ve only just discovered The Cultural Tutor but I’m the richer for it - they have fast become my favourite follow.

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

This is Setenil de las Bodegas, a small Spanish town built into the cliffs of a narrow river valley.

Architecture is always cooler when shaped by the local environment.

So, from cities in lakes to villages on volcanoes, here's how to make the world a more interesting place...

@rica_2023 Thanks for the update. Enjoy the peace!

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@rica_2023 Ooh, that looks like a smart place! Enjoy the experience. It’s well-earned.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@Carter6D Thanks for sharing. My reading list gets longer and longer! It’s motivating to know you haven’t them all from cover to cover but have still got something from each one.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@rica_2023 Good to see everyone looking busy and happy! Thanks for the update.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@Camp_CostaRica @CampsInt We do!

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

@rica_2023 Looks amazing. Thanks for the updates.

[Kate Groocock @KateGroocock]

What a super bunch of young adults. So proud of them!

[Redmoor Academy @RedmoorAcademy]

Thank you to all of our Year 11 students for yet again, another amazing Prom. You all looked fantastic! Here are our Redmoor photos, including some from our Year 10 photography students.
