@DeputyGrocott @CensoredHead @InquisitiveTea2 @lakinteach If it doesn't include personal tax allowances, does that actually mean your salary needs to be above 62k before you need to start thinking about it too much?

Love seeing other curriculum maps and the thinking behind them. Lots of food for thought for KS3 planning in gained time! #Englishhangout

@21stEnglish The threshold for changing the mark at review is high, anything within 5 marks would be considered a reasonable mark. So a jump from 17-25 would be necessary as the original mark wasn't fair. But with this essay they wouldn't move it unless they thought it should be 25 or over.

@thecockerill @MrsPartin_PYD @EngMediaCentre @englishdeptbhs Us too, the conversations the stories have sparked in the department have been wonderful.

@_MissieBee @hiasenglish Love this idea, and a great reminder about those visuals.

[Sophie Bartlett @_MissieBee]

A great idea from @hiasenglish - using diagrams to represent sentence structures. I’ve planned it into my current unit of writing based on The Mysteries of Harris Burdick which has worked well so far!

[Barbara Bleiman 🎓 Education is Conversation @BarbaraBleiman]

A response to the Ofsted Research Review for English by @EngMediaCentre is now up on EMC's website. It's clearly a day for telling home truths to those in power! We don't pull our punches in critiquing what we regard as a rather poor piece of work.

@PatrickCragg @WilkieMaguire @TeacherBusy We went fully mixed ability with year 9 this year, but on reflection taking them into year 10 are going to recreate a nurture group. I have mixed feelings about it, but think ultimately it's right for our context.
