@MissNewnham Yes, for homework across the trust. Happy to help if you need - @jennibindon is the real pro with it.

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@katielockett @VEverettmfl Agreed. Use such a minimal amount from the current ones but it feels an opportunity missed by publishers with much more defined content and certainly doesn't help with workload issues.

Proud to have been interviewed for this report, despite nearly having to cancel with poorly toddler at home. These recommendations would make a huge difference to retention and the culture of schools in general. https://t.co/Q3HoJ5CBuf Amazing work as ever from @mtpt_project

[New Britain @WeAreNewBritain]

Our report with @mtpt_project out today finds the education sector is trapped in a vicious cycle of poor retention and recruitment. Neither increased pay or Labour’s pledge to recruit 6,500 new teachers will be enough to resolve this issue.

@Sam_LGibbs This is me at the moment, thank you for sharing! Relentless bugs and poor sleep. Stepping back from HoD to 0.6 for see if that makes things more manageable🤞

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@nessalovesshoes Yes, have done this and it was really positive for the y12s. Doubled up for grammar in particular and exam strategy on topics y12 had already seen.

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@GregHorton64 I used your Group Talk resources lots after seeing you at the Languages Show a good few years ago and students loved it. I was always inspired by how you stayed in the classroom. All the best for your next adventures!

Just come across this: “Franco: The Brutal Truth about Spain’s Dictator” on Netflix. Extensive input from Paul Preston & Antony Beevor and lots of footage of 2nd Republic, Civil War & Franco. First episode is excellent. #MFLTwitterati

@fiona_616 @mtptproject I found it a really positive experience. Head was so accommodating which made the role & school more desirable. Also felt I was able to be more direct with Qs about workload & wellbeing. Good luck!

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@FlexTeachTalent 0.8 HoD in two schools since 2020 and paid the full TLR in one and on leadership scale in the other so haven't dropped any of the responsibilities. Timetabling for a full day off is the challenging bit currently.

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@JoQuatsch We're Edexcel now and no plans to change for our trust at the moment, seems much more student-friendly.

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@emma_au_soleil https://t.co/79WKByj9AP for a traditional style worksheet!

[AWickham @MFLmissquick]

@emma_au_soleil True/false, find French for, open response to comp Qs in Eng or Fr, finding cognates-depending on group. Town, making plans, time could all fit... Did you go? Looks fab!
