This is my maths teacher. He taught me in Year 7 & 8. Such a wonderful man! His classroom door was always open every lunchtime, and there were times when he would give us a pound or two so that we could get some lunch.
***GREAT TEACHING FRAMEWORK***
Over the last few months we have been working on developing our great teaching framework to ensure every student experiences consistently high quality teaching.
Our framework has four key drivers of excellence:
✅ Subject knowledge
✅ Relationships
✅ Routines
✅ Hard Thinking
The framework has six principles, key components and linked techniques from @WALKTHRUs_5, @teacherhead, @olicav and TLAC @Doug_Lemov. We have mapped the techniques to the Great Teaching Toolkit.
For each technique, we have codified what it means and our teaching and practice labs CPD sessions allow staff to get it, see it and try it.
We then use @Steplab_co for our coaching model to keep it, fit it and continue to try it through deliberate practice.

I’m an immigrant who’s lived and worked in the UK for 16 years. I have a North American accent and I’m white.
I’ve never once been told to ‘go back’ to my ‘shithole country’ or to ‘stop stealing jobs from British people’.
You’re not concerned about immigration. You’re racist.
NEW RESOURCE: Just something I’m experimenting with. Using power and conflict poetry as a stimulus for writing. Thought I’d post in case it’s useful! Use/chuck/change as you see fit. https://t.co/8nYr12NTod
REPOST: A walking, talking mock for AQA English Language Paper 1. Thought I’d share again in advance of the exam next week! https://t.co/ugqsGSPfCH Help yourselves 👍🏻
NEW RESOURCE: Tried @zssnas style prompts for structured conversations about poetry with Year 10 this week. Worked brilliantly - rehearsal discussions had before diving into the anthology and the presentation of the power of nature. Slides attached. Use/chuck as you see fit! https://t.co/yDINOgHdSj
We've reached the point in the UK where working full time doesn't actually mean anything anymore.
It used to mean stability. It used to mean you could afford a home, eat properly, maybe go away once a year and not panic if your car made a weird noise.
Now it just means nothing.
You wake up early, work all day, come home tired, and still somehow sit there wondering how you're going afford everything.
Rent is ridiculous. Bills are constant. Food prices change depending on the mood of the supermarket.
And wages? Basically frozen in time.
You're not lazy. You're not bad with money. You're just trying to survive in a system where everything goes up except what you get paid.
Arabic has 14 words for love. Each one describes a different stage. And here's what got me. Each one comes from a root that has nothing to do with love. Until you see the connection. And then you can't unsee it.
All 14. Let me walk you through them.

The Arabic word for "womb" is "rahm" (رحم). The word for "mercy" is "rahma" (رحمة). Same root. Arabic is telling you: the first mercy you ever received was a place that held you before you could hold yourself.

Strong KS3 does not begin in Year 10.
It begins in Year 7, when pupils are given serious texts, serious ideas and serious intellectual attention.
KS3 isn’t the bridge, it’s the foundation.
