Teaching and Learning

[WCOEA @WhitburnTandL]

@SarahFo40267734 @tombennett71 With respect this is not a ‘style of learning’ if such a thing existed. It is the efficacy of different pathways for receiving and making sense of new information. Audio loops and visio-spatial sketchpad. Some learners may find one is more effective

[WCOEA @WhitburnTandL]

@Mr_AlmondED Well done for keeping on the right side of the equality act. This is absolutely normal and the base level in many schools

[WCOEA @WhitburnTandL]

@BellaWallerstei ‘Generational disaster’? Only 7% of children go to independent schools and only a fraction of them will stop going if parents can’t / won’t pay the extra.

[WCOEA @WhitburnTandL]

@warwickmansell Possibly due to a lack of trained Art teachers

@Miss_Snuffy But not Separate Science it seems..

@TheAlexFenton @oldandrewuk It’s actually a comparison between the scores a cohort gets in their GCSEs and the GCSE scores that similar students get (based on their SATs scores from KS2 known as the prior attainment group).

@joenutt_author @Davnie4 3000 students have left private for state education this year. The state pays on average c£7000 pa (secondary) per pupil. Please use simple maths to explain to me how this is ‘millions every week’

@mumzles1 @harrsica @scriptwren @OllyMetcalfe @bphillipsonMP State schools cannot refuse if they have a place.That’s the law.

@teamsquarepeg @GeorgeWParker @Mellow_Pascoe @bphillipsonMP Perhaps also view it through the same lens that saw much greater grade inflation in independent schools in 20/21 under CAGs and TAGs. Independents are under huge pressure to get results- at any financial or ethical cost

Thinking of applying for teacher training? Come and see us at two upcoming events:

13th November Sunderland University, St Peters Campus from 3pm

14th November St James' Park, Newcastle from 4pm

Find out more about the training year and financial support available

@LeoraCruddas @warwickmansell Hi Leora, what about SATs on the lowest level of GAG funding who stand to lose 6% of their GAG in return for central services savings of 3% of their GAG by joining a MAT? Not surprising that they have little appetite

[WhitburnCofEAcademy @WhitCofEAcad]

Looking forward to seeing Year 11 students & families on Thursday 7th November, 6pm - 7.30pm @WhitSixthForm

We will be sharing some tips with the students to identify different wildflower and ‘weed’ species which Trevor will love.

Keep an eye out for updates on Trevor’s progress at the Academy, and more adorable tiny-tortoise pics!

@ShakinthatChalk Lots of people would have thought apples falling from trees was common sense. Didn’t stop Newton teaching the world a thing or two.

@gfreeman2012 @PenPendragon @branwenjeffreys @bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk @PaulGarvey4 @PieCorbett @RealGeoffBarton It is written into employment law. Restructuring/ redundancies for less than 20 don’t have to go through formal consultation. It is of course good practice to do so.

[Emma Lewell MP @EmmaLewell]

I love a good hustings. Some really impressive and engaging Qs from students @WhitCofEAcad this afternoon. Thanks for asking me to come along. #GE24
