Exams can be a tough time, but we've got you covered!

We had a great turn out in the final week of last term. Make sure you come along and check in.

We’re often fooled by what looks like effective teaching - charisma, energy, confidence - but engagement isn’t learning. Great teaching requires both subject expertise and the ability to make complex ideas clear to novices.

1/

For too long, KS3 has been treated as the bit in between.
Not quite primary. Not yet GCSE. A bridge. A waiting room.

A place where ambition quietly becomes diluted.

[Astrea Academy Sheffield - Secondary Phase @AstreaAcadSheff]

We're looking forward to seeing our scholars and staff back in school on Monday! Scholars make sure that you've got the following ready:
👔Full Uniform ✅Equipment packs ⏰Your alarm set. Gates will close at 8:17 a.m. as normal

@shiningfourth Says the reform fella. Irony lost on you.

[Adam Porter @ajlang92]

@Finland_Edu Way off the mark.

[Adam Porter @ajlang92]

@LynseyMcArdle Couldn't disagree more.

[Adam Porter @ajlang92]

@mackenzieprice Sounds absolutely awful.

Consistency:

[Sam Strickland @SamStrickers181]

The reality of the anti-exclusion position is unsafe, dangerous, illegal behaviours would go unchecked and that it would be open season in some schools on staff & other pupils. Safeguarding wouldn’t matter. I’m not sure how many families would willingly send their kids to school.

[Mary Myatt @MaryMyatt]

1/ Spend time in almost any secondary school and you will hear the familiar language of urgency:

Year 11.
Results.
Intervention.
Progress 8.
And of course, these things matter.

[Mary Myatt @MaryMyatt]

2/ But what if one of the most powerful things we can do for outcomes at the end of secondary school is to take the middle years more seriously?

That is one of the central arguments in my new book, KS3: The Ambitious Years.

"It's never too late!"

Former world no.1 tennis player Billie Jean King has finished her degree aged 82.

She tells @BBCkatyaadler why she went back to studying after such a successful career.

[Jeremy Wayne Tate @JeremyTate41]

This is the best preserved medieval street in Europe.

Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, The Shambles in York, England has had shops trading on it for nearly a thousand years. It's older than the Crusades.

[Longsands Academy @LongsandsNews]

We are looking forward to welcoming scholars next week for our May Half Term Revision Sessions📝

These sessions are designed to provide support in the crucial final weeks leading up to their examinations.

You want to fix education?

Close the Chromebook. Confiscate the phone. Hand them a pencil.

[River Academy @RiverAcReading]

👑 River Academy reigns supreme! 👑

We’ve hit a new milestone this term: EVERY week, River Academy students have held the top spot across the Sparx Reader, Maths and Science platforms. @SparxLearning

That’s 1st place out of some 2,650 schools!
