And that's a wrap on my first year at St Patrick's! 💚 Having taken a step back from Headship, it's been amazing to be back in the classroom teaching again, and to be appreciated by our wonderful students. Wishing all my colleagues working in schools a great summer break! 🌞
‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Matthew 25:23
Schools must make sure teaching assistants 'supplement – not replace – the teacher' and ensure pupils who struggle most 'spend at least as much time with the teacher as other pupils, if not more' new Education Endowment Foundation guidance states

Huge thanks to @EcclesSFCollege for having me and sharing the incredible work you do, especially around vocational and inclusive learning. Absolutely amazing facilities and opportunities, not to mention capybaras!
💡Great to see a strong focus on supporting pupils with SEND and those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds in the curriculum and assessment interim report.
Curriculum and assessment play an important role in ensuring high standards for all.

Lovely to receive this from Year 10 pupils @StPatsRC! A simple and meaningful way to let teachers know our hard work makes a difference 😊🍀 #RandomActsOfKindnessDay
@Headteacherchat I made the same move this year and would be happy to talk more about it if you'd like to get in touch. I hope whatever you decide, you get your mojo back!
Brilliant blogs on adaptive teaching - not an 'edu-fad', but an important aspect of T&L that our pupils need us to implement well: In our planning, as Wave 1 support, during lessons and in response to assessment. "Differentiation is dead" - couldn't agree more, @AlexJQuigley! 👍

📚 “Literacy in secondary school must not simply be seen as a basket of general skills - it must be grounded in the specifics of each subject.”
This is according to our guidance on improving literacy in secondary schools.
