Primary DHT. English Lead. DSL. Winging it (with thoroughly good intentions).

@thosethatcan J’s school voted Reform too. He suspects it was mainly to be edgy or ‘for a laugh’, as opposed to attention to their policies. Very multicultural school.

@LeahFHardy @j_doyle explains the bags off Fouberts Place!

[Clare Doyle @clarefoil]

@Alex_Bramley3 @chrisdysonHT Yes please!

[Clare Doyle @clarefoil]

@AmandaPCraig @OwlBookshop I went in here for the first time last week. So, so good!

[Clare Doyle @clarefoil]

@HelenRSalisbury @trishgreenhalgh Yes, indeed. My youngest turned 6 in December 2020 and fully understood why her grandparents waved at her through the window!

@cathiehewitt @MorgsEd Ours is similar but has an ‘effort’ column for each subject too. Some children are consistently achieving below the expected standard but work their socks off and we wanted to acknowledge it. Has really simplified things for teachers.

[Clare Doyle @clarefoil]

@MorgsEd We are starting to do this for foundation subjects, but not for core.

@romalley73 @MichaelT1979 @RogersHistory We are a 2FE primary and have specialist teachers for PE (sports coach full time), Computing (2 days), Music (2 days), Spanish (2 days). So teachers get that time on top of one full afternoon PPA. Works really well for us, although hoping very tight budgets mean we don’t lose it.

[Clare Doyle @clarefoil]

@thosethatcan I did, and wished I hadn’t bothered!

@MissC_1717 Bought all children a small wooden doll and sent home for half term. Response was phenomenal! Those who didn’t bring one back came at lunchtime and did it (was fewer than 10 children!) The yr before we did wooden spoons- we bought them, they decorated at home. Both great fun!

@matthew0connor Used to go to bed with hand-socks. You would take said hand-socks off once he was asleep. He would get up in the middle of the night and put on more hand-socks. And repeat. I remember because Margot went through the very same phase.
