Some schools do a test at the end of every topic. For some, this can mean 10 tests a year, not including end of year.

This may be trying to game the testing effect, but this isn't increasing outcomes as much as you may think.

We test three times a year.

2026 LANGUAGE EXAM: I shared this series of lessons last year, but I’ve gone back and revised them to reflect the changes to the AQA English Language exam for 2026. Covers both papers. Use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1 https://t.co/CBoEx657T2

[Stuart Pryke @SPryke2]

UPDATED RESOURCES: Slowly updating, tweaking and/or completely replanning bits and pieces to reflect new thinking and approaches. This contains updated P&C lessons, literature revision and the new 2026 language lessons shared previously. Help yourselves! @Team_English1 https://t.co/ho2yY1egQg

1/2 My dad unfortunately collapsed and passed away at the Wolves game last Monday night, he had to be carried up stairs from his seat in block 123 to be able to have CPR performed on him, his watch went missing when he was moved and we desperately want it back..

Why is it always down to women to complain about men’s terrible behaviour? Has no man ever seen what Gregg Wallace was up to and called him out? Every single bloody time. No man ever speaks up.

[Sophie @Fifijane83]

@Xris32 Very similar to Mary Oliver’s ‘Don’t Hesitate’. I love the sentiment.

26-year-old Kyle Clifford is being hunted by police.
It’s a fast moving situation and there’s a lot we don’t know.
But there is one thing that we DO know. And it’s depressingly, devastatingly familiar.
Three woman are dead.
They were killed in their home.
A mum, she was 61, and her two girls, 25 and 28, both in their twenties - that decade when you’re working out who you want to be and where you want to go with your life.
But for them, that’s now over.
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the United Kingdom.
That number has been remarkably consistent for the last twenty years.
Women are also much more likely to be killed by someone they know - two thirds of them are killed by a current or former partner.
“Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home.
Remember the three women killed at home in Bushey were still alive when the emergency services got there.
Yvette Cooper – the new Home Secretary – has said the killings are “truly shocking” – and she’s being kept fully updated on the case.
During the campaign, she said that violence against women and girls will be treated as a national emergency under Labour.
And less than a week into the job… three women killed at home. It certainly feels like an emergency.

V bored of the private school debate. If they didn’t exist & the elitists had to use state schools you better believe state schools would dramatically improve. Nobody spending £15-30k a year is ‘on the breadline’.

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs.

They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

Look after your staff team.

Listen to them.
Include them.
Trust them.
Praise and value them.
Empower them.
Enable them to learn and develop.
Let them take risks.
Enable them to have a work life balance.

That's the key to solving the retention crisis.

@4myJessBrady I am so so sorry. What a devastating waste of life. Your article made me cry. Keep fighting for her. You are her purpose now.

📚 As promised, the library support booklet I've been working on. It follows the reciprocal reading model and will hopefully be of use to some. Special thanks to @alwayslearnweb for providing the extracts! #literacy #ReciprocalReading https://t.co/0K5XsXFuvE

[Hannah Fry @FryRsquared]

Forgive me for posting this on here, but we’ve had a disaster 😭😭 My little girl has lost her much loved soft bunny.

Anyone in @Gatwick_Airport South? Could you keep an eye out? Looks like the pic - white bunny with a stitch on its bum. Slightly yellow from years of love 💔

[Sophie @Fifijane83]

@AlwaysBeMarking What’s wrong with it?

[Sophie @Fifijane83]

@henry_the_brave I’m so so sorry

[Jill Foster @JournalistJill]

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

[Sophie @Fifijane83]

@mmgiovanelli @EnglishAston Thank you. Where can we sign up for the A level event?

[Flora @FloraSCooper]

As I keep getting asked:

This is the petition you need to sign urgently - Julia Waters has just asked if we could get more to please sign. Retweet, send to all social media sites, whatever you can! Thank you!
