One of my Y13 students wants to do their #edexcelhistory NEA coursework on queer history. Any suggestions of possible questions for this would be greatly appreciated. Or any resources you can suggest to get him started. @MarkBattye

Will definitely be sharing this with ITT/ECT teachers next term.

Lovely to see Y11s getting their results today. Great to see some getting top grades but result of the day for me was the lad who had worked his socks off for two years and beat his target grade by 3 grades. #HardWorkPaysOff #proudteacher

On every occasion, there have been two main objections. In case its useful for others, this thread sets out what they are, along with my own attempts to answer:

We are very lucky to have 4 occupational therapy students working on projects to redesign our staff room & school garden, with a wellbeing focus. We’d love to hear ideas about what to include/avoid and see any great examples. #teacher5aday #Wellbeing #staffroom
