@Headteacherchat I’d love to have one of these, but there isn’t really the perfect one for me as a secondary head of dept/faculty. There are loads of us, so I’m sure there would be a market?

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@VEverettmfl I went super conservative with entries this year for exactly this reason. I’ve always been keen to keep as many on higher as possible to give them a chance at more than a 5. Doesn’t feel safe now,

@englishspecial I had my first dream last night-school trip plane crash / sinking boat!

@EastMidRailway paid £17.50 for 2 returns with a railcard form market harborough to Leicester. approx
30 min on the train total. A) massive rip off anyway b) air con didn’t work on the way out c) mad beepers going off all the way back. Disgusting that you’re allowed to continue

@AdamBienkov Oopsie, today I did spend a long time talking about how the real French croissants from a bakery are a thing of beauty compared to anything we get in the UK… it must be me. I’m the one doing all the poisoning! Sorry teaching profession- my bad!

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@Headteacherchat I always love these but you don’t make a subject leader one :( I’m head of several subjects in a secondary and I need something between the teacher and the assistant headteacher planner :p any chance there is something in the pipeline?

@celia_sauerman @NorthernGeogger @TobesJ92 @The_GA We’re looking at links between maths and geography as well- any chance you could send this on to me pretty please? Looks really good! [email protected]

@EClaireMFL I’ve got a feeling that’s a confusion with the new GCSE?

@katielockett @JoQuatsch I vent to my poor non-teacher husband while we walk around the block and he nods and makes suitably reassuring noises and occasional gasps of incredulity, well punctuated with questions about what’s for dinner. I’m one for stewing if I don’t get things out of my head!

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@CanvaEdu I’ve sent a DM

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@CanvaEdu I’m so desperate to use the education subscription, but no matter what evidence I upload I keep getting rejected and I can’t reach a human!! I teach in an English secondary school. Can somebody help me?!?!

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@canva I’m desperately trying to get my education privileges approved. I’ve uploaded multiple documents and I’m confident that I’m eligible, but teach in the UK. Can I speak to a human instead?

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@JoQuatsch We’re teaching some of the mental health bits in what was the family and relationships unit. So far not struggling too hugely to adapt to it :)

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@JoQuatsch So far I’ve mapped it against our existing SOW, have also split the vocab list up to create new learning Hws for ks3-4. Having just marked our y11 mock reading and listening I have to say I’m looking forward to some changes. We’ve been working on pronunciation a bit more.

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@JoQuatsch Keen for other people’s ideas!

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@JoQuatsch We’re already teaching it as y9 have already opted. Current y10 and 11 on old AQA spec x

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@mrsrsquires We do one end of y10, one now y11 and if I can sneak one in another in march…

[Hannah Sumner @hannity24]

@m_muir_modlangs @KnightswoodSec @KSSModLangs Love a sneaky grammar point within a cultural topic! So much more interesting than what can you do in your town could be! Great way to practise man Mann
