@AQA @emilygeraghty Can I explain to you that as teachers we are actually teaching most of the day and then busy after school. We do not have time to ring and wait for you to answer our calls and queries #aqapay

@jaycgallagher They will struggle to get examiners in future with another week gone and no pay in my bank balance #aqa #aqapay @AQAEnglish @AQA

@Nutty1616 @AQAEnglish @AQA I’m owed too and emailed four times - haven’t even received a standard response…nothing. It’s shocking #aqapay #aqa

@caggalybaggaly @reading_woman I got offered a bonus for paper 2 English language but no sign of it or my missing pay and no response to my email queries #aqapay

Great opportunity to be inspired in your creative writing here #getcreative #Homeschooling2020 #boredchildren

@JoshClarke2002 Yes it is sad to hear that Josh but for some people home is not a good place. Great that you are working hard 😊

[Maria Freestone @incathecat]

I really want to clear something up: schools are NOT closed.Teachers, support staff and canteen staff are going in everyday to ensure there is a service for vulnerable children and those whose parents are working the frontline.We will work through all of this including our hols.

@GavinWilliamson Why is still ok for teachers and school staff to spend time with other people’s children but not their own family? Oh, and thank Boris for his public thanks to all accept school staff - sums up government disregard of school staff

@MissRegardless Not love - that’s just weird - but definitely make them feel safe, happy and care for their wellbeing alongside their education

A lovely way to end the term listening to all my KS3 students confidently recite poems they had chosen and discuss why. Even some they had written thenselves. All beautiful and poignant: even Spike Milligan’s 😄

@susydunne Love it!

@StephenSeki thank you for the best start to a teaching day @IscaExeter - you made me think about my dreams too even though I’m a teacher and not a student. Thank you 🙏🏼

[Maria Freestone @incathecat]

@BUBB1ES @literatelady @IscaExeter @The_Globe Great!

[Maria Freestone @incathecat]

Very excited to have tickets confirmed to take our wonderful students @IscaExeter to see Macbeth @The_Globe alongside trips to see An Inspector Calls and an adaptation of A Christmas Carol. What great opportunities 😊
