I’m desperate for a copy of Step Up To English Component 2 Silver Step Fashion Assessment Paper, if anyone has a copy, it’s been taken off of AQA/Secure. Anyone able to help?

Had the most amazing evening taking some of my year group on a theatre trip. But downside is we got home at midnight and there are no accommodations being made for tomorrow. Back to work for 7:30am. Exhausted!!!!

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

Is there anyone out there that would be willing to help me with some AQA A-level psychology resources? I’d be so grateful! First time teaching and planning is taking me quite a while.

@Hayo_luke Educake - couldn’t recommend it enough!

@joyofteaching21 @FunkyPedagogy Hi, it’s an entry level English qualification through AQA. We have decided to do it with our literacy groups to support them with their English GCSE and also ensure they are leaving with some English qualifications on top of their GCSE outcomes. AQA website has lots of details!

I want to be a better teacher. I want to be able to reflect on my practice and develop.

But I need more hours in the day🥲

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

I MUST get some lesson planning done today but it is just tooooo hot

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

@missgeog92 I’ve ordered it 🙋🏻‍♀️ going to be perfect for my office which unfortunately has no windows! Thanks for the recommendation

I’m sure this has been asked before, but I can’t seem to get a clear answer. If a student has a 4 in English Lit but a 3 in English lang, do they need to resit language or does the lit grade give them a pass?

First results day as a head of year 11 done. Feel exhausted this evening. A mixture of emotions, some amazing results and some gutting moments for my students. Now time to think forward to the new young people I’m taking into year 10!

I’m doing a bit of traveling this summer and yesterday I met an Australian Teacher. She has been given a years leave with some pay after 7 years of work and will have her job when she goes back. She’s using the year to see the world. Wish that was an option for English teachers

Two weeks until the summer holidays. Two weeks until the summer holidays. Two weeks until the summer holidays. Two weeks until the summer holidays.

Prom ✅ such an exhausting week getting everything ready and prepared but SO worth it seeing my lovely year 11s enjoy themselves x

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

@MissCatnach Sending the same your way 💚

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

I could have written this exact tweet about last week (and I’m sure the next 5 weeks…) still have a prom to plan, yearbook to complete and have already taken on a new year group (year 9). Exhausting is an understatement.

People underestimate the pressure on HoHs/HoYs. I now have "gain time" so only teaching 9 hours a week for the rest of term but believe me when I say that makes my job harder, not easier. Being in my office means absolutely nothing gets done apart from dealing with behaviour. 1/

@TicketsForGood we’ve arrived at reading stadium for the football match with our order confirmation and they’re saying they don’t have a list so can’t give us a ticket? Help please

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

Today really sums up how rewarding being a head of year is. This year has been one of the toughest but my year 11s really made me feel special today 💕

[Sophie May @misssmay94]

Who stayed at work until 8pm to finalise the Year 11 leavers assembly? Me. Who found out when they got home and opened their laptop to do more work that it didn’t save? Also me. 🤦🏻‍♀️
