Teachers are spending 2 hours a day on admin tasks – but giving them the flexibility to do some of these tasks at home would ease the workload pressure, a new government-commissioned report says

Parents, if your child goes on a residential between now and the end of the year, go and give the teachers a quick thank you when you pick your child up.

You’d be amazed how little it happens, and it means a huge amount.

And just like this it’s the final week of the half term! We’ve had a super half term across our partner schools and some outstanding work at @StGeorgesDerby & @StJames_Juniors and AJS @MrTivey in our PE units! 🤸‍♀️ 🏏 🏋️‍♀️

[Riley Sport & Fitness @Riley_Sport_Fit]

Mr Riley and Miss Scothern had super mornings delivering both Boxing & Multi-Sports at both Sawley and Bennerley sites @EsteemMat.

Miss Scothern has worked with year 6 this at @StJames_Juniors for their treat day post SATS. Whilst Mr Riley worked with @MrTivey AJS year 3

@NatG254 Fortunately for us, we’ve so far avoided it but we’ve set the wheels in motion. What I’d give just to keep things ‘fun’ for the final couple of months

[NCC Teacher @MrTivey]

Just when children think they’re off the hook with sats, writing moderation comes knocking, and with that, more stress. #sats2023. The resilience of children is definitely underrated.

[Riley Sport & Fitness @Riley_Sport_Fit]

Mr Riley is over to AJS this, boys football training at lunch then an afternoon delivering Gymnastics to year 4 and on to packed our football after school club!

Miss Scothern is at @StJames_Juniors delivering Dance this morning, lunchtime, 3 PE lessons and after school clubs!

After getting some illegible answers in a maths test last term, I showed this to my class and asked them to tell me what number I'd written. I got a wide variety of answers!

[NCC Teacher @MrTivey]

So far

Punctuation and Grammar paper = Fair.

Spelling test = Hardest I’ve ever seen

Reading paper = Hardest since the 2015/2016 uproar

Prediction for maths = Trigonometry #sats2023

[NCC Teacher @MrTivey]

#sats2023 That reading paper was brutal. It seems as though it was specifically designed to allow children to stumble. Mistakes are likely during a stressful week due to the unnecessary pressures that come with SATS but it’s totally unfair to go looking for those errors

[NCC Teacher @MrTivey]

Looking to keep the costs of a residential down for my year 6s next year. Can any aspect of it be paid through Sport Premium if it is justifiable? Advice welcome.

Glorious afternoon with year 3 athletes yesterday. We worked through running, focusing on speed, agility and stamina and throwing using 2 types of throw over short and long distances. All in preparation for what will hopefully be a sports day in Summer 2 ☀️
