In the last weeks of the yr, I always returned to looking at how grammar instruction could be improved. I know frequent, low-stakes exercises tied in with SoL is key but, my goodness… it never is a ‘done’ thing, is it!? Sharing my poster here. #SPaG #teamenglish #litdrive

I’m in County Durham for #gcse results ⁦@HettonAcademy⁩ they’ve got a runway to results - staff here are buzzing - always a good sign

[branwen jeffreys @branwenjeffreys]

It’s all set up - with a bit of sugar to help that #gcse results rush ⁦@HettonAcademy⁩

[branwen jeffreys @branwenjeffreys]

Honestly some results days are just magic. Vicky Pinkney Principal ⁦@HettonAcademy⁩ where 79% got grade 4 maths or above compared with England average of 72%. To put that in context County Durham 67% Surrey 80%. A north east school with 45% free school meals smashing it
