No better way to spend a sunny Friday evening than a softball game with friends! Sefton Women, you are the best!

[Sefton Park Women's Cricket @spcc_women]

A first in my cricketing career, a draw in a HB pairs match! A fabulous 4 from Captain Katie to get us to the 275 that @oxcc_women got in the first innings, what a way to get us to the first draw (I think!) for Sefton Women! Well played everyone 🏏🥰💗🎉💪💃🏾

[Sefton Park Women's Cricket @spcc_women]

Thanks to @tarletoncc women for a great match this morning, played in the sunshine, an absolute delight! Next stop, T20 @LancsCricketFDN semi finals! Special mention to @Sarah_Jackson for her 50 not out before retiring! 🏏💪🎉

2 games this week for the HB development team, 2 very different outcomes! Great match v @SNBLadiesCC who beat us by a cool 100 runs on Tuesday!!! But so much fun to play them. Then tonight a hard fought win v @HT_Hurricanes in the plate competition, what a week!

@Becs2905 Hi, we’ve stuck with NGRT but put a lot of effort into making the testing process a lot more rigorous, informing parents & students in advance, using the same staff to lead the testing, ensuring conditions were similar to formal exams so that the data will be more reliable.

[Ciara O'Connor @oconnorciara]

Do any literacy / reading leads have an opinion on NGRT v Star Reading assessments to identify intervention cohorts? Or an alternative which really works? Thanks #reading #literacy
