We're just 9 days away from the next deadline - this one is for full pay over 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦.

Although only a one week holiday for most, even just one week of full pay can make a big difference compared to one week of SMP or an unpaid week!

@cerysturner7 Yep, I only afforded 4 months off and worked till due day.

@fiona_616 @BAS_News @UKPolarNetwork There are some very talented students xx

@LDNgal25 My flexible working was denied so never got it. However will reapply next year

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

TLR part time! Has anyone had it raised to full wage given the new rules from 2026? I’ve requested 0.8 but no news yet.

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

So this is why women don’t have smear tests. The next 16 weeks available appointments (so that’s beyond feb half term). As a teacher this is impossible plus as a woman with a short cycle this is made harder .

@m_chiles Looks good. How much was it per pupil? Trying to work out if it’s possible for us but with poverty proofing

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@fiona_616 Blue line is really good

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@NicDowling16 I’ve just read your chapter it’s really interesting and like the assessment structure. Do you have some more info around the longer questions with the curriculum related expectations? Sorry for being cheeky! Thanks

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@GeogMum @Jennnnnn_x I’m a 1/3rd of away and really enjoy the ability to dip in to different things x

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@fiona_616 @The_GA Congratulations!!! Oh I miss the baby snuggles xx

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

Remapping paper 2 teaching - how many lessons do people have for urban? It’s our worst performing paper by far!

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@fiona_616 @Jennnnnn_x @GeogMum Looks so exciting!! Where can I buy it from? Xx

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

Anyone study tourism at ks3? We’ve been given an extra lesson from another subject due to staffing and been ask to do Tourism (long story)! Can’t find anything in textbooks etc! Thanks

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@MissCatnach I also find it really hard to do certain types of work like data analysis in the evening when I’m shattered, it’s like a constant guilt battle. Xx

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@GeeTheExplorer I’ll try this! Thanks!

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@GeeTheExplorer This is my challenge at the moment, 2 classes of 30, handful at the top, grade 2-3 about 60%, handful at the very bottom. Really challenging

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

Any advice to help improve results rapidly? QA of teacher is deemed good by external obs and internal (we are seen 2-3 times a week supportive). Yet in the actual exams they just don’t even write anything?!

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@manfrombootle @MissCatnach I avoid going in on results day - emotionally I hate it. I still check the results etc but looking at those who work hard but don’t get the results disappoint me xx

[queenofhumanities🌍 @QueenGeog]

@fiona_616 It’s a brilliant book!

Ever heard the myth that you must return to work before a school holiday to get paid for it? It's not true!🤯 This is persistent fake news, but let's set the record straight on returning from leave and holiday pay!
