Thank you to @PeActive for coming in the other week to deliver academic PE CPD. Fantastic discussions on T&L across the department, and still on going now. Great to see the consistency of GCSE and A Level both improved as a result!

[Rachel Booton @RunningBoot_on]

Looking forward to @PeActive delivering a day of GCSE and A level PE CPD @QueensTaunton @QueensCollSport tomorrow. #alwaysimproving #alwayslearning

It was our sixth form open evening last night, and so engulfed in delivering the taster activities, speaking to students and parents etc, I didn't even mention that we got an #ALPSdata score of 1 for the summer exams. Interesting thought - does rapport matter more than data?

[Rachel Booton @RunningBoot_on]

@Mr_BOWATER @ShareLearnT Okay, thank you! Where can I find these?

[Rachel Booton @RunningBoot_on]

I remember speaking to BTEC teachers on here the other year, and there were rumours of BTEC changing for 2020 start, possibly more exams? Is this correct or not, have done some research but only found the change in the 2019 boundaries? @Mr_BOWATER @ShareLearnT TIA.

Sunday blog post - this time on 'Live Modelling' using some hidden features of powerpoint. This has revolutionised my teaching (particularly of exam questions) in the last few years. Fully downloadable resource and instructions for getting started! https://t.co/61DthVMevb

Our U15 tennis girls, who won the Aegon Cup Regional Finals at Taunton Tennis Centre, were formally recognised this afternoon when they received their medals from Dr Earps during Chapel.
Well done to the two Emilys, Elise and Pippa ... a great achievement!

Winning smiles from our U15 girls as they celebrate their success in the Aegon Cup Regionals at Taunton Tennis Centre today ... we're so proud of the two Emilys, Elise and Pippa!

@AQA will send you a DM question about the GCSE PE spec for hockey and using the key skills for coursework.

Our Aegon Cup #tennis team of Emily D, Emily R, Elise and Pippa are through to the regional finals after a run of victories in their opening matches.
We are looking forward to finding out who our opponents will be along with details of finals day in the Autumn Term.

Really chuffed to have been asked to play in a Barbarians team against the @EnglandHockey masters teams tomorrow in prep for their Europeans. #GoSmashIt #ComeOnEngland 🏑🏑🏑

@missdanielspe Get out in the sun! Go for a run, find someone to play tennis with?

[Queen's Coll Sport @QueensCollSport]

More great sports news as the U15 girls' tennis team of Emily, Elise, Pippa and Emily had a flying start to the Aegon Cup with a 12-0 win over @HeathfieldTA2.
The girls show great promise for future rounds and are looking forward to the next match v @wellingtonsch1

@KatieKbentley @ShareLearnT @AQA Thank you!

[Rachel Booton @RunningBoot_on]

@ShareLearnT @AQA any advice from anyone doing AQA A level PE on first time coursework moderating? Another long standing teacher does this strand, and I've looked at marking grids. Tips/advice on what is excellent in top bracket etc? TIA.

@j8rhodes @ShareLearnT @AQA Thank you!
