And if that wasn't enough, we're holding a charity event after school on Friday 14th July where the whole family can get involved! From inflatables to scavenger hunts, we have something for all ages to enjoy! Please come & join us to help us raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust!
Tonight we had Emma from the @TheRSC deliver some training to our English teachers on creative ways of teaching Shakespeare. Some of the best CPD I’ve ever had and reminds me why investing in staff is so, so important. Thank you!
Fifteen year old me is really thrilled to announce I've been working with
@bbcbitesize to create a series of podcasts @bbcsounds to help students studying English Literature at GCSE level. Great guests, three texts so far. Check them online or in the app:

If you had told 2022 me that 2023 me would be the kind of person who gets worried she might miss her Monday evening HIIT class because of traffic, she would have been like yeah right. Yet here we are, loving life 🫶
Last weekend we asked the 9,000 teachers on @TeacherTapp about the kindest thing a pupil or colleague had done in the past half-term.
3,285 of you responded and by response 647 I was in tears. You people are lovely ❤️
Here's a thread of, well, loads of them... 🧵 (Grab tissues)
This is my fifth year teaching Macbeth to y8 and NOTHING beats the reveal of Macduff being “untimely ripped” from his mother’s womb!! Nothing!! The gasps, the shock, the same discussion each year about who was a Caesarean baby and could defeat Macbeth 🥰
Wow… We’ve been blown away by the response to our Cancer Coffee Morning with Chesterfield FC legend Tony Lormor. Nearly 300 students turned up to hear him speak and to ask questions about his battle with cancer and the impact it had on his family and friends. @spireitestrust
Tonight’s weather is perfect for holding your rescue cat up to the window as a gentle reminder of just how good he has it in your house (especially in a cost of living crisis)
@BeckyCo68906971@egryall @daisythornelow @eviemay772 Ah I’m so happy that you’re enjoying it!! Yes, I’m so proud! Take everything they offer ✏️✏️ you are going to be such a brilliant teacher - keep us updated when you find out your first placements and let us know if we can help in ANY way 💜
As university enrolment days begin, I am thinking of my former Costa Ricans who are embarking on new and exciting adventures soon!! I’m so proud I got to tutor you through Y13 and I’m really excited to see you all flourish 💜
@egryall@BeckyCo68906971 @daisythornelow @eviemay772 These are completely normal feelings, you will be so settled in a few weeks and loving life! Have you found your SU? Have you looked at committees you could get involved with? It’s all so exciting!
@egryall@BeckyCo68906971 @daisythornelow @eviemay772 I’m missing you guys too! I have lots of funny stories that I know you’d all appreciate 😿 we really lucked out the day you chose English and you’ll take that same attitude to uni I just know it. When does enrolment begin?
Please remember my tutor words of wisdom: steal all the free pens wherever you go, eat the free pizza and do not ever doubt yourself. Life is too short to spend time worrying when you have so much potential team xxx
And I’m thinking of my lovely Lit/Lang group who will no doubt give their all to every single thing this next step throws at them @egryall@BeckyCo68906971 @daisythornelow @eviemay772 Mrs Penman and I are so proud of you all and we know you will smash it like you did A Level 🥰
