@Sarah_zee123 Thank you- I have this, but was hoping for something a bit more user friendly. I find this a bit wordy:) many thanks for replying

Before I make one with my limited skills, does anyone have a booklet for staff supporting with SATS with all the rules about what you can and can’t do in the tests?

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

Please share the pshe schemes you use for primary and whether or not you rate them. TIA

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

We have a TA who is becoming a bit overwhelmed by the constant noise in school - works with the littlies and does wraparound club as well! Was wondering about loop ear plugs to support. Anyone used them themselves? Views?

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

@NJ2878 You too x

Cannot believe I’m at the stage where I’m changing my bio to say I’ve been a HT for 6 years. Still absolutely winging it 😂

The 🇮🇱 flag was included in the London Eye New Year’s display. The Star of David wasn’t removed. The flags were small, animated and part of a sequence forming the Union Flag. Visibility issues affected several blue & white flags, not Israel alone. No evidence this was antisemitic

@HappyHead74 All the best for 2026 Vic x

@akelahall Thank you. We had a chat with test base today. Look good tbf

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

Hi, what tests do people use if any? We currently use NFER but are shopping around. Particularly interested in maths tests which align with ncetm. TIA

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

Thanks this is helpful @cully34

Year 6 teachers using NCETM. Does this map provide appropriate coverage before the SATs or do we need to move some things from summer 2 to earlier on. Supporting a colleague and would appreciate your help

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

It hasn’t been a negative experience. The chap is lovely and just has a job to do, but the suggestions chip away at our core

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

So….we had our SMRA report…feel absolutely bereft. All of the suggestions will directly and negatively impact student and staff wellbeing. We’re a good school with an excellent reputation for SEND provision. Not for much longer 😭If I could afford to walk away I would.

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

@CrowtherSim I feel the same! I have one trying to get a PHD place and it’s killing me! Desperate to go full teacher mum and march in there 😂

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

Yesterday the teaching Gods conspired against me! First the adverts on you tube were ‘who gives a crap’ followed by ‘Always’ and then the page number in the atlas was 67 !! All followed by our Halloween sprint in the afternoon. Pretty much gave up 😂

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

We have a year 6 boy that likes a bit of horror to read. Any recommendations for suitable books? Bonus points for short stories x

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

@HappyHead74 Sending love Vic x

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

@HappyHead74 So pleased to hear this xx

[TheVHT @the_VHT]

Primary’s that teach French well. Please raise your hand. I have questions x
