My school started a boys mentoring scheme. I signed up. You meet with them 1-to-1 regularly and have a chat. A heartwarming way to help our lovely boys to be the best they can be in all aspects of their life, school and beyond. This is my story with Aiden so far. #ECT#education
Today was a big one... last GCSE maths exam marked the end of a fantastic 5 years with this group. Motivated, hard-working and resilient are words that don't cut it for this lot! I couldn't be prouder to have been your teacher.❤️ 80%+ going on to do A-level. My job is done!
A reminder of a 'best guess' predicted paper 2 I made last year. Useful if you need some originally written question practice for GCSE Edexcel Statistics paper 2 tomorrow.
The English word “set” has 430 different meanings listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, giving it the longest dictionary entry at around 60,000 words.
NO WOMAN IS SAFE FROM ISLAM
Not even in their masjid, where they are regularly subjected to rape and assault behind closed doors.
Muslim men dressing as women seems to be a common occurrence.
We have millions of these men here.
I am starting a series on teaching "hard-to-teach" topics in GCSE maths.
The first of these articles looks at vector proof, and how teachers of maths might approach teaching vector proof so that it makes sense for more pupils.

I would love to hear if this has worked for others, but if not what has.

Iranian schoolgirls dancing fearlessly and hijab-free in the streets show EXACTLY why Khamenei fears the younger generation of Iran.
The regime has poisoned their schools, tried to crush their spirits, and unleashed brutal oppression- but their defiance is stronger than ever.
Those who try to suppress this generation will be left behind.
Share their story. The world is watching.
#WomanLifeFreedom #FreeIran
In France a man arranged for dozens of men to rape his drugged wife
A male mayor said it wasn’t that serious
In the UK a man orally raped an unconscious woman until she died
A male copper shared the footage with mates
But we are supposed to suddenly pretend men aren’t a risk?
Y10 linear graphs topic test. My assumption when choosing this question was that students would substitute the points in. I love that this student used almost a proof by contradiction to show what equation a line with a gradient 5 going through the point (-2,-4) would have.
Right, hit me up with your go-to, easy school lunches.
I don’t mind prepping ahead but I’m not eating something on Friday that I made on Sunday afternoon, sorry.
No egg or anything that involves fish or capers. Go!
