We did exactly this 2 yrs ago for the same reasons. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for us. What has worked is an academy taking over with much higher expectations/presentation being much higher profile across the school, including children getting and keeping a pen for high standards of presentation.

I would say I’m about 5x more effective working at home as I’m able to focus for a sustained period of time without interruptions. We have limited space to work in school with no offices or quiet areas. I’d really struggle if I couldn’t have PPA at home. Helps with appointments/life admin etc too.

We had an actual snow day today! School was closed! We never close! It was a blessing having a day to process the term so far and get loads of jobs done that needed to be done and were cluttering my mind, but not high priority. If I was in charge, I’d give every teacher a day mid-term just for this

I’m going to have to try this rather than sitting in the darkness reading a book by my phone torch πŸ˜‚

I’m just reading the final book but have been saving the tv series for when I finished. Hoping it lives up to my expectations!

I don’t profess to know much about politics, and long ago lost all faith in any party to to put β€˜the people’ first, but I do feel more hopeful watching and listening to Zack Polanski of the Green Party. I wonder if this might be the change we need πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Thanks Rachel. I have this and maybe that’s all there is. In my head I remember there being resources on the disc but it’s a long time ago since I used it so I could very easily have imagined it! Appreciate your help ☺️

Big ask! Has anyone got a copy of the contents of the disc for the Grammar for Writing DFEE 200 materials that they would be willing share please? I still have my book but the disc is missing 😞

By the time you get into school on Monday, you’ll be able to say β€˜I finish next Friday’! The end is in sight!

I think we need a debate in this country about what education is for. We're
lost in a spiral about driving up standards whilst knowing many find school a terrible ordeal. Why is that? Learning should be joyful and a continual part of life

It's not just about turning out cogs for the economy.

A sketched landscape in pale powder blue, cobalt, yellow and a touch of Barbie pink. It is loose and suggestive.

A little pastel practice on this beautiful evening. This is a limited palette and exactly one hundred strokes, which appeals very much to my mathematical side (although my artist side is very annoyed at having to stop)

This is so true. My toxic trait is that I let perfection get in the way of progress 😬

The anxiety generated from the pressures of formal testing seem to use up a huge amount of cognitive resources leaving little for some children to actually showcase what they can do/know. Definitely not a one fits all system. (2/2)

My daughter just sat her GCSE’s. As a neurodivergent child, she struggles with β€˜performance’. Her french grade was markedly lower than her ability as she couldn’t get through the formal speaking test despite being in France for a week in the same month speaking near fluent French. (1/2)

Congratulations! Mine’s arriving today. Had it on preorder for ages since listening to you talk about it on a podcast. Exactly what I was looking for in terms of where we are on our curriculum journey so thank you!
