Parents home schooling ... a gentle reminder .. don’t forget to read out the announcements, hand out detention slips/letters/ library book reminders and take your register within the first 10 minutes of tutor time tomorrow. Too many of you forgot to do it this morning.

@GillianKeegan
a question for you … reduce workload by 5 hours a week you say? how on earth do you think that’ll happen ? Start of the Easter break and I’ve spent about 12 hours marking year 11 mocks as there’s no time in the working week. Come spend a week with me!

Maths teachers of twitter. A plea. No matter what paper 1 looks like our students need us to be upbeat and positive with a view to papers 2 & 3 - don’t join in the twitter bashing of questions and papers until after paper 3. It’s not what is needed right now.

Some tips for tomorrow’s maths exam
1. Show your working out
2. Have a go at EVERY question - don’t leave a question blank
3. Keep checking/working until someone says “pens down” ... it’s really not cool to say you’ve finished after 20 minutes!!
4. Show your working out !!

So the cat is out of the bag … we got done a few weeks ago. Special measures to Good … best maths results ever to boot. Job done!
We are celebrating Ofsted judging the school as ‘Good’ across all areas. We’re so proud of our North family and the support of the local community recognising that with strong exam results and superb pastoral care, no wonder we are over-subscribed for September!

First observation is ... its 25 pages long! That needs formatting on 2 separate docs (H & F) ... then reduced in size ... 25 pages will be longer than most kids' revision notes! I'm on it!

Seriously. Anyone calling for exam reform needs to get in the sea. Come back in 12 months. At the coalface teachers are up their nuts in CAGs /TAGs & coping with a pandemic & if the only people involved in reform are non-teachers then that’s just wrong so back off.

The strike action was not just about pay ...
the fact that any offer is to come from EXISTING budgets means we HAVE to vote to reject the offer.
That would mean massive cuts at the coalface ... we can't recruit as it is. This is the perfect storm.
