@serendipitythin Completely hear your point. But should we hold back progress just because the next stage isn’t keeping up? Or should we push for better learning environments for all, across the board.

@quietMissP Our school business manager is worth her weight in gold. Also, we’re quite good at getting stuff from Facebook market place, eBay, free cycle and never really use recognised companies!

@jcem No, they don’t. But should we hold back progress just because the next stage isn’t keeping up? Or should we push for better learning environments for all, now. We do a lot of transition work towards the end of the year too!

@DavidNautilus1 Absolutely! Our federated school @stedmundskent are doing lots of work on this at the moment and we took their lead on heights for writing.

@davinaswims If they experience shock in Year 7, that suggests secondary schools need to rethink their approach, not that we should make primary school less inspiring. Should we hold back progress just because the next stage isn’t keeping up? Or should we push for better learning environments

@tlander93 It’s our smallest classroom but probably slightly larger than your standard classroom!

@KGemfeldt Ah yes, because learning only happens when you're uncomfortable and miserable. Sorry we’re not stuck in your outdated dystopia—education has evolved, maybe you should too.

@abbiepost 32 in this classroom. Still plenty of space but it is a big room.

@MrCeeAHT Here’s a video of the rooms lower down the school:

@MrCeeAHT Lower down the school we learn through continuous provision so the furniture has a different purpose. It’s very unlike your usual setup!

@MrEFinch We’ve got 32 children in there! Some choose to stand, some choose to sit on the benches together but there’s plenty of room - in fact, we’ve found there’s more space than when we had the standard set up!

@SwailesRuth I can’t even get in the queue!

RT @TheEdPeople: Join us at our #KS1Conference! 📅17 June 2024 ⏰ 9.15am-4pm Keynote by @greatergadsby on practical strategies for engagemen…

Let’s talk all things continuous provision in KS1! For anyone in Kent and the South East, this is sure to be a great day. Delighted to be talking at this event!

@FloraSCooper @OPALOutdoorplay @HelenEastonOPAL @Sarah_Alexand ‘s school do amazing things at playtimes with this. Well worth a visit if you can get to @HernhillSchool !

@CAFCofficial They’re still a little too young to attend their first home game at the Valley but would love a shout out for Amelie and Isla Johnson at half time.

@TeachMrN We have one at St. Paul’s and I think it’s so valuable… I’m running a computer club this term and, honestly, the amount of young children that try touching the screen and neglect the mouse is quite something!

@joeb_EY Don’t take my word for it, but I posted this into my group chat of family plumbers and electricians. They said you need to get these to use it! That piece won’t work in your drill.
