Such a brilliant night with Lemn Sissay in Norwich last night. Witty, clever and funny. The poetry was good too!

Great opportunity here for a member of #TeamRE at Astrea Academies with @mrcarnaby.bsky.social. Having worked with Matt, he values RE and helped me find my confidence as a subject lead. If I wasn't so happy here in Norfolk, I would be tempted!

Really enjoyed this by @thewayofkueh.bsky.social. Well worth a read!

A dimension often missed in the discussion around whether children should enjoy lessons is that there are 30 in a class. Not everything appeals to everyone. A lot of top-level education discussions see schooling as individual, but it’s not: it’s collective.

Excellent blog by J A Maxwell on a whole-school approach to flashcard use. A focused approach to a small number of teaching (& study) strategies is likely to be implemented & sustained better because it allows a focus on quality & adaptation. niprincipal.blogspot.com/p/this-much-...

🫵New data on allegations against teachers🫵 @edaptuk.bsky.social recently carried out some research with our friends @teachertapp.bsky.social to find out what is really going on in schools and whether the problem is as serious as our casework data suggests...a🧵1/8 #ukedchat

Anybody else an Einaudi fan? There’s probably a fine line between enjoyment and obsession.

Christopher Such is one of my heroes. He is extraordinarily generous with his time and expertise and always thinks and communicates with extraordinary clarity. If you have questions or worries about the teaching of reading - he's the man to ask. Also, buy his excellent books.

Help me find a new Vice Principal! Our current pastoral VP is off to be a headteacher. It’s a big role in a big school. You’d be line managing Assistant Principals and have significant responsibility for the day-to-day running of the school. DM me: I’d be very happy to talk to discuss details.

Can’t say that I’m particularly surprised by this. However, of all the economic issues facing schools, is the massive investment in IT infrastructure to make this our childrens’ normal way of working before GCSE as critical as managing fragile estates?

Powerful read, this. Thank you @diannemurphy.bsky.social. @funkypedagogy.bsky.social have you seen this? We were talking about that 20% of children unable to read at transition! @englishassociation.bsky.social

Does anybody use, or know of anybody that uses, Lexonik or Lexia well in the secondary phase? I’m on a fact finding mission!

A lot of discussion lately about the reasons for the decline of Eng Lit A-level. Are the Gove curriculum & exam reforms to blame? I don't think so, because the decline of Eng Lit / the humanities more broadly is a global trend. More here.

Time for my own introduction then. I’m Associate Principal for a school in Barnsley. The school is part of Astrea Academy Trust, which has 4 secondaries in South Yorkshire and 4 in Cambridgeshire. Our South Yorkshire schools serve social-economically challenged contexts.

‘It is the interplay between curriculum and pedagogy which makes the magic happen.’ I’m not sure I understand the potential benefits of separating judgements on curriculum and teaching.
