Nine years since my last half marathon, I'm running London Landmarks Half. With an ageing body and dodgy knees it ain't going to be fast & it ain't going to be pretty but I will finish! Hoping to raise £500 for @samaritans.bsky.social If anyone is able to support me I'd be enormously grateful.

***New Blog Post*** Don't hate the player, hate the game. Why the system, and not schools, is the problem. First post in a long while looking at values and school choice. Inspired by the discussions about P8 day... #UKED #EduBlogUK #Edusky musingsofadr.wordpress.com/2024/12/13/d...

Amazing results for Michaela

Still getting over the grimness that is the Assisted Dying Bill. Here is Dianne Abbott at her finest. A reminder that even if I don’t agree with 90% of what simeone says doesn’t mean I shouldn’t listen at all. youtu.be/Fcg0ScHeML8

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... One amazing teacher and colleague. Making an absolute difference in EYFS where it matters and setting those children up for all the possibilities and opportunities they deserve. Well deserved Natalie. ❤️

Stanley Road Primary School Writing Curriculum  As teachers know, you can’t teach a child to write (well) in a lesson, a term, or even in a year. Alas, it takes years. Nor can you wind the… https://masteringwritingmastery.wordpress.com/2024/11/26/stanley-road-primary-school-writing-curriculum/

I remain entirely unconvinced that the main purpose of schools and colleges is to 'meet the needs of employers'. www.thetimes.com/article/6e82...

Will the new National Curriculum get subject progression right? Or will weak subject content send us backwards? Third blog on subjects in new National Curriculum. heatherfblog.wordpress.com/2024/10/20/b...

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.

Got to give to Baron Trump - Joe Rogan was a good call.

A new blog on the curriculum and assessment review and why I would like to see a National Curriculum for RE. #TeamRE rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/i...

🚨 NEW POST 🚨 ‘Do we need to learn how to listen?’ “In our age of mass, never-ending communication, listening may just be the lost art that we need, in the classroom and beyond.” alexquigley.co.uk/do-we-need-t...

I am speaking at #LitdriveCPD25! 😍 Session Title: How to Read a Poem To book tickets: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1016588552... It was truly fabulous last time, so don't miss out on the nerdery 🤓 @LitdriveUK #LitdriveCPD

‘If you can’t see it you can’t be it.”Genuinely want to know how anyone thinks there is anyone to be seen in the first place then. It’s just comes across as a pithy saying to justify token representation. How that person became a trailblazer is more interesting, complex and useful answer.

New blog! Will a return to inquiry learning be mandated in the newly compulsory English National Curriculum? heatherfblog.wordpress.com/2024/09/29/t...

I know I wrote the thread on the bad place but will say it here too. Stanley Road Primary School is a remarkable school and actually inspirational. @andrewpercivaled.bsky.social is most definitely walking the walk. x.com/teach_well/s...

Just hoping that the pink line in Manchester is in fact Platform D right now… that’s all.

Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made a short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map. youtu.be/JvtUxB5WM1k?...

Quinoa... not hating it as much as I thought I would but sense tons of paprika is the reason why. Seems likes the kind of thing @bennewmark.bsky.social would eat.

I took the liberty of making a starter pack for all the speakers at #rED24 so people can follow as many of them and there are two feeds as well. please share go.bsky.app/6C8kW2C

Some fantastic tips here. I might add a couple.

Doesn’t this look amazing? Come one come all to this free webinar educationrickshaw.com/2024/08/28/r...

I’d like to see principals and leaders come to this webinar. They set the tone for academic rigor and learning. They communicate, implicitly or explicitly, how time should be used in the classroom. We desperately need vision and instructional leadership. educationrickshaw.com/2024/08/28/r...

This book will be EPIC! @mrzachg.bsky.social has an excellent way of communicating complicated ideas clearly. Here is the UK pre-order link to his book: www.amazon.co.uk/Just-Tell-Th...

This is a great book

English and Phonics Leads, do you know about your local English hub who can come to your school and carry out a phonics/early reading audit? We had ours from the Wandle English Hub, which resulted in a £6k payment for us to spend on improving our phonics offering! #EduSkyPrimary #EduSky #Phonics
