No way is @Ofstednews doing inspections on the last week of term in a primary school … wait no it is. Where is the teacher wellbeing???
DME activity where students build a civilisation (like Sims) then have to respond in real time to hazards! Great for end of term!

Predictions for paper 1 were pretty accurate if anyone wants to share with their classes! tes.com/teaching-resource/20…
One of my year 11s wrote in an ESQ today that “diseases like athletes foot spread in slums” I have NO words 🤦🏻♀️

The lovely library full of bean bags and comfy places to hide with a good book in my home town got shut down when I was a teen. A new one opened, clinically clean and full of computers, never saw anyone in there. I only went a couple of times, but didnt want to read at a desk.
MPs have launched an inquiry into why fewer children are reading for pleasure – and what schools are doing to get pupils into books

Since having a little desk top diffuser in my room my skin isn't dry at the end of the day and my excema isn't half as bad... plus my room doesn't smell of teenagers 😂 top tier investment
Someone once told me "you can teach a student a lot about a little, or a little about a lot" there's so many ways to read this. But should we cover more content in less detail, or less content in more detail?
Geography revision process for year 11 - worked a treat with mine last year so sharing for FREE. tes.com/teaching-resource/-1…
Fantastic example of a modern day peacemaker even better that he was besties with the Dalai Lama #AQARS
On this day in 1986, Desmond Tutu Awarded Nobel Peace Prize.
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent struggle against apartheid. This global recognition boosted the international anti-apartheid movement and highlighted South Africa’s racial injustices.

The real issue isn’t that we don’t have enough teachers - it’s that too many qualified teachers have been driven out of the classroom.
To make teaching a job that is compatible with family life again, we must:
- Tackle unsustainable workload: driven by large class sizes, high levels of pupil need, inadequate resources, and too few support staff. FUND EDUCATION
- End the regime of fear: scrap Ofsted’s punitive inspection system that inflates workloads. Halt the Nandos score card.
- Build in flexibility: guarantee at least 20% PPA time (with the option to take it from home), and allow staggered starts.
- Recognise teaching as a gendered profession: every school should have robust policies covering maternity, menopause, and conditions such as endometriosis.
- Raise pay: salaries must be competitive with other graduate professions.
