@_MissieBee There was a horrible adverb question which I think was about brothers - something like 'All of Bobs bothers were quite different from each other. Circle the adverb. I found some of the questions wordier than they needed to have been.
Wrote a blog about primary testing and SATs following the furore and it being on the news. You may disagree. I’m now putting my phone down and hiding for the weekend. smithsmm.wordpress.com/2023/05/12/sat…
@HeyMissSmith 1996 - Hi I'm new here. I'm happy to run the netball team, run a lunchtime club and take on 3 subjects in my own time. 2023 - I lost 5 mins of my PPA that I need paying back plus my ECT time and where is the voter for my leadership release time.
The reading paper for KS2 today was not fair.... Anyone else feel the same?
A number of School Leaders have shared their frustration with today’s KS2 reading test.
Today was not acceptable. I cannot believe what we put our 10 and 11 year old children through for the government. SATS must go. Today I have written to my MP and urge you to do the same. @NAHTnews @NAHTCheshire @simonkidwell @edwardtimpson
Over the next few weeks, primary schools have got KS2 SATs, KS1 SATs, Y1 phonics screening check and Y4 multiplication check. That's a huge amount of not massively useful data to gather, and it's just going to get in the way of actual teaching and learning.
What’s the equivalent of “helicopter parenting” for a wannabe president of a PM? “Vertical ministering” ? “Opti-mins-prime” ? “Out-of-touch wealth-squaffing” ?
Channel 4 News: UK has one of the highest pupil-teacher ratios in the world. A third of all newly qualified teachers leave within 5 years. We have one of the youngest teaching force in the world. Experienced teachers are leaving before retirement. A perfect storm.
Things I couldn’t do without a TA. 1) Interventions. 2) Support for children who need it in a class of 31. 3) Going to the toilet. 4) Having a friend in class. 5) A warm cup of tea when I come back from break duty. 6) Navigating drama so I can teach. TAs rock 🤘
@FloraSCooper One size fits all. Acknowledging that a small school where Ts lead 3 subjects each and have mixed aged classes is going to look very different to a larger primary or secondary. Currently it feels like there is no equity for small schools and curriculum development/leadership.

It doesn't matter what the PM said at the homeless shelter, it's the fact that someone in his team thought a man worth £730m giving a homeless person a plate of sausages and eggs would be good PR.
Testing out the sprouts with some pancetta, shallot, garlic and cream mixed into pasta. Yum! What’s on your menu tonight?
My mum always told me, if I lost her in the supermarket, to stand still at the end of one of the aisles and she’d find me. Unfortunately, Mr R’s mum had taught him the same, so we both spent about an hour standing still at opposite ends of Tesco yesterday. /1
Unboxing your author copies never gets old. There were times when I began to doubt we'd ever see a book like this. Yet here it is. Huge thanks to @tbradman and @scholasticuk For making it happen. The cover art work by Aletter Straathof is stunning. #football #inclusionmatters
People are leaping up and down at Joe Lycette because he once gigged in Qatar. So what? Working IN a country isn’t the same as being paid to promote it. See if that logic works for working in say… the UK. Jesus, people are just so eager to shout ‘A-ha!”.
Hi all, We‘ve been looking at next term’s calendar and have found a glaring error. There is CPD twilight session calendared for Sunday the 5th of February from 3:30 until 6pm. This is, of course, wrong. It should say from 3:30 until 7pm. Thanks x
