We have an exciting opportunity for an excellent teacher & aspiring senior leader to join our Holbrook Primary School family as a Year Leader. The post will most likely be based in Key Stage 1.

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday.

Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it.

The Reading Map - A Primer
YouTube video by Christopher Such The Reading Map - A Primer

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.

*Attention all @insighthq.bsky.social schools* The new cohort attendance report is now available in the report menu. It’s ace!

Check it out and let us know what you think.

New! A post that summarises some of the developments, trends and resources for maths teachers from the past year.

Kind of like a mega-gems-catch-up post to make sure everyone is up-to-date. πŸ’Ž

I’ve started asking this appraisals (as well as exit interviews!)

- Teach me to use the photocopier & make sure my login works on every single one in school
- Have someone sit with me while I try everything out on the IWB software I’ve never used before

Just done a new one for us from Sept (with help from everything ever written by @jonnyuttley.bsky.social /TEALπŸ™) - great engagement with unions on it too.

@samgibbs.bsky.social and I would like to speak to BAME teachers who have been in the classroom for 20+ years plus about what has helped them stay in the profession. Please RT and get in touch if you can help

Been on here much more than that other place this week so I think it’s time to share my finest edu-achievement with #edusky …

I have been cold-called by @douglemov.bsky.social

@andrewpercivaled.bsky.social is also in this club & may be exploring t-shirts…

Read & re-read this over the last few weeks. It’s a must-read for school leaders IMO πŸ‘‡

Thank you @samcrome.bsky.social

Hi there #edusky πŸ‘‹

Anyone willing to share their staff handbook (or whatever document outlines β€˜the way we do things around here’) please? Or maybe share what is (and isn’t!) included in there? Grappling with making it concise without leaving anything to chance! TIA πŸ™
