Without the crossover they won’t get the higher grades so BOTH books would be what I’d recommend.

What I meant to say was don’t beat yourself up about it …. If we didn’t have planner I’d NEVER remember to do it. 😂

Our kids have old fashioned planners … can give positives in the moment so no faffing and in my case, inevitably forgetting to do it! No blazer, equipment, lateness … sign the planner. Boys need a clean planner to access the MUGA

A spiral staircase in a lovely concrete carpark. Out the top  of the stair you can see the sky, Edinburgh Castle, and the Red Arrows.

Haha! It worked!

I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh?

I have been lucky enough to secure KS3 lead for maths from Sept. Any pieces of advice or good blogs that touch upon this? @misswhitemaths.bsky.social @resourceaholic.bsky.social @justmaths.bsky.social @missradders.bsky.social @mrmattock.bsky.social @jemmaths.bsky.social

Anyone work in a school that's formally implemented scheduled skip-level meetings e.g. where teachers meet their HoD's line manager or middle leaders meet the head? I mean beyond a general invitation or statement that doors are open.

Niche request: I am looking for a book extract or could be blog etc that is suitable for Y12 students and deals with consent. I would rather it was about consent *within* a relationship. It is a reading task but pupils will reflect on the piece after, so as relatable and readable as poss.
Pls RT!!

Help please - my son has asked me to teach him OCR Additional Maths. It’s not widely taught any more, and I can’t find many resources - anyone got a recommendation for a good textbook please so I can just make sure I cover everything and he has something to work from? #ukmathschat
