Year 11 and Post 16 English Literature students attended a theatre production of The Kite Runner at Nottingham Playhouse today! The students had a wonderful time and were an asset to the school. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! 🎭

Really productive session leading the KS3 and KS4 team this week as we tracked our provision of viewpoint writing through the curriculum. Mapping out how the skills and knowledge build on each other, and ensuring that students have regular practice, was so useful.

Many colleagues are talking about the challenges we face with behaviour post-lockdown. Truancy, lateness to lessons and defiance can eat away at a school’s culture. The impact on pupils, staff and achievement can ultimately ruin the life chances of the most disadvantaged.

These students were so passionate about sharing their stories. Working with them for the day was a fantastic experience.

🧵 8 TIPS FOR TEACHING SUICIDE🧵 A few years ago it struck me that for years I’d been teaching texts featuring suicide - Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, An Inspector Calls - with absolutely zero knowledge of how to talk about suicide in the classroom, effectively and responsibly

Any advice or research around rewards? Looking to find ways to celebrate success and encourage motivation in English. I know physical rewards aren't always the best; what does work? @MrsSpalding @FunkyPedagogy
