Next up was our very own fabulous leader @EmmaHal39281100 discussing our experience of the new Ofsted framework & then explaining our new KS3 curriculum, where we started & how we have created an interleaved curriculum to revisit the skills. We are so proud of our journey so far!
Hi all, We lost another PGCE trainee today. Please make sure that they are never ever left alone by themselves anywhere on the school premises. Packs of Year 8 boys are hunting them for sport. All trainees will be issued with a whistle and a taser from Monday. Thanks x
Great day at ELE training with @MathsMrCox - really excited to be part of the @EducEndowFoundn @ResearchSchSMCA team!
