Mrs Dunleavy

Tweaked a booklet shared originally I think by the great Lyndsey Dyer @RealGingerella with help from @funkypedagogy recent guidance and support on the AQA 2026 changes, and using a resource from @Mathew_Lynch44. I hope very much you don't mind. drive.google.com/file/d/1GSETPP…

Politics is a new A Level for 2025. Just one of the 19 subjects on offer @aomsixthform. Come along to our Open Evening this Thursday 6-8pm to find out more

📚✨ Exciting news! Our new SHS Book Club is here, and the first month's theme is Gothic Tales! We will have 2 groups, each with 15 students. The first meeting is on 11th November after school in the library. To join, secure your spot and book through ParentPay. 🖤👻

We're extremely proud to announce the winners of our Year 7 and Year 8 Haiku Poetry competition! We were thrilled with all the wonderful entries. Well done to everyone that took part and a big congratulations to our winners! 🎉

📚Pupils in 9x3 and 9z2 wowed Mrs Dunleavy in English this week with their fantastic gothic descriptions, set as a homework task. It’s certainly got us into the Halloween spirit! Well done to you all for such great work! 👻🖤

@tyntesfield Great streaming from Stream, Lake and River teams!

@dnleslie @AlexJQuigley @RachelEJReeves shall I suggest the Falkirk wheel and counting to 10 in Japanese scheme?! Wayyyy ahead of the game 😂

Schools definitely should have a study skills curriculum—setting students up with essential tools for learning and retention. This article by @AlexJQuigley is a great place to start for those looking to build or refine their approach. alexquigley.co.uk/does-your-stud…

A common mistake in the 2024 AQA English Language P1Q3 is one we see year after year:

‼️🎃 ONLY 36 HOURS TO GO until my #UNCANNY HALLOWEEN ADVENT CALENDAR starts 🎃‼️ Every single day of October I’ll be posting a brand new mini case each morning here on my socials and on the Uncanny Podcast feed on @BBCSounds @ApplePodcasts @Spotify and all other platforms. And… as we countdown to Halloween, there may be a few more #Uncanny pod surprises along the way… 👻👻👻 Post with #UncannyHalloween if you’re getting excited, and, for these last few hours of September… don’t have nightmares… 😱

INTRODUCING THE #UNCANNY HALLOWEEN ADVENT CALENDAR... A brand new short case, every single day in October, each one a tiny bite-sized nugget of terror... #UncannyCommunity @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @Bafflegabble bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

The History Boys @AltrinchamG last night was brilliant. Bravo to the cast, director and everyone behind the scenes👏

A good book to get you thinking about transitions between schools and what schools are for.

Teaching Y9 Gothic fiction so reading more Gothic Fiction at home to refer to. This is a short story and would be great as a story to study in class @team

@backpainandwine Not unpopular with me 🙂

@JasonCocker7 I'm of the same mind. I couldn't start the year with a messy, chaotic room, moan about it during the year etc...

In school yesterday and today, getting the classroom ready for next week. I’ve seen a few tweets, questioning why some teachers do this. For me, it’s peace of mind. Cannot stand chaos on the first day of term.

@aliceetches There's a fair bit wrong with 90s/00s TV shows which I loved at the time but on reflection 😐😂 10 years younger is another one. Ladette to Lady.

Remember when Trinny and Susannah had a show where they’d make women stand in a 360 degree mirror room and tell them how shit they looked whilst dressed like this

This is a story set at the time of the Yorkshire ripper. It's a story about friendships, community and family. "Miv" is a great main character. @elockwoodmcr I think you'd enjoy this.

@elockwoodmcr 😂😂 you are THAT keen for September hey. I have multiple questions about this!xx

My worst nightmare happened today. I got locked in school. NEVER going in during the holidays again 🤣

@Team_English1 labels for my glue sticks with word facts on. Sticking in sheets will now take longer but at least they might look after the glue 🤷‍♀️
