@Shofiquez @CST_London @Mr_Bray1902 well done as I know Waterside massively contributed to the disadvantaged statistic.

Incredible news! The DfE has ranked @CST_London: -1st among non-selective MATs, -3rd out of 822 for progress, and -2nd for disadvantaged students. A huge thank you to our staff, governors, and community—this is your success! Together, we’re changing lives.

@Mr_Bray1902 Add a photo of our T-shirt 🤣🤣🤣

Waterside Academy has around 60% Disadvantaged and over the last 2 years got a P8 score of 0.77 and then 1.04!

@Mr_Bray1902 Dream team

@adamboxer1 @Miff__ Waterside.

@Miff__ Interesting which one?

It's progress 8 day! On the left, schools with over 30% pupil premium, ranked by the P8 of their pupil premium students. On the right, a chart showing the overall effect of increasing PP numbers on a school's P8. Firm takes are hard to make, but it's pretty striking.

@adamboxer1 @Mr_Bray1902 WA did good for their PP!

@agittner @adamboxer1 Because it is click bait for teachers wanting to be famous on twitter. I agree, awful.

@adamboxer1 Sometimes I am staggered by the way people debate education matters about children, I’ll say it again, about children! on here . A disgraceful comment no matter what you think about TLaC

Option 1: Phil does not know what the term "final solution" means Option 2: Phil knows what the term means, and genuinely thinks it's appropriate to use in reference to teaching strategies like "helping students to give answers, rather than just saying 'I don't know' and you moving on" Option 3: Phil knows what it means, doesn't believe any of the above, and is just desperate for attention YOU DECIDE Ps if you think this post is needlessly inflammatory and ad hom, please google "final solution" and try and figure out why I would post about it in this way.

@adamboxer1 I would add “yes, if you leave your phone on my desk”

“All schools should provide unrestricted access to a toilet, whenever the need arises. This means no school should have a policy of not allowing learners to use the toilet during lesson times.” LOL ok Tell me you don't work in a secondary without telling me etc

Actual A Level question from a textbook 😅 Maths in the 90s was wild

@awo_tem Supermum/superwoman alert

Leadership with a child isn't a walk in the park. My mornings are now full of tears, crumbs, giggles, cocomelon karaoke and checking cover. If I dare pause our karaoke, I have 5 seconds before she screams bloody murder.

A really great thread with practical tips on how to support teachers with a ‘tricky’ class. Enjoyed this read!

@GCSE_Macbeth @tayhumphreys_

THRONE and CROWN are used metonymically in the play to mean the Monarchy. THRONE appears 4 times. Macduff and Malcolm call it the THRONE. Macbeth only uses THRONE once, when he talks to Duncan: "Our duties are to your throne" (1.4) 1/
