@EngHathershaw It was my pleasure!

We were so grateful to @lottlearning for marking our Y11 literature mock exam papers ✍️

Testimonial @EngHathershaw Really pleased to share this feedback from Fay Stafford, English Curriculum Leader @HathershawC, following my marking of their GCSE English Lit mock exams. If you would like support with exam marking (English Lit or Lang), get in touch.

If your department would like support with exam marking (GCSE English Lit or Lang), please get in touch and I can share availability, turnaround times and a straightforward pricing outline. Contact: lottlearning@hotmail.com 07870306336

Schools often need marking support that is accurate, consistent and reliable, but also genuinely useful for next steps. Alongside the marking itself, I provide an examiner report and optional question-level analysis to help pinpoint the key areas to prioritise for teaching.

Sustainability Saturday ♻️ I was so proud to have been featured on the Chester Zoo website after representing Hathershaw College and being awarded the Outstanding Conservation School Award 2 years ago! youtu.be/y0PYoNCdXQQ?si…

Workout Wednesday This week at A Lott of Drama we are going full physical theatre 💪🎭 We’ll be: ✨ creating group objects using only our bodies ✨ experimenting with centring (leading with a part of the body) Book your place: 07870 306 335 lottlearning@hotmail.com

Sustainable Saturday As Buy Nothing New Month wraps up, I’ve been thinking “new” feels like the default, when it really doesn’t have to be. Reusing, repurposing, repairing and rehoming keeps items for longer and helps prevent waste. What habit would you like to keep going?

Workout Wednesday At A Lott of Drama we’ll be trying out waiter plate, hot seating comical characters and Captain Jack Sparrow will be making an appearance!

Feel Good Friday 🎶✨ There’s nothing like a good sing to lift your mood and your boost confidence. I’ve got a couple of 1 to 1 weekly singing lesson slots available in Eccles: •Saturday 1:00pm (30 mins) •Saturday 4:15pm (15mins) To book for your child, message me.

Workout Wednesday 🎭 Tonight at A Lott of Drama we’re doing one of my fave improv games: Party Quirks. • quick thinking • big character choices • listening and reacting • loads of laughs while confidence grows Drop me a message to check spaces and book a free trial.

Testimonial Tuesday 💜 Nothing makes me happier than hearing how much the children enjoy class! At A Lott of Drama we build confidence, imagination and performance skills in a fun, supportive space. Want to give it a try? Message me to book lottlearning@hotmail.com
