Outstanding work by Abi in Y8 today as part of our Key Worker student classes. Wonderful poetry analysis!

When you ask Y8 to research Shakespeare's life and times and a student in @missb_eng's class produces 6ft of a coffee stained scroll with burnt edges and candle wax! Astounded 😍

A thread of YA books I have enjoyed over lockdown 📚👇

We’re proud to have teachers @BemroseSchool contributing to the @TeamEnglishNC live launch this morning. Up first @AViewaskew 🙌

This week our new Y11 are returning work given to them last week. Great revision here by Sahil @BemroseSchool.

Loving these revision flash cards and this redrafted imaginative writing by Taybah in our new Y11 @BemroseSchool. More fantastic home learning! 👏👏👏

Wow work from Vanessa K in our new Y11 @BemroseSchool in @AViewaskew’s class. Sophisticated interpretations of An Inspector Calls. Well done!

Brilliant work from KS3 & KS4 students from @BemroseSchool with @MrsSpalding & @AViewaskew. Reciprocal reader on ‘Hollow’ by @Vanessa_Kisuule & blackout story/poetry work with ‘The Hate U Give’ by @angiecthomas. The students were so engaged & made us proud. Great to teach again!

Amazing effort from the students this morning!

Outstanding home learning by Yassen in Y11 @BemroseSchool. This piece of creative writing was inspired by Natsume Sōseki's 'I am a Cat'. Superb!

2 of the 6 pages of English home learning emailed to @MrsSpalding by Amina Y10 @BemroseSchool. Keep up the brilliant work! 👏👏👏

Wonderful to see this article in the Derby Evening Telegraph celebrating our Y8 @BemroseSchool trip to Derby Book Festival. Pupils worked a professional performance poet and will have their work published! 🖌📝✏️

Y10 have had the best time at @DerbyUni this afternoon. Thank you to the Ed Studies TESOL students for having us!

Y8s are excited to be watching #Macbeth live this morning! What a brilliant opportunity.

Brilliant independent completion of Cornell-style revision cards by Diana F in @MrEllisEnglish’s Y11 class @BemroseSchool 👏👏👏

A productive blast of revision by Y10 today! @BemroseSchool 👍

Thanks to @AViewaskew reciprocal reader is paying dividends. I’ve seen significant increase in confidence reading unseen texts. All of these annotations were done completely independently 👏👏👏

I am v tired indeed today but two highlights from yesterday are helping me get up a) reciprocal reader now means Y10 can independently make sense of a challenging text b) a Y11 told me she’s aiming to study engineering @Cambridge_Uni (& I know she will get there) #pedagoofriday

You know the reciprocal reader is paying off when you find this in a student’s book @AViewaskew ❤️

Reciprocal reader as a consistent approach to reading to support inference and build independence
