@WYP_RPU @KirkleesCouncil @kirkleeshighway Hade Edge traffic calming being installed, but could you clarify if this signpost is correct? To me the obstruction is on the side of traffic coming into the village and therefore should give way. However, the signage says opposite 🤔

@skymobile since switching my phone in January the service is diabolical! Unable to access emails, apps including bus tickets and receipts, calls dropping. Paying for a service that is non-existent. If you are thinking of switching, DO NOT! #avoid #poorservice

Revolutionising Classroom Dynamics: The New Seating Plan Routine 🧵 This new seating plan routine not only aims to streamline the classroom entry process but also creates an atmosphere of discipline, engagement, and inclusivity right from the moment students step through the door. Setting the Stage: Preparing for Success The foundation of the new seating plan routine is built on meticulous preparation. Even before the students walk in, the stage is set for a seamless experience. A Do Now activity, pertinent to the day's lesson, is displayed on the board. For new classes, a visual representation of how their notebooks should be organised awaits them. This proactive measure ensures that students hit the ground running as soon as they sit down. Moreover, the teacher takes into account students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), Hearing Impairments (HI), and Visual Impairments (VI), making necessary adjustments to foster an inclusive learning environment. Armed with a paper copy of the seating plan, the teacher is poised to navigate the classroom dynamics with ease. The Grand Entrance: A Choreographed Prelude to Learning As students file into the classroom, a transformation unfolds. At the threshold, the teacher warmly welcomes them, reinforcing the classroom's expectations and punctuality. This establishes a sense of accountability while setting the tone for a productive session. To ensure a smooth start, students are directed to the back of the room, where the teacher elaborates on the initial expectations. Clear instructions are given: upon entering, silence is to be maintained, and they are to stand at the back until directed otherwise. This controlled approach serves to minimise disruptions and maintain a focused environment. The class learns that the routine is to be followed diligently, a valuable lesson in itself. A Symphony of Seating: The Conductor Takes the Stage With an air of authority, the teacher commences the seating arrangement process. Rows are called out in succession, with a visual prompt of a hand placed on the table. This methodical approach not only adds an element of anticipation but also reinforces the idea of waiting for cues. As the rows are called, students follow suit, settling into their seats, ready to tackle the task at hand. A particularly noteworthy aspect of this approach is its universal application. It's designed to minimise the typical chit-chat that often fills a room as students enter. This contributes to an atmosphere of immediate concentration, allowing students to fully immerse themselves in their studies from the get-go. Cultivating a Culture of Excellence: Nurturing a Silent Sanctuary As the routine unfolds, an unexpected outcome materialises: a room filled with students intently engrossed in the Do Now activity, almost instinctively adhering to the rule of silence. This isn't just a happy accident—it's the result of a carefully orchestrated symphony of actions and expectations. The teacher acknowledges the front row for their swift completion and then encourages the back row to catch up, fostering an environment of collaboration and mutual respect. A stern yet encouraging reminder of the importance of silence is issued—a reminder that transcends the classroom, teaching students a lesson in discipline and focus. A Multifaceted Approach: Beyond the Seating Plan The seating plan routine isn't just about organising students spatially; it's about establishing a holistic classroom culture. The teacher completes the register in silence, ensuring each student's presence is acknowledged. This routine emphasises the importance of accountability and attentiveness from the very beginning. Individualised Inclusivity: Latecomers Aren't Left Behind Latecomers are welcomed with a smile, reinforcing the message that everyone's presence matters. They're provided with the entry task, and the teacher personally addresses them shortly after. This individualised attention sends a powerful message of care and respect for each student, regardless of the circumstances. The Ever-Expanding Horizon: Carrying Forward the Vision The new seating plan routine isn't just about seating—it's about laying the foundation for a classroom culture of discipline, respect, and engagement. By meticulously orchestrating the initial moments of each class, teachers have the opportunity to mould an environment conducive to effective learning. In embracing this new routine, educators can revolutionise the way their classrooms function. With discipline, inclusivity, and student engagement at its core, the seating plan becomes not just a logistical arrangement but a cornerstone of an enriched educational experience.

If the latest workload reduction taskforce really wants to make a difference, it should look at eradicating the pointless tasks that clog up teachers’ working days, explains @DrSamSims tes.com/magazine/analy…
