@RARoberts1958 Or onward and upward… Happy new year!

All downhill now

@pollymackenzie This is so spot on. Another example: there is nothing teenagers are less interested in than mortgages etc and yet schools are told we should be teaching about them. Everyone blethers on about lifelong learning but this is really it. All in the timing.

@thomasforth Poor man’s Gregg’s. I brook no argument.

Not sure about this rebrand.

The young man on the left is having a whale of a time. It’s a great opportunity in a lovely school.

I’m delighted to be moving to become Principal of @durhamdubai in April 2025. It’s to be joining the school at a fascinating part of its journey. Best of all I am remaining within the Durham School family after 10 very happy years at @Dunelmia instagram.com/reel/DATPU5fSG…

We are delighted to open our brand new girls’ house today @dunelmia Lots of smiling faces and it already feels like home. #newbeginnings

@DurhamCricket Well done, Dan!

DANIEL HOGG. 7/66 on first-class debut. 👏⭐️ #ForTheNorth

@MaryCurnockCook @HEPI_news @educationgovuk @CommonsEd @ofqual @ASCL_UK Scaled score between 1 and 100? Uni offers effectively points scores? Much more flexible.

@HeadDurham @HEPI_news @educationgovuk @CommonsEd @ofqual @ASCL_UK Even more cliff edges!

This time last year I wrote for @HEPI_news about the reliability of exam grades - as A level results day approaches, it's worth sharing again. @educationgovuk @CommonsEd @ofqual @ASCL_UK bit.ly/457YWiV

An excellent analysis here.

@greg_ashman It is the law that any science lesson featuring musical instruments requires the playing of Smoke on the Water on a poorly tuned guitar.

Added some stuff to a Year 6 science lesson on musical instruments. I thought we should also discuss the synthesizer and play the opening of Don’t You Want Me. That’s core knowledge all young people should be acquainted with.

@DurhamCricket @NlandCCC Well done, Jonny.

Unbeaten 75* from Jonathan Bushnell backed up by wickets from de Leede, McAlindon & Gibson help Durham to a 3 wicket showcase win against @NlandCCC. ⬇️ #ForTheNorth

"only in London would you be able to jump off the train and hop straight into a pub within seconds" > sure Jan.

@FrSimonTSSF @Dunelmia Congratulations!

@berenyi_miki @anonymo49534939 @scottlavene Haha. That sounds perfect for an awkward long train journey.

@anonymo49534939 @HeadDurham @scottlavene This actually gives me renewed hope

Am about to give up on Duolingo because I’ve realised that even if you are completely fluent in a language it is absolutely impossible to complete the time trials

@berenyi_miki Hard to imagine a situation where that phrase wouldn’t be helpful.

@berenyi_miki I tried to learn Italian for a year. It took five minutes sat next to two Italian women on the bus to realise I had learned nothing other than to say the elephant wasn’t eating carrots.

@Samfr Has any other party in history utterly desecrated its support in five years…?

Sounds about right.

A great story @StEdwardsColl. Mr Kelly had the patience of a saint when presented with a pupil with negligible artistic talent. I never knew the extent of his. suttonelms.org.uk/arthur-kelly.h…

@MrMountstevens Treating it all like a game/laugh is certainly not a good look. Not is making money out of it.
