Lovely to play at Bedford School with some ex-colleagues from my old schools trust. Fun evening and a great 8 run win 🏏

@Mr_HuttonPE @Cambs_PE do you have any thoughts on this you could share?

Looking for advice! A friend of mine works at a school who have a new build and has discovered that it was thought wise to have a grass run up to their jump pit.I've never known of a grass run up in any school I have worked in or visited and can only see it as a h&s risk at best.

My first term as a Head of Year has come to an end in the most fitting of styles... Our celebration assembly, recognising all the fantastic work and achievements of my year 11s across the last few months 🎉

Very proud of my Y11 cohort these past couple of days! Behaviour & attitude to learning was exceptional over 2 strike days where they were the only main year in school. Then the Y11 boys football team secure their only win of their secondary school career! Finishing on a high!

My school @AdeyfieldSchool has just been inspected as Good by ofsted & are increasing capacity across all years and are on the look out for outstanding colleagues to join us as we continue to grow & expand. Let me know if you're interested & want to find out more #edutwitter

Ofsted on my 2nd & 3rd day in the school... Quite the start! It was a fantastic experience to be a part of seeing students & staff being so proud of their school! It made me sure I'd made a great decision to join the team & I am very proud to work in this GOOD school! 🎉

First half term at my new school complete! Taking on my first head of year role with year 11 and having ofsted in my first week! It's been a roller-coaster 5 weeks and enjoyed every moment of the challenge so far... Here's to a well deserved half term break!

At the 2022 #ECTConference we ranked highly in the pen rating started by @JoeH_PE. After 12-months of intensive R&D, we're back for 2023 with a whole new design 😎 We can't wait to hear from ECTs where we stand in the 2023 ratings 😄 Get collecting and let us know! ⤵️

@mynewterm @ChilternTSH Now those are some fine looking pens, hope they write as good as they look and that this year's conference went well 👌

@AimeeRE_ I found my roles through @mynewterm great and easy application processes

Best places to look for ECT jobs? Continuously looking on .gov teaching vacancies but wondering if anywhere else is useful? Hampshire based

1. Take time to go to your happy place/do something for you 2. Be aware of needs & how to best support individuals in your class 3. Use student voice to ensure the student body feels represented in the school & curriculum 4. Help students to understand the process of learning 2/2

Fantastic 1st day @AdeyfieldSchool with 4 excellent & inspiring speakers @thosethatcan @claireLfarmer @ojukomiller @BehaviourBuddy Key takeaways: 1. Make time for you 2. Foster a truly inclusive learning environment 3. Equity for all via student leaders 4. Teach metacognition 1/2

@MrD_Tye @warrenvalentine Consider are you delegating or dumping work? What's the difference... Sometimes hard to tell but are you utilising your teams strengths or just giving them tasks you don't like, are you giving them tasks you'd also happily do, do you lead by example and do you know your team 2/2

@MrD_Tye @warrenvalentine I've held management roles outside of teaching and new to middle leadership. I've always found it useful to consider the importance & urgency of a task together. What can/can't wait, what can be delegated (not dumped) & what can be eliminated. 1/2

@MissCCorr @easyJet @belfastairport Having worked in the travel world... I agree you're in for a long evening but sometimes a runway slot will become available & get you off sooner so if you're not in the airport & checked in you'd be left behind & that'd be more annoying than some extra time spent in the airport

Great start to Boxing Day. Flight delayed for 90 minutes but @easyJet still telling me to arrive at @belfastairport for 2.30pm? I’m in for a long evening!!

Today was bitter sweet, my final day @ChallneyBoys thank you so much to all the staff, especially to @DanielC01979224 @MrMayPhysEd @PE_MrWhitehead & @ChallneyPEDept for all the support & laughs! Now for Xmas break before embarking on my next exciting adventure as Head of Year!

Fantastic evening at the festive concert, featuring @ChallneyBoys @Challney_Girls 3 local primary schools, Luton Concert band & a special performance from @DanielC01979224 on his penultimate day as Head. Thank you @nrmusicteacher such talent shown by both staff & students

@missredmangeog I'd look at your next placement as a fresh start, you go in to placement 1 & you learn on the go but now at start of placement 2 you know so much more, start as that teacher, clear and high expectations and don't let them slip. Take time for you this Xmas & each week is key too!

Today I finished placement at my home school for the first term of my teacher training - I’ve struggled over the last few weeks, got myself into a bit of a pickle, and in result my MH suffered. Does anyone have any tips/words of advice for my away placement? ☀️🌈

A school trip started a life time passion for me! Making skiing accessible is key and dry slopes like @GoslingLeisure in Welwyn offer great affordable beginner packages from £16pp for a 1 hour group lesson compared to indoor snow slopes starting from £44pp! #SnowSportsForAll

@Lucyteaches I would speak to school and university mentor... For my PGCE there was a minimum amount of days and there was possibility of being asked to make up days at the end of the course in June through to July on a case by case basis depending on absence reason & your performance
