Miss Barker

Fantastic production from Theatre of Debate for our year 10s at @dixonsaa yesterday! Thank you all so much. It was so extremely interesting for students to learn about a hugely important part of British & Indian history, & the Queens of Mysore who helped to eradicate smallpox.

@DavidNSouter Oh I’m so sorry David and Carole. Rosie was a wonderful dog. RIP Rosie ❤️💫

My beloved Rosie went on her final walk today. For fifteen years, since she chose me at the Dogs Trust, she's been the best companion. Rest in peace, my perfect dog.

I marked for AQA Language Paper 2 this year 🚂 Here’s some takeaways I took that I’ll be sharing with the English dept, so why not share with you all 🪡🧵

A fantastic English teacher role has come up at @dixonsaa Please share with anyone you think may be interested! We’ve a fully planned curriculum with loads of diversity & a super passionate & lovely bunch of people on the team! Deadline June 12th ce0354li.webitrent.com/ce0354li_webre…

Eid Mubarak to all our children, families and staff that will be celebrating over the coming days. We hope you have a wonderful time!

Amazed to have survived the last term without another plague & having an excellent start to the holiday with my little sis in London. Highlights: Hamilton! History lesson at the Tower of London & paying our respects to Anne Boleyn 👑 💕 Sunset Uber boat Leisurely mornings 😆

…schools continue to be squeezed, stretched and shafted like this by the govt., exam results will be affected for many more years to come, and it will, of course, be the students at schools in the most deprived areas who will be affected most. Stop gaslighting us, Gill.

Disappointing to see this from the Department for Education. The govt agreed to fund just 0.5% of this pay rise, leaving schools to find an extra 4%. Agreeing to this would be throwing our schools under a bus. Yes I am worried about 2 more strikes so close to exams, but if…

An absolute pleasure. It was great to share my journey and poetry with Yr11. Their reactions were priceless and hope to hear their poetry one day too. What a fab end to #WestYorksPoetry Week. @Literacy_Trust @TracyBrabin

Year 11 @dixonsaa enjoyed an absolutely fantastic performance and Q&A session with @muhmdibneahmd today! Thank you so much Mohamed, @Sharenaleesatti 💫 #WestYorkshirePoetryWeek

A huge thank you to all staff who dressed up as their favourite literary characters today. Sorry I didn’t get photos of everyone but the students absolutely loved it. We had loads of entries to the naming challenge and will announce our 2 winners tomorrow 😊 #WorldBookDay2023

He ALWAYS deserved this because he’s ALWAYS been amazing. The work he had to put in to getting this is insane! It’s just fantastic to see his worth finally fully realised by such a prestigious institution. And they’re absolutely VERY lucky he persisted.

Danial had these extra hurdles to leap over and there is something unfair about that still. That he has succeeded beyond most people’s wildest dreams - becoming president of Oxford SU I mean WOW!! - is testament to him & his astonishing resilience only 💫 @DanialHussain_

I am so, SO proud of you @DanialHussain_ ! In the actual Times no less! I know you would’ve persevered anyhow because that determination was already inside you, but I’m obviously crying a bit at the fact you still remember/value those chats 🥲 Don’t forget me when you’re PM 😉

🙌🏻👌🏻 Oxford is lucky to have this absolute gem 💎 To see an amazing ex-student thriving (& speaking out about social justice using their fantastic (& hugely deserved) new platform ❤️✊🏻) is pretty much what I live for 💫

@Daisymaizemay @dixonsaa Daisy 😭🤣 I’ll never stop crying at this rate haha 😂 💕

@DanialHussain_ Danial! I am so delighted that your worth is finally being seen fully! It’s made my day/half term/life to see you thriving like this! Bless you for mentioning me in your article. You would’ve done this regardless but I’m glad I could help a little 😊 Huge congrats 🙌🏻

Honoured to be elected President of the Oxford University Student Union, especially as the first student from a foundation year background and Pakistani heritage to hold the position. I will work tirelessly to make an Oxford that works for everyone.
