Mrs Derbyshire

The fabulous Will speaking on the panel at @CheltLitFest today about how @DeanAtta 's poem has inspired him.

I don't know how to even begin to describe the pride myself and Mr.Holliday felt this morning seeing these incredible young people perform at the @AmnestyUK @CheltLitFest showcase. A huge thank you to parents, friends and family for coming along to support! @7valeschool

What an absolute pleasure taking this fantastic group of Year 11s to the @CheltLitFest to hear @j_amesmarriott speak about how best to write an opinion piece!

NPQLT assessment submitted this afternoon! And now we breathe... And wait 😊

10 years ago I started my teaching career. I remember that feeling of utter fear when my @TeachFirst mentor closed the door and I was on my own! Teaching is an incredibly hard profession but one I'm so happy to be 10 years into and still absolutely obsessed with!

And a huge thank you to Mrs Beard and Miss Harper for their unwavering support. And to all the incredible family members who came to cheer on our superstars!

What an evening at The Gloucestershire Poetry Slam final with @SpozPoet I could not be more proud of both of our teams! What a real credit they are to @7valeschool And a second place trophy to top off the evening!

So excited to have won a meter of books from @cheltfestivals There will be some very happy @7valeschool students tomorrow! Thank you so much @CheltLitFest

The best day topped off by a meeting with this guy!

We could not be more proud of our #BattleoftheBooks team for their performance today! A special shout out to Dalia who spoke so articulately and passionately about @ManjeetMann's The Crossing! A very successful first day at @CheltLitFest
