Miss Vardy

@Lloyd_Cole Thanks for a magical evening, don't leave it too long. Your voice transcends time, 14 again with my sister, stolen cigarettes and a record player in a suitcase. ❤️

Final night of my One Man Show tour tonight in Sheffield. alttickets.com/lloyd-cole-tic…

@bbcquestiontime If dentists are trained and then given an incentive, reductions on student debt, to stay working within the NHS would this help?

@zoelaughlin @IAmChrisRamsey @paulchowdhry @skytv Got genuine job envy, that was so cool.

“The Unofficial Science of Die Hard” with @IAmChrisRamsey @paulchowdhry and myself premiers on @skytv tonight at 8:10pm. Stunts, explosives and some festive silliness awaits.

@afneil Thank you for talking about the ability of 'the north' to deliver on STEM. We have the experience, expertise and passion.

We're so proud to watch this and see clued-up, well-researched, innovative and pioneering teachers and students at King Ecgbert School leading the way on this hot topic.

@LEGO_Group Thank you for your fantastic customer service. Issue resolved in minutes, really friendly and helpful.

@samboothdt @Prusa3D What’s the quality like? Looks super fast.

KING ECGBERT SCHOOL SIXTH FORM 2022-23 was another incredible year of results and personal achievement here at KES. We are extremely proud of all of our students and we wish them all the best in the future. 🥳🎉🤩 #sheffieldissuper #sheffieldschools #sheffield

@Emma_Turner75 Be careful and look who the underwriter is. I’ve had a terrible experience with my current insurance. 6 months after a no fault collision and still no helpful response. Avoid Makerstudy at all costs.

How on earth has my car insurance more than doubled with the same car, no claims and no changes whatsoever to me or the vehicle? Who’s your current/most recent best and cheapest car insurer?

@samchandler711 @BenShields2 @PhilMathe79_PE @MrsWraithmell @PEgeekscorner @physedshep @ThePEUmbrella @pairupinthrees @MrSpringPE @Wallace_PhysEd @pe_swimming @MenTeachPrimary We’ve been working at 90% pay in the UK for the last 10 years!

@BenShields2 @PhilMathe79_PE @MrsWraithmell @PEgeekscorner @physedshep @ThePEUmbrella @pairupinthrees @MrSpringPE @Wallace_PhysEd @pe_swimming @MenTeachPrimary The other thing in Australia is you can work for 90% pay for 9 years then take the 10th year off also at 90% pay.

Teachers in Australia are given 1.5 months of long service leave for every 5 years they work in education. You can bank it for a super holiday! i.e 10 years = 3 months! Should this be a worldwide initiative? Could be helpful to keep teachers from burn out/quitting? Thoughts? 🤔

@NEUnion great turnout at Westminster.

@MrsMcDMatthews I had a great time, so impressed by their sewing skills and knowledge of fast fashion.

Thank you SO much to parents for coming to our sustainable fashion workshop this afternoon. We really enjoyed sharing our knowledge and skills with you and hope you enjoyed it too!

@RealGeoffBarton @paulhaigh @ASCL_UK @RealGeoffBarton as a DT leader I really appreciate you raising this. The subject is so misunderstood by many and seen as leading to trades rather than exciting evolving professions that can shape our world. @DTassoc are currently reaching out to teachers to address this.

“It’s the snooty emphasis on prioritising certain subjects over others that has driven courses such as D&T to the fringes – precisely at a time when our country needs a wider range of skills than our narrow curriculum allows”: my comments ⁦@ASCL_UK⁩: telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06/2…

@Made_in_heth_ac @AcadHethersett What a brilliant idea.

We celebrated our Year 11s today. We are so proud of them, they have matured into the most wonderful people. We love our exhibition book which showcases every single child’s journey in D&T, Food, CS and IT @AcadHethersett 🌟 Good luck class of 2023… see you in August! 🎉

@NetherEdgeHead @CBPender @MerciaTrust @PeteMcKee Thank you inviting me along to your opening and exhibition. Your students were amazing and talked passionately about the wonderful work they had done. What a fantastic space you have created for them.

Our new Design Studio is open! 🎉 Thanks to funding from @MerciaTrust, we've transformed an old classroom into a vibrant creative space for art, design, & technology. We were honoured to have renowned artist @PeteMcKee officially open the room and spend the afternoon with us.

@samboothdt Congratulations 👏

@joppajay @BestForBritain @dc_litchfield You don’t have to pay tax on kids sizes🤣🤣

@BestForBritain @dc_litchfield There seems to be a pattern forming 🧐

@philholton1983 @pearson There were many teachers disappointed when the technical awards didn’t get accredited, me included. It seems the most inclusive and also ambitious way forward. ‘recoupling’ at A Level would be great when students are more experienced at designing and making.

@MissVardy @pearson From what I'm seeing yes they should. The D&T teachers we explored this with had mostly logistical questions about this, so we will need to test & trial it.

Just for D&T Teachers on here... "The Future of Design Education" work by @pearson has evolved. Go take a look, share and contribute. pearson.com/uk/educators/s… #design #designandtechnology #dtchat #technology #education #dandt #engineering #dt #productdesign #aleveldt #gcsedt

@philholton1983 @pearson 1/2 Decoupling the designing and making is a great move. The technical awards promised us this way forward but unfortunately government said no. Students could excel in both rather being restricted by designing something and not being able to realise it fully in the time.
