Lunchtime today we had 7 year 5/6 girls request a girls football club, by 3.15 we had 29 girls signing up to our nee lunch club! Great result @MrTivey ⚽️

What the teacher pay deal will mean for your bank account: the 2023-24 pay scales revealed tes.com/magazine/analy…

Teachers are spending 2 hours a day on admin tasks – but giving them the flexibility to do some of these tasks at home would ease the workload pressure, a new government-commissioned report says tes.com/magazine/news/…

Will the 6.5% teacher pay rise apply to all teachers in England? Yes, teachers and leaders will see their pay rise by 6.5% across all pay scales – but the starting salary for those on the fringe of London and the rest of England will 6.8% and 7.1% tes.com/magazine/news/…

Good news emerging from Tewkesbury: Jamie Samson, the Maths teacher who was stabbed, is out of hospital and ‘recovering well’ today.

New The Department for Education has REFUSED a Freedom of Information request to publish the STRB report believed to recommend a 6.5% pay increase for teachers The DfE states it is not in the "public interest" to publish the report

A glorious start to the week at Albany! Sports day practice with year 4 this afternoon stepping up the preparations and covering various events ready for sports day in a few weeks time @MrTivey

One in three primary schools has no male teachers, report says bbc.in/3P5xY6B

Parents, if your child goes on a residential between now and the end of the year, go and give the teachers a quick thank you when you pick your child up. You’d be amazed how little it happens, and it means a huge amount.

And just like this it’s the final week of the half term! We’ve had a super half term across our partner schools and some outstanding work at @StGeorgesDerby & @StJames_Juniors and AJS @MrTivey in our PE units! 🤸‍♀️ 🏏 🏋️‍♀️

Mr Riley and Miss Scothern had super mornings delivering both Boxing & Multi-Sports at both Sawley and Bennerley sites @EsteemMat. Miss Scothern has worked with year 6 this at @StJames_Juniors for their treat day post SATS. Whilst Mr Riley worked with @MrTivey AJS year 3

@NatG254 Fortunately for us, we’ve so far avoided it but we’ve set the wheels in motion. What I’d give just to keep things ‘fun’ for the final couple of months

@MrTivey If you’ve been chosen, I feel for you 😢 Why can we not be trusted in our judgements? It’s the difference between enjoying next few weeks on leavers’ performance, trips and generally giving them a great send off or getting them to write for evidence😭

Just when children think they’re off the hook with sats, writing moderation comes knocking, and with that, more stress. #sats2023. The resilience of children is definitely underrated.

Mr Riley is over to AJS this, boys football training at lunch then an afternoon delivering Gymnastics to year 4 and on to packed our football after school club! Miss Scothern is at @StJames_Juniors delivering Dance this morning, lunchtime, 3 PE lessons and after school clubs!

After getting some illegible answers in a maths test last term, I showed this to my class and asked them to tell me what number I'd written. I got a wide variety of answers!

So far Punctuation and Grammar paper = Fair. Spelling test = Hardest I’ve ever seen Reading paper = Hardest since the 2015/2016 uproar Prediction for maths = Trigonometry #sats2023

#sats2023 That reading paper was brutal. It seems as though it was specifically designed to allow children to stumble. Mistakes are likely during a stressful week due to the unnecessary pressures that come with SATS but it’s totally unfair to go looking for those errors

Looking to keep the costs of a residential down for my year 6s next year. Can any aspect of it be paid through Sport Premium if it is justifiable? Advice welcome.

Glorious afternoon with year 3 athletes yesterday. We worked through running, focusing on speed, agility and stamina and throwing using 2 types of throw over short and long distances. All in preparation for what will hopefully be a sports day in Summer 2 ☀️
