BIG exam tomorrow… English Language 🤩 all students are advised to attend revision in the Dining Room at 8am 🥐

📢Congratulationsto our students whose work has been selected for publication by the @YoungWritersCW company🎉. Each student crafted a 100-word mini saga based on the theme of #catastrophe, showcasing their incredible creativity and talent. We are very proud of you! Well done!

🎉 Congratulations to all the students who made it into the "Through Their Eyes" poetry competition by @YoungWritersCW! 📜 Your talent shines through, and your voices will now be heard through your published works. Keep inspiring! Well done! #YoungWriters #youngwriters #proud

Last week our Anti-Racism Ambassadors presented to all staff in our staff briefing. They shared details of their survey, their plans and what they would like teachers to do. An amazing example of student leadership! Well done everyone 👍🏻

@MrsSpalding Just asked it to create a 2 sentence per chapter summary of Heroes by Robert Cormier and what came back is entirely inaccurate. Still some major issues with accuracy.

I’m a bit obsessed with ChatGPT at mo. Increasingly using in teaching. 2 sentence summary of each chapter of Jekyll and Hyde for planning task? Done. Instant MCQ for end of form time cover? Done. Creative writing feedback when no teacher time for more than mark? We shall see!

Our lucky student Alfie, bagged himself and his English class a morning off timetable to enjoy a scavenger hunt around the library. Well done year 8! #Reading #libraryrewards #goldenticket #goodmanners #morals

🔒🏆For all those students saying they will never unlock the box... This student just cracked the code not once, not twice, but three times this term at @ElfedHS 'Unlock the Box' challenge after acing an @AccReader quiz! Astonishing!!🍀 🎉 #Champion #UnlockTheBox #readingrewards

@Misterbodd Finding it interesting that majority of people agreeing are male. sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/…

@Misterbodd Ridiculous take.

A couple of students are already meeting targets and will shortly receive their @AccReader scratchcard. You have to be reading and quizzing to receive one! #readingrewards #reading

@ElfedEnglishDep Woohoo!

Another student has successfully unlocked the box and won a prize for the second time!! Keep reading and quizzing for your chance to unlock the box and recieve other rewards. Well done!! #reading #readingrewards #literacymatters

We see @EstynHMI trying to shift from high stakes accountability to a more supportive approach, but this new #ReadyAlready campaign feels fanciful at best. When we know inspections still cause significant stress for staff, because people can & do lose their job over a poor inspection report, just telling schools not to over prepare is verging on the insulting.

A couple more photographs from the Book Tasting event!
