Stuart Lock

@Chem2006 I was doing compulsory Saturday sessions literally twenty years ago. I don't do them now, but it really is crazy that this is the latest fight. Especially in a school that teaches for far fewer school days a year.

@StuartLock The complaining is nuts. If Eton did it no one would complain….

If any of our teachers put on extra sessions aimed at some or all pupils just before examinations, outside of school time... then damn right we are supporting them by making those sessions compulsory & ensuring the school does everything possible to get them there.

FWIW we will also provide a prayer room if helpful. 😉

The most precious time pupils have is with their teacher, especially just before the examinations. If a teacher is willing to provide a bit more, we won't let them waste it.

Are you our next VP for Behaviour, Culture and Ethos at TSPA, part of @advschools? This is a rare opportunity and the first time this post has been advertised in over six years. Deadline 11th May. To arrange a visit/for more info DM.

@ChapelGuilt @sciantificnew Congratulations. I'm sure you are very smart. Except for you've missed the point here. But well done on being in the top 15% in a highly selective private school.

@StuartLock @sciantificnew Which also allows for the possibility of Michaela being wrong. But feel free to tell me how the learning method which put me in the top 15% in a highly selective private school was wrong for me….

Disgusting what this school and the staff get up to in order for their kids to be set up for life in a way no other school does. Same finances s as all other schools too. Disgrace.

@tweetonlooker I’ll take that as a “no” and that you have neither looked at the calendar nor found out. I’ll block you now as you are clearly trolling.

@StuartLock Relevance Stu?

@tideyd01 @balany1 Not at all. It shows they spend money wisely. As seen by staffing ratios.

@StuartLock @balany1 Proving my point that they do indeed benefit from extra funding from donations from sources that have an agenda.

@tideyd01 I do see revenue generating activity. That’s fine.

@tideyd01 Who is funding them extra according to their accounts? Because I see nothing of the sort.

@ChapelGuilt @sciantificnew There is more that humans have in common than different. Especially regarding memory, ie learning.

@ChapelGuilt @sciantificnew Maybe we should err on the side of the school that finished literally first out of 4000 secondary schools in England many years in a row.

@ChapelGuilt @sciantificnew Bearing in mind that there is lots of evidence that humans are wrong about how they learn best.

@ChapelGuilt @sciantificnew How do you know?

@covrules @oldandrewuk @adamboxer1 You could name the school.

@StuartLock @oldandrewuk @adamboxer1 So how do we call it out? They are so open at parent information evenings, the LAs know it happens but do nothing.

Two schools. Same street. One has twice as many students with SEND as the other. Why?

Pupils from years 9 & 10 have been taking part in a STEM engineering workshop in the auditorium! Some excellent designs are currently being constructed 👏

@AnnieBeale1 @sciantificnew Actually laughed at your last sentence.

@StuartLock @sciantificnew They're not the most deprived or vulnerable at all - all lies. 116 children at exam time, very imbalanced cohorts selected by Ks2 scores yrs earlier. Selection by compliance + children framed as poor Do not bother replying to me, I don't care to hear more 'beliefs' over facts.

Houstone in Bloom 🌼 Last week, our pupils planted a variety of flowers in the playground planters, & now they’re looking absolutely stunning as they line our school field. We’re hoping these beautiful blooms will create the perfect haven for bees & butterflies to enjoy 🐝🦋
