Couple of lesson visits this morning. Year 7 working hard on their Spanish pronunciation with Miss Purvis. Sentence builders and chanting working well. Miss Newby checking for understanding using hinge questions in History. Perfect for identifying misconceptions.

Purposeful essay writing with Y9 in History this morning. Pupils unpicking Churchill’s role in the success of the home front.

Glad you enjoyed it sir and thank you for facilitating. So important that lessons get off to that ‘Strong Start’ everyday.

@MrNSmithPHS guiding his Y10 class through self-assessment of homework practice. Precise questioning to check mistakes and misconceptions along the way.

Enjoyed a brief moment in @miss_martland class this morning with @UniofOxford calculating R rates and vaccine responses to a pandemic. Eye opening work!

The ebb and flow of classroom practice is a thing of beauty. Teachers explaining, modelling, checking understanding. All helping young people to master new learning.
