I’m excited to be speaking at this! I’ll be discussing the English curriculum at KS3, building on KS2 knowledge, boosting progression to KS4, identifying areas for improvement and broadening the curriculum. Lots to get stuck into! @FearnhillSchool

I noted on centre services that the mark schemes for the AQA A level physics exams are out.

For instance adults should be able to answer simple questions like:
"If you are thousands of maths teachers short of required numbers + you've cut real terms pay for 13 years + then you introduce a policy that requires thousands more maths teachers how likely is it to succeed?"
Come and join a wonderful school with great staff, supportive SLT, excellent CPD opportunities and the students are pretty awesome, too 😉 @FearnhillSchool
I want to tell you something cool about our school:
For a number of years, @totteridgeacad was struggling, and we were heavily undersubscribed. Alongside that, despite low numbers overall, we had a large % of pupil premium (over 50% in some year groups).
