@C_Hendrick Here's a slice of text from #OpeningWorlds Year 6 Spring 1 history. Words in bold are taught this lesson. Every other word you see which is tricky has been taught thoroughly in Years 3, 4 or 5. We write texts in order to deliberately meet those words again, again and again.

Outstanding talk by Michael Fordham, principal at @ThetfordAcaduk on role of curriculum in school improvement. Beware trying to take assurance from subject leaders using generic criteria, instead of listening to distinctive structures, rhythms & roles of subjects. #TransformEd

Headteachers, look after your schoolโ€™s RE lead- both primary & secondary. If you have teachers with other specialisms teaching RE do check in on them. For the second year running we are welcoming children back into our classrooms after a summer of division and hatred. #TeamRE

Former headteacher outlines his concerns over a school putting up a poster stating 'jihad' is part of being a 'good Muslim'. "Parents will be very alarmed to know that a poster, which is intended for primary school children, is featuring the word jihad"

Retention tip. A year or so ago, our headteacher introduced a new rule that any staff leaving would sing a karaoke song of their choice in front of whole school in their leaver's assembly. No one left this year. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค
