Won a great competition with @Bookworm_Dubai - 1000 dirhams to set up my classroom library for the year! Although these aren’t as common in secondary, I really want to encourage my students to read more & pick up books instead of screens so this was perfect! Thank you so much👏🏼📚

My school will be delivering the AQA A Level English Literature A for the first time this year having swapped from Edexcel. Does anybody have an introductory lesson introducing and explaining the course before I make one? 🙏🏼 #AQAEnglishLit #ALevel @EngMediaCentre @Team_English1.

Our students journey through English at Hartland 📚 After lots of work on our curriculum at the end of the last academic year, I’m feeling proud and excited of our work as a team and can’t wait to get started with the students next week! 🌟 Thanks to @DHE_teach for the template😊

It’s been a truly magical and memorable summer 🥹 🇬🇷❤️ Back in time for A Level and GCSE results day with a name change! Wishing all students the best of luck tomorrow and next week 🤞🏼🍀

It’s been a very busy few years - wedding planning and completing my MA Ed. Very proud to say that this morning I have submitted my dissertation bringing my MA Ed to a close 🥳 Results pending in September but a great experience! Now to get married - 13 days and counting… 🇬🇷🤍

We’ve officially made it to the last week of term! It’s been a very long 12 weeks - the students are exhausted, we as staff are exhausted but sometimes these last few days are the best because when a student takes the time to say thank you, it reminds you of why we do the job🥹💛

My friends, colleagues and students obviously know me very well if this gorgeous selection of birthday books is anything to go by! Here’s to a long weekend of reading and recharging 📚🪫

One of my favourite feeds - Met Gala Looks to Books 👏🏼📚👗✨.

Year 13 promoted me to head of maths as part of their prank morning - anyone who knows my maths ability knows how laughable this is! 🤣 They also bought me the most thoughtful cake 🥹 I ‘shall miss thee sorely’ too, class of 2025! 🫶🏼

Positive post cards and chocolate can only mean one thing… 🫣 Last day for Year 11 and 13 tomorrow before study leave - how is this day here again already!? 😱⏰📝

Spring break homework for year 10 was to create a knowledge organiser for a certain aspect of Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’ 🐭 They have produced some fantastic work that will act as brilliant revision aids through the rest of the course 👏🏼

The KS4/5 Debate with Hart final today! So proud of one of the Hartland teams for making it to the final. This was an excellent debate to watch between Hartland and @ETAdebate who were discussing the motion ‘This House believes that hate speech should be a criminal offence’ 🗯️🤞🏼

After a session with the wonderful @HISchoolLibrary today creating anthologies of engaging texts to sit alongside our KS3 curriculum, I am tucking into these two delights this evening. Starting with ‘And the Ocean was our Sky’ 🌊 A beautiful read so far! 📖

RT @HWT_PE: Being a teacher is literally going, ‘‘Next week will be easier.’’ until you either die or retire.

I adapted this session for a review of thesis statements with my Year 13 students today as an area of improvement identified in their recent mocks. It really helped them to understand the importance of a thesis as well as the non-negotiables. Thanks @SPryke2 & @engteacherabro2 ☺️

RT @MrsKomp: Fan girling over the WRITING Rope right now 🤯 Provides such a great connection to the Reading Rope! @ReadingLeagueKS https://t….

RT @brian_bilston: Happy #WorldBookDay. Here are six haiku book reviews in celebration.

Great PD from @PearsonEdexcel today on assessing the English Language A IGCSE - lots of useful insights that I’ll be able to take away and use to further enhance my own teaching and that of my team ✅📝⭐️
