The new EEF guidance report on metacognition 💡👇 https://t.co/eCCY9hpZEQ

Ofsted inspections using the new toolkit begin this week. No more subject deep dives — just a broader, “shallow paddle” across the school. Here’s what leaders need to know, and how to prepare: 🔗 https://t.co/bEhDtjeesj #Ofsted #Edutwitter #SLT #SchoolLeadership

Inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. The EEF’s ‘5-a-day’ principles for supporting students with SEND aren’t just good for some — they’re good for all students.

With so little review space for kids’ books (grrrr), it’s always an honour to get one - my enormous thanks to Imogen at The Guardian for this gorgeous write-up for The Last Bard. I love this book - I hope you will too xxx

Perfect timing for half term!

Welcome to #TraitorsGreekMyth Part 1! Alan Carr: Odysseus. He could betray his closest friend without hesitation. He’s clever, plausible, entertaining and ruthless. His greatest liability? Running his mouth off and getting himself into trouble...

Come join my gorgeous English team and school. My maternity post for my classes I am gutted to leave and a 0.8 permanent role

The graphic novel adaptation of WHEN THE SKY FALLS is out today, brought to life by the genius of Mr Fred Fordham. 11 and 50 year old me is turning cartwheels. Am feeling very lucky.

✨A treasure trove of articles here, including Othello and Macbeth, and much more.

Schools move forward with urgency and every adult has a choice: get on board or get out of the way. The same is true of consistency. If even one adult steps out of line, the whole ship judders. https://t.co/MG4aQSEYH8

So excited to be part of this amazing award. Just look at this incredible long-list!! Huge congrats to all the authors, publishers and the wonderful illustrators. Bring on the reading! 💜☺️ https://t.co/2yBsdYKZW2

In too many schools, "support" has become a quiet permission to step away from learning. Side rooms. Exit cards. Safe spaces. Extra adults. Somewhere along the way, we stopped asking the obvious question: why are we removing children from the very place where they’re meant to
