That said if anyone knows of any education based jobs (that aren’t as a classroom teacher) going available, I’d be extremely grateful if you could send them my way. Roll on 2026 🥴

Soon to be divorced, moved back from Cyprus 3 weeks ago, started a new job in a school, immediately hated it so handed in my resignation yesterday and don’t have a job to go to. And yet I’m weirdly not panicking! 😬

Totally agree with this. Trying to explain to bottom set kids they have a GCSE in maths if they get a 1 is quite difficult. All because of the ‘magical grade 4’ that makes others think anything less is inadequate.
If there’s one plea I could make ahead of GCSE results day tomorrow, it’s in the way the media and other commentators talk about GCSE grades. Grades 1-3 are not fails. Us or Xs are. Anyone with a 1-3 HAS GOT A GCSE. And for some of those kiddos, a 1 or a 2 or 3 can be a

This was one of my students who had self taught himself further maths a-level. I had to fight for him to be entered with our candidates and he came out with an A* 🥹 unbelievably proud and grateful to have played a part in his maths journey.

This year was my first year 13 class (who I had from beginning of year 12) and they smashed it out of the park! Ironically it’s likely my last year 13 class as I won’t be returning to a school environment but definitely gives me some confidence to keep a level on when I tutor.

Absolute radio silence from me recently… apologies 😬. Officially moved to Cyprus just over 2 weeks ago. Still climatising whilst currently 35 weeks pregnant. Oh and my firstborn is resembling Satan’s offspring. So here is a sunny beach photo to remind myself life is good ☺️.
