"Assessment not assumption" when it comes to learning 👏

Experiences of exam marking this year continue to be beyond awful. Middle and senior leaders will need to brace themselves for a record number of reviews of marking, because the standard is going to be shocking

Solidarity with those working in schools tomorrow with no air con.

We're pleased to be able to share the report from our recent Ofsted inspection bit.ly/4kh1UbC

Over 30 witnesses came forward and testified, ex-partners, employees, insiders. The 2016 CCTV footage showed P Diddy assaulting Cassie in cold blood. It was violent. It was undeniable. I’ve always said, there could be video evidence of a man beating a woman, of coercion playing

All of this implies, for this core subject, perhaps, much more than the “evolution, not revolution” approach signposted by the review’s interim report. Will it accept this, or end up satisfied with the overall thrust of Conservative-era reform in this subject?

8H2 explored the concept of ‘Human Curiosity’ before applying their personal understanding to Chapter 2 of ‘Frankenstein’ today. Some outstanding thinking and application! ✨💫 Penketh High School

Always a brilliant and thought-provoking blog from Kat Howard 🫶🏻

Check out this updated model of the "Simple Model of Teaching": * initially crafted by Daniel Willingham * redrafted by oliver caviglioli, * annotated here by Peps, Josh Goodrich, and Oliver Lovell Our blogger always says: "don't just DO THIS THING, instead, THINK THIS WAY." This model

I like the idea of a year that prioritises reading. Let’s make 2026 the year we reopen closed libraries, open new ones and reverse the loss of school librarians.

Making Every Lesson Count by Shaun Allison & Andy Tharby is without a doubt, a brilliant teaching & learning book. It's one I revisit & regularly recommend to others. Getting to the heart of expert teaching in every classroom! 👏

The Department for Education has published the new 'The Writing Framework'. This useful framework for teaching writing is for primary schools (but it will be of interest to colleagues in secondary schools & more) See here: gov.uk/government/pub…

Finished reading Scythe with Year 8 today and their reactions to the ending were unmatched. One of the best parts of the job 😎

Currently on page 87 and it’s genuinely brilliant reading. So many important reminders backed by clear evidence. Perfect timing for us reevaluating our writing curriculum approach!

I love these for narrative writing prompts.

A key recommendation from Ofsted's English subject report was for policy makers & trainers to provide greater support for the teaching of writing. Pleased to see that advice heeded with the writing framework. Both primary & secondary will benefit gov.uk/government/pub…

Time for 8P1 to help us with our brand new display for Scythe… look at this fantastic submission from Daniel N! Penketh High School NealShusterman 🙌😎

*NEW* for June 2026 onwards: a folder of specimen Lang P2s along with PPT slide decks to support teaching, with scaffolds and models like so 👇 Help yourself 😊 #teamenglish dropbox.com/scl/fo/egpxh3z…

What’s in the box…? Watch this space to enjoy Year 7 being inspired by the sense of nostalgia and belonging in The Bone Sparrow! Thanks to Miss Potter for capturing this in her lessons this week! 🐣🪽 Penketh High School

I agree with Zoe Enser 🐉. PEE etc is a bugbear of mine and stock phrases often become redundant or a constraint. I recommend both of these by David Didau for a far better approach to teaching writing (Bringing the English Curriculum to Life has everything you need for this)
