Incredibly proud of the wonderful students @DHSBoys for the student led Agatha Christie production. A great example of our culture, empowering young people to take risks and achieve beyond anything you could possibly dream of. Thank you for a magical evening 😁

I'm trying to encourage students to make more nuanced comparisons in P&C poetry essays. Here are a series of tasks that could be interleaved in other units or used as a one-off revision lesson (see PPT for a suggested plan and resource). #teamenglish docs.google.com/presentation…

A double-sided sheet of An Inspector Calls context for next week's exam. AO3 tips: explore ideas/perspectives as well as historical facts; refer to it sparingly; always link back to illuminate the text itself. #AQAEnglishLit #GCSEEnglishLit docs.google.com/document/d/1…

This morning Mr Briars gave an ‘Examiner Report’ lecture to year 11 on their recent Language mock exam. It contained clear examples of how all students can further develop their responses. @DHSBoys
