Had the most DELIGHTFUL day returning to @ArkSoaneAcademy for the day. Other than the buzz of seeing old colleagues & pupils I taught, I felt immense joy from the incredible culture & teaching. What did I notice? 1/

Brilliant day today @ArkSoaneAcademy with my colleague. A few years ago we were inspired by @Mr_Raichura at one of his science events there and today we finally got to see it all in live action! So insightful and refreshing. A Huge thank you to @NTAScience and her team. Thoughtful practice. High standards. Proper CPD. #CPD #ScienceTeaching #Education

Not trying to create a stir but i just interviewed @Mr_Raichura about his brilliant science teaching for the Sweat the Technique podcast. So interesting!

Our subject teams are deep curricular thinkers. Every day, I get the chance to work with people who LOVE their subjects. Big shout out to @michaeldoron's fabulous history dept for hosting a fantastic conference last weekend. x.com/catherinepriggs/status…

I loved presenting at Ark Soane '25 this weekend! I discussed the use of academic historical scholarship at Key Stage 4 and its potential for planning and delivering GCSE History.

And the best thing about all of this, as the students left the room - they were all so proud too! "Thanks Miss, that lesson was great! I loved it. I didn't know I knew that much" This is why you go into teaching.

Feeling proud of what our Year 10s can produce - all from memory. Describe how the digestive system, respiratory system and circulatory system interact to provide a cell with the reactants for aerobic respiration. How is this possible?
