HUGELY excited that we can finally reveal this gamechanging resource for KS3 science.
Every week, a different head of science or senior leader calls me asking for help with KS3 resourced.
Springboard Science is the answer.
Read on for why it's just so revolutionary:

I'm taking a team to Dallas for the VEX Robitics World Championships next week. I love teaching science and physics, but these extra-curricular engineering activities are the icing on the cake for me 🥳

***FINISHED - KS3 PHYSICS WORKBOOK***
I'm quite proud of this so please share widely - I've finished all of KS3 physics in a mammoth workbook.
KS3 science is oft neglected so I think something like this was very needed.

For a few years now, I've had two combs. I've always said one is for the heir, and the other is a spare.

If education leaders are going to play the "teaching is a vocation/calling" card, then they also need to recognise that people also have a "calling" to their family and wider community. Otherwise its a call for teachers to sacrifice themselves on the altar of purpose.

Teaching isn’t a job you hold. It’s an extension of your life’s purpose.
