A fantastic #English lesson this morning where students have been thinking deeply about their responses to this weeks assignment and to improve their knowledge of #Dickens Christmas Carol. Some amazing work! - well done year 11 #WorkHard #Proud

I've never been prouder to be Bristol City Poet & to offer a poem to my adopted city than I am today. This piece is called Hollow and I hope you like it. I've captioned it and everything! Rust in shame, Eddie.

Is @Ofstednews biased against schools with poorer pupils? Schools with a higher proportion of children on free school meals are much more likely to be rated either 'inadequate' or 'requires improvement', conference is told bit.ly/2pJ1Vjq

Things teachers do but shouldn’t have to do: Try and fix photocopiers 🔧 Miss lunch 🥪 Run extra “interventions”🤹‍♂️ Run detentions ⌚️ Give up PPA for meetings📋 Buy resources 💷 Take a pay cut for exam scores 📈 Stop deprofessionalising teaching!
