The only reason that our education system is not imploding is because of our brilliant school staff. Not the govt. Not the DfE. It's only functioning because of the amazing people who work in our schools and colleges. Sending strength to every single one of you.

British media: Schools are NOT closed. Also, a school is more than just a building. Its work goes on whether the doors are shut or not. Safeguarding, home liaison, remote learning, phone calls home.. Teachers are very trustworthy professionals. The children matter to them.

PowerPoint is killing secondary school teaching. Over-reliance on it at KS345 is leading to: Poor delivery; Lazy teaching; An insufficient grasp of subject knowledge; Unresponsive teaching. It’s PowerPoint presentation not PowerPoint scheme of work. A great tool used poorly
