My dissertation result was released today and Iβm so pleased to announce that I achieved a distinction grade. This means I will be graduating with a distinction overall! π
An immense privilege to say that today I was interviewed for βsecondary teacher of the yearβ by
@TeachingAwards
.
After reflecting on the events of the day there were many huge thank yous to be made! πβοΈ
Something Iβm grateful for this weekend. The most amazing curriculum leader for RS that any school could hope for. An intellect who has crafted an ambitious curriculum for all. A kind and devoted person whose positivity is contagious. Beloved by both colleagues and students. π
Sister Act - wow! Simply wow.
BUT tonight, a shout out for this legend.. Hosted a BLP Breakfast, facilitated a coaching conference and was then backstage for Sister Act having worked so hard on the music for the show. Ms Bisset, you are a hero and inspiration. Thank you π―π
To all of the staff, students, parents, governors and all members of the TAL community - Thank you. We go to bat for each other. Proud that I could represent us all today.

An honour to be filmed by the wonderful Bell Foundation highlighting teaching and learning strategies to support multilingual learners in content heavy subjects.
Privileged to work in a school (and MAT!) that champions excellent teaching and learning, for all. ππ

22 out of 28 students in her class use EAL and 16 languages are spoken. Discover what strategies she uses.
They say it βtakes a villageβ. By goodness what a village we have!
I will never be able to thank my colleagues enough for the wonderful start they have provided for my year group. Getting stuck in and transforming lives, always.

Today I hit a significant coaching milestone.
100 TAL lessons dropped in on. 100 feedbacks given. 100 shoutouts made. Expert practitioners delivering carefully sequenced learning to world class learners.
Grateful and humbled to work at TAL, always. πππ―
My pride. My joy. My year group.
πππ
So focused they didnβt even notice their HOY taking out the phone to take a few snaps of their learning in action. πͺπ§
An absolute champion practitioner. β¨
I have seen first hand the incredible impact that Mr Levick has, not only on my year sevens ability to comprehend texts but also with their self confidence. A true credit to the profession and we are lucky to have him at TAL. ππ―
Some simple changes you can make in your lessons to aid struggling readers, from a person whose job is literally Teacher of Reading.
A thread πͺ‘ π§΅:
Love this photo.
My year group.
Dissecting their scores during the break time. Keen attention detail. Mature conversations about revision plans. Support and celebration of their peers. A hunger and appetite for success.
Keep shining brightly, purple stars! ππ

Finally watched Oppenheimer this evening. Now, I am waiting, not so patiently, to get cracking on our Year Nine history booklets!
Particularly excited about implementing our habits of discussion on the moral debate surrounding the dropping of the A Bomb. π₯
At TAL we have ten democratically elected leaders, in every year group, representing every Build Team (form).
Chosen by the people, for the people! Well done Year 7 Ambassadors for a powerful set of presentations on the negative effects of cyber bullying.
πππ₯
E is for excellence! High five for a job well done, Team Ambassador ! ποΈ
The highest average number of Build steps in our year group. With every member of the team achieving either a bronze, silver or gold award.

When I walked into Y8 break today, I heard a symphony of year 8s telling me they got 100% on their History MOR. Just a reminder; nothing is by chance. Hard work and dedication make success inevitable. I look forward to celebrating all results next week. Y7 over to you! βοΈπͺπ§
Our staff champion our students.
Ms Bisset ran into the hall today and looked at all of 7L MOR score cards. Genuine care. Genuine praise.
Thank you for being incredible. Such a fantastic role model. Lucky to work with you.
