Final assessment for my Teach First Leicester & Leicestershire Teaching School Hub NPQLT course done on what has been a busy week! Enjoyed using what I learnt and my experience as HoF to write it! I hope it's good enough for a pass 🤞

Good day spent discussing resources available as part of our STEM Learning Enthuse partnership along with sharing ways to embed disciplinary knowledge as part of our curriculum with the other science HoF and leads from The Mead Educational Trust 🧪🔬 Mehnaz Rashid David Gilbert Miss Fearn

A really good read from my super line manager Claire Harley ✌️ xx

Was really great to see Fe Brewer in action supporting my Leicester & Leicestershire SCITT trainee today. Took away some great examples of probing questions to get the trainees to best reflect on their lessons! 👍☺️

The best performance of the evening in my opinion! Orchard Mead Academy #thechurchofstjamesthegreater #TMETxmasconcert The Mead Institute

Officially on maternity leave - wanted to push to end of term but consultant said to rest! Going to feel odd not being in work - will miss my Orchard Mead Academy whilst I'm at home! 🧡

Milo Alexander Finn made his appearance three weeks early on the 18th December 💙 Christmas just got a bit more special✨️ 🎄 #mumoftwoboys

A great insight from Dr Jennifer Glover-Woollard about what it's like being a neurodiverse teacher and the powerful example she can set on SecEd. She is a true asset to the Orchard Mead Academy science department 🙌sec-ed.co.uk/content/best-p…
