Happy to share details of our conference at SandymoorOA

It only takes a few minutes to email your children's school and let them know why you're supporting striking teachers next week. When the message gets passed on to staff, it always has a massive impact on morale and confidence.

In all the furore that might get caused on Wednesday during the strike, feel free to mention to anyone and everyone that the DFE and Ofsted are also on strike that day. That one is being kept very quiet.

The MARSEA cycle at KS4 (one unit of work). Automaticity training (development of fluent retrieval of the target items) can be staged after two MARSEA cycles to entrench the chunks and grammar taught over an 8 days cycle (2 units). #EPI

Finally getting round to thanking everyone who attended our workshop with the amazing Dr Gianfranco Conti last week. Lots to think about and fantastic feedback from everyone who came xxx looking forward to the next one!!
