Beautiful work from SO this week in our y10 maths class 🤩

Incredible retrieval practice from 9Duffy this week. Ms Atcha some students in particular took on board Cornell note taking to improve their revision.

Loved my pink tea today courtesy of a kind student in y11. They remembered I loved trying it for the first time during charity week and made a batch for me to enjoy at home 😋🥰

Impressive constructions from y8 period 5 this afternoon 🤩 I was so proud of them #beautifulwork

Earlier this morning, Niamh Sweeney gave evidence to Education Committee on plans for compulsory maths to age 18. "Maths education relies on young people's relationship with their teachers. So it is important to talk about the recruitment and retention crisis in education"

Great discussion about being an ally in form time today with 9D incl respecting people with different views, beliefs and ways of life. We also talked about pronouns and showing respect. I’m so proud of them @MEACentral #LGBTHM
