It's been a short but very eventful half term! Pleased to say I shall be moving to become AHT for Raising Standards at another one of our @celtacademies.bsky.social fantastic schools. Exciting times ahead!

How's the general consensus for #GCSEmaths? Our lot seemed pretty happy on foundation, with a mixed bag at the lower higher end?
Any EDEXCEL markers? Normally I get a contract offer over Christmas for the Summer (have marked a number of years now and TL) but haven't had one. Has anyone had theirs?
Earlier this month, we were proud to host ResearchED Cornwall - a day which brought together teachers, leaders, researchers and education thought-leaders from across the UK. Watch our video from the event now: youtu.be/yrJJ6Lu2n4o #ResearchED

Just delivered my first maths workshop at #MathsConf38 and I’m buzzing! Being 10% braver is HARD but so worth it.💪 Thank you to everyone who came along. Keep an eye out for resources and join the challenge! @nathanday.bsky.social has set the bar high! 🔥 #InterweavingMaths #MathsForFun #LoveMaths
Go @ljohns6.bsky.social being 10% braver and running a workshop with one of her favourites attending!
I had a great time today at #MathsConf38. I particularly enjoyed @ljohns6.bsky.social's workshop about connecting concepts. At the end we were challenged us to come up with a question featuring the expression 𝑥² − 7𝑥 + 10. Here's what I came up with.
Very excited for Friday's INSET @celtacademies.bsky.social Another chance to get together with all my colleagues and discuss the exciting times ahead for Maths@CELT

Looking for ADHD literature to read, as a parent. Specifically for strategies to support. I've done lots of reading on the what, I want more practical support! #adhd #neurodivergent
This is a hugely positive step forward and is so welcomed; a wise and inclusive approach to managing a significant brief that gives some much-needed clarity and purpose and our work. Please do take the time to read and share.
The next stage of the Curriculum and Assessment Review will look to create a more inclusive and fair system, address subject-specific challenges, and assess available pathways beyond GCSEs. Find out more ➡️ www.gov.uk/government/p...

It was probably his last dressed up WBD - but he went out with a bang. Cake baked by his fair hand and a bald cap hastily painted this morning! #WBD

Aah love this bit - the start of a half-term holiday. A challenging final week of a long term, but so much progress being made. Can't wait for my family time though!
Saying Hi to #edusky to build that community with UK secondary schools, maths in particular.
I was wavering and with @1stclassmaths.bsky.social post I've made the leap! Hoping to re-energise with lots of ideas and professional discourse!
