Morning,
A request for help:
I recently moved up north (near Bolton) and I’ve been on supply ever since.
I need a permanent job. Science teacher. 20yrs exp.
Schools don’t always advertise on the TES so if anyone knows anyone, please pass this on?
I’d really appreciate it!

While the Curriculum and Assessment Review contains recommendations for the DfE, there are some themes that are worth considering now.
As with Ofsted’s new EIF there’s a big focus on inclusion.

Is your school's "improvement" culture just more top-down initiatives?
Many school improvement plans fall flat because they lack buy-in.
What if we shifted from "directing" to "developing"?

We started Myatt & Co five years ago and the goal was to provide ongoing, conversational professional learning during the lockdowns.
There were 50 recordings and 20 contributors when we started.
Now, there are over 500 resources from over 200 contributors.

It’s the look. The silence.
