I've always found @fftedudatalab.bsky.social 'Schools Like Yours' tool so useful. We're using it to identify schools achieving great things in similar contexts and form links. 🎯
I'll be cold calling some schools in Lincolnshire soon!📶

Ages ago I used this (non-calc) Q with my KS3 & KS4 groups. None saw the answer immediately; they all tried finding Alice’s and Bob’s numbers en route to answering the Q.
Used it again with selective school-bound primary Ss. Surprised none saw the answer straight away either #edusky #Mathstoday

Fantastic first day of full headship today in a lovely school at the heart of the community.
Also, an amazing discovery on the book case - a log book that was started in September 1945! Sadly, it finishes in 1996. I may restart it for posterity…

I’ve picked up my new ID and I’m ready for my first day as a new HT on Monday. Can’t wait to get started. Let’s hope the snow isn’t too bad!

Seeing the article in the Times about “Fun”, feel again we’re missing the point, the issue isn’t about fun it’s about agency. Learning is fun or at least worthwhile when you can see a purpose. What we’ve excluded is young peoples’ voices from their education smithsmm.wordpress.com/2017/03/04/t...

If you coach, try 'mapping'. It has been a game changer for my coaching this year.
Here's our podcast about it and here's a substack:

With thanks to @olicav.bsky.social for much of the core thinking behind mapping.

I am taking the plunge and moving from the other place! Looking forward to learning more about education from colleagues in and around the profession (and maybe sharing a few things myself too).
