There’s certainly a correlation with Triple Sci and taking a Sci degree in the paper (and school type -ie prob the best indicator of specialist teaching- has negligible impact)
Interesting that Triple Sci has almost no impact on sci degree uptake at Russell Grp

Couldn’t leave without a gallery visit. The most teaching leaning portrait in the new exhibition at the NPG was this, titled Inset Day by Yvadney Davis which rather expertly portrays every emotion felt at home that day!

Really enjoying reading the Impact journal with a cup of tea (the joys of slowing down over half term).
Great to have a clear recognition of the shift towards adaptive teaching as the most inclusive approach. What should I do with my All/Most/Some and Gold/Silver/Bronze lesson resources now?!

My cats are my go to also! 😂
I have no doubt this comes up more for women, but I certainly have had it a lot and continue to. That social awkwardness when the conversation just sort of ends is the most common in my experience.

I recently read The Color Purple and was surprised in the intro to have been exposed to some key plot details (once I realised I stopped, and read it after).
Pleasingly, the intro in The Picture of Dorian Gray kindly tells me to move on!

That’s so unnecessarily savage! Just checked ours (probably should’ve sooner) and pleasantly surprised by the lack of movement.
