Putting together a unit of work on Sherlock Holmes for Y9, and I had forgotten how amazing @litdrive.bsky.social is for inspiration and resourcing; very grateful for such a collaborative teaching community

It doesn’t solve all the ills in education at the moment, but working in a school that does a hot chocolate on a freezing Thursday is no bad thing!

In my efforts to get more media elements into my English curriculum as a pedagogical tool, I’ve accidentally gone for the biggest Pixar tearjerker! But look how well those stills work for teaching cyclical structures! #teaching #media

Really enjoyed the first episode of @hugheshaili.bsky.social Sitting in the Chair podcast 🎧 Miles off ever considering headship, but still a really thoughtul and informative conversation about the challenges (and joys!) heads are facing in the role today

Another great PD session at the @engmediacentre.bsky.social with @uniofnottingham.bsky.social stylistics toolkit team; lots to take away for Lit/Lang A Level

As an English teacher, I think it’s professional development to spend the last day of the holidays reading 📖 #backtoschool
