I’ve become a real convert in terms of using high quality schemes written by experts. Using Snap Science since September has really transformed our curriculum and teaching. Really supportive of workload for teachers and the subject lead. Children now love Science.

This week has definitely been about technology for me. After successes with AI I then discovered the use of planner on Microsoft 365. Read about it on here and been creating ‘Buckets’ all week. Want to now use it across my team. Love it 😊

My mind is BLOWN! Just purchased SLTai and I am absolutely stunned at what it can produce.I am about 7 years off retirement as a Headteacher but decided that I need to be up to date on Ai as it will move so quickly. The potential of SLTai is vast-I am absolutely thrilled to be starting this journey!

Had a great day working with some fab teachers co delivering Instructional Coaching training. Drew on Jim Knight and Tom Sherrington’s work. I’ve missed doing this kind of work and supporting development of leaders.

Interesting few hours:having completed the behaviour policy I’ve been working on a draft behaviour curriculum,pulling together all we do into a more coherent form.Not taken this approach before but pleased with how it’s developing.Being more explicit on what needs to be taught will make a difference
