Class of the Week - the final class to win this term is 4N, who have worked together with kindness, integrity and determination - just like our new Prep School Values. (Plus their cloakroom is spotless!) #TheTranbyWay #TheWholeChild @Tranby_school

Can't help but notice the irony that we spend the first 5 years desperate to get children to talk and then the next 11 apparently desperate to get them to be silent. 😉🙄

On the day he launches his bid to become Mayor of London, we just realised we only have 380,000 more followers than Laurence Fox, who seems to take pleasure in criticizing the NHS and its staff. Please follow and RT if you think that gap should be much wider.

Curriculum intent Important to remember that the ‘intent’ is not a checklist to be ticked off. Rather, it is about ensuring that the curriculum offer is demanding and equitable for all pupils. marymyatt.com/blog/thinking-…

'Needs, not labels' 'Prior attainment should never be an anchor on future attainment. Differentiation should be about 'scaffolding up', not setting limitations on what pupils can achieve.' @marcrowland73 @JohnCattEd johncattbookshop.com/address…

What children need when the pandemic is over: children’s centres, playgroups, youth clubs, sports clubs, swimming, music & drama groups, days out, birthday parties, visits to museums, the theatre, cinemas, residentials, outdoor ed. What they don’t need: more maths and English.

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us. They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

This is the thread you need to read this morning.
Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.

I’m thinking about my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the generations of Black women who came before me who believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible.
