This morning Mr Coombes was on the Radio 1 breakfast show with @gregjames. ‘If Thomas the tank played saxophone would he play it through his mouth or through the chimney?’ What do you think?

#AskKirsty Do you know when the guidance will be released regarding calculating capacity for schools? Also, are secondary schools expected to teach specific subjects or will this be more of a PSE/Check In type situation. Diolch

Hi all,
So far this week has been a great success with 9 students in the Academy. On Monday we will be welcoming all 900 of our students back. Don’t forget the two day Mocksted starting on Tuesday. (It is on the calendar.) Blank lesson plan sheets are on the staff drive.
Thanks x

Fantastic day @ExitusRooms today. Only 4 out of 10 groups manage to escape from these rooms but all of our pupils managed to escape in the nick of time ⏱️ Well done to you all 👍🏼 They thoroughly enjoyed and have been a credit to Afon Tâf 🏅 #teamtaf #mathstrip

A massive 'Da Iawn' to our Student Council today who made the school proud at the Annual Student Conference in Merthyr. They spoke confidently and eloquently about some very current topics affecting our education at present. Impressive work! #TeamTâf #Wellbeing

Direct Message for a copy of the sketchnote...
1. Banish lesson gradings
2. Stop (abnormal) appraisal observations every 3 months
3. Introduce coaching all teachers
4. Ensure coaching CPD is rigorous
5. All-staff entitlement
6. No paperwork, revolutionary I know!
P Cooksley retweeted
To embed coaching is a challenge for schools, as well as the stigma associated with it.
1. Time is protected
2. Teaching and learning conversations are the heartbeat of pedagogy
3. Relationships are considerate of gender, hierarchy and departments.
