A great day for Year 10 working on communication skills and careers workshops with @CommunityOsprey and @CareersWales. Thank you for giving up your time to work with our pupils!
The English Department thoroughly enjoyed taking part in @stjosephscomp’s International Day of Language and Culture today and teaching our pupils about education in Pakistan!

Mrs. Murphy’s Year 11s: Remember you have your oracy assessment tomorrow. See my door if you forget what time you have been allocated.
Mr. Smith’s class, your assessment is Wednesday.
New plea: suggestions for post-2000 comparison texts for Lady Chatterley’s Lover and To Kill a Mockingbird? #TeamEnglish @EnglishWales
Can anyone think of a post 2000 comparison text for Nineteen Eighty-Four or Dorian Grey? #TeamEnglish @EnglishWales
Looking forward to meeting colleagues in one of our feeder primaries tomorrow to discuss curriculum and conduct pupil voice. Are there any useful questions I should ask to help inform my planning for KS3? @EnglishWales #collaborativeplanning
Wow! A parent has kindly donated all these books and more to @stjosephscomp library today. We are so grateful! Not only are they books pupils want to read, they’re also in pristine condition. Thank you so much! #bookrecycle 📚♻️
Year 11, please return your old copies of OMAM, Heroes and An Inspector Calls (plus any revision guides you bought) for a chance to win a voucher for iTunes, Topshop or Nando’s! The raffle will be drawn at prom. Each book you recycle is worth one raffle ticket. @stjosephscomp📚♻️

Due to a change in staffing, we are looking to employ a new member of our English department for September 2019. Ours is a welcoming and highly-skilled department and we’re looking for someone enthusiastic to join our team: eteach.com/job/teacher-of-en…
Does anyone have any strategies for improving pupils’ oracy, particularly in formal settings, at a whole school level? All ideas welcomed! @EnglishWales please RT. ☺️

It's half term! Do revise over this week, but also build in some rest time too. You don't want to overdo it & risk burn-out, but you also don't want to waste this valuable opportunity & then feel more stressed when you go back to your exams. It's a delicate balancing act.
The excitement and endless opportunities that present themselves in planning for a new school year! 🤗🤪 Does anyone have any resources to share for #Wonder? @EnglishWales
