Well done to Schools Week for digging in to what might look like a technical issue, but in reality will be what makes this framework fall apart.

Schools Week have devised a quiz! Higher or Lower! Can you spot which statement in the Ofsted framework is for the higher grade?! schoolsweek.co.uk/ofsted-quiz-...

Enjoying my collection of edu-mugs this afternoon @teachertapp.bsky.social @reachteachtrain.bsky.social @steplab.bsky.social

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday. Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

🚨IT’S HERE!!🚨 Last year, the team at StepLab came in to record some of the great lessons at @reachschools.bsky.social and chat teaching and learning with the team. I have the privilege of seeing my fantastic colleagues teach day after day and can’t wait to dive into this documentary 🤩

At Reach Schools, we believe in the power of practice and the importance of habits. Habits are hard to break and arguably harder to build.

We’re looking for a Director of Transformation to join our team. Over the last few years we’ve worked with over 100 schools to better support children and families. We need someone who can help us take this work to national scale. Interested? 👇🏽 thereachfoundation.hrpartner.io/jobs/directo...

“Surround yourself with people who share your drive and your values. People who are smart, who will challenge you. People that you love to be around. And don’t wait for the government to tell you to do something you know is right.”

Huge shout out to Louis who, in the midst of opening a brand new school, still found the time to come and speak to our 2025 cohort of trainee teachers. I’ve been luck enough to pop into a few lessons at RAHP and what they’ve already created is pretty special! @louiseverett.bsky.social

Yesterday, we gathered the whole Reach Family: Reach Schools & @thereachfoundation.bsky.social 🤩It was a pretty special feeling. 🤯How often do you get so many smart, talented people, all working on the same mission, in one room? And I got to present our work at @reachteachtrain.bsky.social 😍

☀️In just a few days, many teachers will be starting in new schools. I wrote this blog in 2019 after starting at my third school. A fresh start is exciting but can be tricky. So what’s the secret to success? 🚨Spoiler alert: building great relationships. educatingholmes.weebly.com/blog/learnin...

Why you should film yourself teach (even/especially when it’s awkward). (This was a guest post for IRIS, but it doesn’t have to be with their platform. You can use school phones or other alternatives within your school’s safeguarding processes). educatingholmes.weebly.com/blog/teacher... #EduSky

Love the Meno Academy videos 🏛️ Incredibly accessible primers that will be must watch content for busy primary teachers about to embark on a new topic 🧠

Peps smashing it again 👊 Looking forward to the first Snacks of the new year 🍪

We romanticise much in education, including choice. The idea that curriculum could be personalised based on learners' preferences is one example. Are 14 yr old really the best people to make edu choices that will affect their entire future? Keep a broad, rich, general education right through to 18
