'77% of primary teachers have noticed a deterioration in pupils’ ability to perform precise movements since 2020' #primaryeducation #schools #ks2 #SATs

#Brightonmarathon weekend done. What a gorgeous event. Reminded around the 18-mile mark about the importance of resilience, determination & ambition as the heat hit and the legs began to ache & the finish line seemed so close yet so far away. I'm sure there's an assembly in there for the children!

Great collaborative Talk Matters meeting, as part of London's Violence Reduction Unit's Oracy project. Inspiring to come together with colleagues from around London, to share insights and strategies. Driving positive change & creating a sense of belonging and value for all.

Challenging 30km marathon training run today. What a beautiful day, London always looks so lush in the sunshine 😀 #ukrunchat #runningcommunityuk #running #runner #runningmotivation #happyrunner #runningcommunity #londonrunning #ukrunners #soundmindsoundbody

A great article in today's Observer and a life-changing project I am so proud to play a tiny part in. bit.ly/4io5oJ1 #londonsviolencereductionunit #VRU #mayoroflondon #oracy #literacy

An interesting read on the use of AI and EdTech, especially around pedagogy, suitable testing of the products being marketed to schools, data protection, biases and protected characteristics. www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/report/a-lea...

🧵 19KM TRAINING RUN: THE HIGHS & LOWS 🏃‍♀️ Some runs are smooth. Others test every ounce of mental strength. Today’s 19km was a mix of both. #BrightonMarathon #MarathonTraining #MindOverMiles #RunStrong #KeepPushing #RunningCommunity #EnduranceMindset

What a privilege for our year 6 to be asked to contribute to the International Holocaust Memorial Exhibition @uniofgreenwich. Hearing survivor stories was humbling. So proud of the artwork, aided by @amyartworksedu - this thank you is cherished but should be for all involved 🙏

A high-quality platform to showcase quality writing outcomes from our year 6 pupils. Coffee art inspired by Alwy Fadhel, balanced argument writing inspired by The Arrival by Shaun Tan. #publishing #shauntan #alwyfadhel #writing #primarywriting #highexpectations

What I love about London is that it is always possible to find a place of peace in such a busy city for a good, long run #running #marathontraining

21% of people were in poverty in 2003/04. 21% of people were still in poverty in 2022/23. 20 years and no progress on poverty 📢 Behind these numbers are real people. Real struggles. Listen to some of their voices. 1/2

Empowering our students with #Oracy skills not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them to thrive in an AI-transformed job market. Let's make speaking and listening a fundamental part of the curriculum 🌟 #Oracycambridge #FutureReady #Voice21

Seeing children ready to participate and engage in discussions is inspiring! 🌟 Oracy gives them the tools to express themselves with confidence and clarity, unlocking their full potential. #OracySkills #OracyCambridge #EveryVoiceMatters

#Oracy transforms lives! Introducing strategies into the classroom in high-deprivation areas like ours in SE London, has already shown it can build confidence, communication, & ultimately future opportunities. Every child deserves a voice! 🌟 oracycambridge.org #oracycambridge #EducationMatters

No matter how many times I watch the coffee pot, I'm always fascinated by this

Latest research from Oct finds around 7 million low-income households are still going without essentials. 📢 This number has barely moved for three years. 5.4 million low-income households said they were unable to afford enough food in the past 30 days. www.jrf.org.uk/cost-of-livi...

“We do know a lot about trauma, how it works and what makes it less bad” What is trauma? How should schools approach it - both in policies and interactions? Clinical psychologist David Tricky splits fact from fiction in this excellent Q&A www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Excited to see #oracy transforming our primary classrooms! Following audit by @topsypage.bsky.social, we began with the agreed language of 'respectful listening' - pupil attention has improved! Speaking for purpose builds confidence & deepens learning @OracyCam.bsky.social #Voice21 #edusky #UKEd

I found this @tesmagazine.bsky.social article on AI in the classroom quite thought-provoking, especially around the importance of quality human interaction. www.tes.com/magazine/tea... #edusky #education #eduskyAI

"Data for this year’s MTC shows that those born in September achieved the highest average score of 21.3, with each month thereafter following on, down to August-born children achieving 20." www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

I was having this very discussion with pupils two days ago. This highlights the many benefits of reading but also, as one child said to me, 'It takes me to places I don't get to go.' I teach inner-city children and it represents escapism for those who don't always get the opportunities others enjoy.

Worrying new data from @trusselluk.bsky.social. Hungry children cannot learn effectively. One way to take the impact of poverty out of the classroom is by widening Free School Meal eligibility to cover all families in receipt of Universal Credit. www.trussell.org.uk/news-and-res...

It's Class Pay Gap Day today 📆 On average, professionals from working-class backgrounds are paid 12% less per year than their more privileged peers in the same job. Find out more about the class pay gap rom the Social Mobility Foundation 👇 www.socialmobility.org.uk/campaign/the...

So vital we recognise the impact oracy can have in schools 👇
