I am utterly thrilled to have been appointed Director of English @InspirationEast. Looking forward to continuing our work with the most amazing English teachers.
I am pleased to share that I will be joining @astreaacademies to lead on curriculum and assessment. Looking forward to adding to the exciting work that has already begun. It’s going to be ace! Looking forward to collaborating and supporting the secondary teams
On the way to picking up our new puppy, I scoffed at the puppy podcast (yes I know) that we listened to on the way. ‘It’s like having a newborn’ they said. Oh, how I laughed. ‘I bet it isn’t!’ I thought. Turns out it is 100% like having newborn. Good job she’s cute!
What @SaysMiss, @mmgiovanelli and @AstonUniversity put on today at the @LitdriveUK conference 23 was outstanding. Brilliant range of speakers with current and important topics to discuss. Fantastic support from university guides — very well put together. Thanks for having me!
Unreal to bring to a close almost five years @InspirationEast. I’ve too many brilliant and wonderful colleagues to tag and thank, but you know who you are. I’m leaving a fantastic curriculum team — you’re bloody great!
So excited to meet @astreaacademies’ Secondary Curriculum Team for our first Curriculum Day tomorrow. It’ll be such an important moment as we look at making the most of the trust dividend to collaborate and design a shared curriculum with our brilliant subject communities. 👀
Absolutely loved my first full week as Director of English @InspirationEast. It’s been unbelievably exciting and I’ve only just started! What a brilliant team around me: @pjohnston778 & @MissEdenEnglish!
So pleased to be able to share that we’ve expanded our brilliant @astreaacademies Curriculum Team. We’re thrilled to be able to welcome the wondering @APBmaths as our new National Lead for Mathematics and fantastic @SamECottrill as our new National Lead for Science.
The possibilities of this work by the @EnglishAssoc are massive. Connecting universities with English departments is genius! Really excited that @InspirationEast are going to pilot a hub! Could you be next? 👀
Primary friends, I am in awe of what you do. Just finished at the boy’s Y1 Christmas show. I have no idea how you coordinate something like this with 30 children. I struggle to get 2 out of the house each day, never mind 30 singing beautiful festive songs! #thankyouteachers
