Whenever I read an article like this about reducing exclusions, I want a chance to hear from teachers in the school. The ones actually dealing with the behaviours in the classroom.

How ‘true’ inclusion cuts exclusions

A new approach to inclusion has helped one school to reduce exclusions to zero and significantly cut suspensions. Phil Humphreys and Kiran Gill explain how

Great day at #rED25 and delighted to present my first session after many years of lurking in the audience! Some excellent new ideas for 6th form teaching from a session on the research behind independent learning from @paulclinepsy.bsky.social and @mikehobbiss.bsky.social

One of my favourite results today was for a student who only got one grade 4+ today.

It was in maths and it was testament to incredible hard work from her and a number of SEND staff who supported her.

Success looks different for different folks.

That was one of the best grades earned today.

I know I say this every year, but with results day on the horizon, please remember that for some kids grade 1-3 is a huge achievement. It represents years of hard work and determination. It’s not a fail. It is a GCSE qualification that they can and should be celebrated for.

⚠️New Post: Attention ⚠️

"What we attend to, we amplify."

Attention is an element of school leadership.

schools like mine directly. We wouldn’t recruit an ECT via an agency but we could probably squeeze a humanities ECT in for September given our growth.

Reach out if you are interested - we are a great place to work and you would be joining a school on the up.

My core job is teaching English but my TLR impacts every area of our school. I'm proud of the work in those areas and been lucky to lead a fabulous team.

EAL improvement:

Sept: 8% of school as Band A, new to English
May: (inc 3 pupils that arrived in MARCH): 0.66% Band À

And literacy! See image.

It depends on whether you want face to face or email feedback. Because of lack of sufficient time, feedback by email is an option but there needs to be an agreed format to these emails.

A Level results will be known by school leaders tomorrow.

Lots of school leaders and teachers are anxiously waiting.

There are lots of people that work in education in various roles, but if you are not directly responsible for results, then you don’t really understand what I’m talking about.
