Happy half term everyone. We have recently lost our exams officer and I was planning on doing the Pearson Edexcel Functional Skills level 1 English papers when we return but I can’t access them! Does anyone have the current live papers please?

English and Phonics Leads, do you know about your local English hub who can come to your school and carry out a phonics/early reading audit?
We had ours from the Wandle English Hub, which resulted in a £6k payment for us to spend on improving our phonics offering!

Ok, I’m sure that this place is lovely, but what’s with the unsolicited DMs from men?
I’m here for education peeps, pets, lovely photos and good vibes.

Education is about balance—equipping students with knowledge while empowering them to apply it in meaningful ways. Let's cultivate both wisdom and skill to prepare them for life beyond the classroom. 🌱

Really looking forward to teaching KS4 again in September. Year 10 kick off with this beauty.
Our approach is underpinned by the following principles:
✅️Warm read of whole text prior to study.
✅️An enquiry-led approach to track character/themes across a text, rather than a chronological study.
