One of the perks of this year has been that I have had complete autonomy over the RE curriculum. Also, with no GCSE/A-Level to focus on, I’ve had the time to completely focus on the often forgotten KS3 curriculum. My agenda at the start of the year was to create an entirely academic style of … More Making our RE curriculum more academic! | rsefton

It has been a difficult time in the public sector. From junior doctors protests over new contracts, teacher shortages in schools, forced academisation, rows over benefits for the disabled, and the latest emotional ‘they’re ruining our NHS’ viral Facebook status from a nurse. Recently I have been reflecting a lot on my status as a … More Public Servants | chriseyreteaching
I’ve sat in different halls when the newly revised and rewritten version of the school’s mission statement has been revealed. I’ve been on both sides – part of the SLT who is sharing it or a member of staff, being shown version number 473. I’ve heard the cynical sniggers from those who cast it aside … More What is your mission statement? | imisschalk

I’ve blogged already on why I think revision needs to be ditched. The term revision in secondary schools is generally used synonymously with ‘cramming’, ‘learning something you don’t already know’ or at worst ‘a teacher giving up their holiday to put in more work so that you might pass your exam’. In a discussion with … More Time to change the language of learning or is it just semantics? | missdcox

Recently I saw a book called Walking with God through Pain and Suffering by Timothy Keller. I readily admit I didn’t read the whole book but, knowing Keller’s penchant for Calvinism, I couldn’t help but read the chapter called The Sovereignty of God. As you would expect, there are the common explanations that suffering is … More Led up the garden path by Timothy Keller | aRemonstrant’sRamblings

I haven’t blogged for a while and I’ve now finished work to have my baby. I’m sorry people, the blogs that have been in my head for a while are probably all going to come together! First of all, I want to discuss the dangers of non-specialist teaching. This time around I was the non-specialist … More Non-Specialist Teaching… it’s dangerous! | rsefton
