Teaching British Values – Moving Beyond Recall

By Janice Sutherland | 30 September 2026

A School Development Partner’s perspective In my role as one of Education North Tyneside’s School Development Partners, I regularly attend the final feedback meetings of Ofsted inspections. There is a recurring theme: while pupils can often name the five British Values, they are less confident when asked to explain what…

Black History Month UK 2026

By Rashda Salamat | 28 September 2026

Black History Month is more than a celebration of the past; it is an opportunity to recognise the people and places that continue to shape our lives today.

Setting your September boundaries

By Janice Sutherland | 15 September 2026

As teachers, we step into the new academic year determined to be the most organised, creative, and inspiring versions of ourselves. But this early-autumn adrenaline hides a dangerous trap. Driven by the desire to get everything “perfect” for our new cohorts, we stay late, respond to evening emails, and spend…

Identifying the Gaps Early

Baseline your new cohort without the burnout The first few weeks of September are always a whirlwind: new books, new faces and establishing new routines.

By Diane Embley | 09 September 2026

As the sun begins to set on summer and autumn nears, Jewish communities around the world prepare for one of the most meaningful holidays on the calendar-Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. But this isn’t a night of glitter and champagne. Rosh Hashanah is a time to pause, reflect, and…

By Jade Potter | 07 September 2026

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from working in schools, it’s that inclusion isn’t about having a perfect intervention programme or a folder full of paperwork. It’s about making sure every child feels like they belong, can access learning, and has the opportunity to succeed. With the SEND reform high…

RE and the National Curriculum – What Does It Mean for Schools?

By Janice Sutherland | 15 July 2026

You may have seen the recent announcement that Religious Education is set to become part of the National Curriculum for the first time. While there are still details to come, it’s a significant moment for the subject and one that many people in the RE community have been working towards for…

Every Child Achieving and Thriving: An EAL Teacher’s Perspective on an Invisible Cohort

By Rashda Salamat | 13 July 2026

The Every Child Achieving and Thriving white paper positions itself as a bold step toward a more inclusive education system. It promises early identification, consistent national standards, and a commitment to ensuring that no child is “side-lined”. As an English as an Additional Language (EAL) teacher, I welcome this ambition. Inclusion matters. Early…
