Dawn was a huge support to me every time I asked for her advice. She challenged and supported when needed. I miss her wisdom and knowledge. I know you miss so much more.

Next month’s #New2RE webinar will explore Pagan traditions. Free for ECTs and teachers with other specialisms who are new to teaching RE natre.org.uk/courses-and-events/new2re/

My cat would swipe at the tv to try and catch fish swimming past. He also hated jigsaw puzzles and would steal pieces so you couldn’t do them.

Does Doyle enjoy other tv? I had a cat that loved wildlife programs (and one that hated jigsaw puzzles)

Hope that you are ok. I imagine that the next few days will be challenging too. Best advice I have ever been given is to be gentle with yourself.

Thinking of you and Dawn today especially. Be gentle with yourself.

It is so awful. I have been thinking about you both as a friend has just lost their partner with no warning and I have no idea how I can best support. Sending hugs.

What a lovely thing to do. Was it as nice as it sounds?

Free CPD for A-level RS teachers @natre-update.bsky.social #teamRE

For so many of us Dawn is never simply a list of assets. She continues to be a guide, a challenge and a source of inspiration. She is greatly missed as she touched so many lives. Both of you are still in my thoughts.

I’ve created snappy checklists for the following-

✅ Behaviour for Learning
✅ Inclusive Teaching
✅ Accessible Content
✅ CPD Engagement
✅ Literacy Boost
✅ Teacher Wellbeing
✅ Equity in the Classroom
✅ TA Empowerment
✅ Leadership for Learning
✅ Professional Conversations
And more…!

@deborahweston.bsky.social does fantastic work for NATRE, including the role of research officer. In this report she provides analysis of RS GCSE data for England and Wales to help busy heads of department

Husband took me to Hay on Wye today. I was very restrained and only went into 3 bookshops (but this is less than half of what I got)
