Researching next term's courses, I came across this slide from a year or two ago. A reminder that English is a subject that resists easy chronological sequencing. Success lies in making effective choices, ones which may well be different to someone else's www.englishandmedia.co.uk/courses/
Why dei IS recruitment on merit.

I wrote this about art restoration for the FT. www.ft.com/content/bfa0...
Best bit was when you admitted the book was actually about the set backs to British art. Was good to hear. Because I had been reading it thinking, "Hang on... When do we get to some British art...?!?"
Thanks!
Shoutout to the homie @fdsignifier.bsky.social for putting this out and pointing people to advocates!

Can't wait to see this show by under-celebrated Black Surrealist artist Wifredo Lam.
He was contemporaries and colleagues with Picasso, Breton, and Césaire. There are photos of him and Picasso hanging out. He did artwork for Césaire's book (with Picasso). Breton wrote intro.
It closes April. #BHM
Despite its looks, the English word ‘heart’ is etymologically related to ‘cardio’, ‘cordial’, ‘to record’, ‘courage’, and even Spanish ‘corazón’.
Through Germanic, Greek, and Latin, these words all derive from a Proto-Indo-European root meaning “heart”.

Nearly time for the Year 7 French exhibition!
NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.
“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.
We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
Next Thursday, 19th March, I'm talking at the King's Lynn festival, on The Invention of British Art. See you there!

You could have told me. I went all the way to London! Mind you, had a good day at the Abbey and the national gallery. So thanks!
‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI
I used a PowerPoint once with my Y9. Instead of building up with Q&A to the board. Never again! They automatically went into some kind of "he's trying to catch us out for not knowing/not listening" mode instead of working through what they thought. It was incredible.
This year's "targets" (no SATs) don't take account of the fact that lower grades are given out in MFL.
Makes conversations about tier decisions (nightmare with no grade boundaries) with parents even more difficult.
"Their target is a 7."
