Another year over, a new one just begun?
What has @AAWoodfields done to now? And what are our big moves for 2025/26?
🧵
To all who’ve finished today, congratulations and enjoy your summer 😄
To all those with a week to go, chin up and have a word with your local authorities 👎

Had a great day visiting @AstreaAcadSheff today with @MrsSandersMaths. Lovely to see @AMercerMaths in his new role, get to meet the maths department & see their scholars in action. Some fab work going on to close the gaps for Y10 after their mocks & kicking off Probability in Y8.

I’ve now updated my ‘badly completed test papers’ with the 2025 maths papers! Each one has a range of correct and incorrect answers featuring common errors and misconceptions for children to identify.
Here's a Google Drive link with the badly completed arithmetic and reasoning papers from 2017-2022 featuring common misconceptions and errors to use in lessons. I shared these recently but had issues with Dropbox, so here's an alternative! drive.google.com/drive/folde…
Saddened to be missing #mathsconf38 but having a bit of family time after a manic few weeks. Looking forward photos/ideas to pinch on here though 👍

It’s one year since @Ofstednews published the first Good judgement in our history. What has @DonnyFreePress had to say about us this year? 🧵

I cannot say how much this thread resonates with me! @AMercerMaths says he is leaving @AAWoodfields, but he is thankfully staying in the @astreaacademies family.
I joined at Easter, & cannot stress how much I have enjoyed every moment so far. Only thing to add is...
Whilst I can’t wait for what comes next, I am sad to be leaving @AAWoodfields soon, and want to say about why sometimes it’s worth taking a punt on “the rough school”…

8) So if you’re thinking of going for a new role, don’t rule out “the rough school.”
The kids there deserve strong teachers. And with the right staff, culture, ethos and persistence, miracles certainly do happen 👍
(And I know it’s after the transfer window but do have a look at any jobs we might have going! 😊)
