Work was prepared in advance for each student, accompanied by clear success criteria. During the lesson, Tanya provided individual feedback on post-it notes for students to act on. As a result, students were able to clearly articulate their tasks.

Using a visualiser to provide feedback, model and scaffold. This is a great example of live modelling where whole class can see.

Hinge questions are most commonly associated with subjects like Maths and Science, where they effectively check for understanding at critical points in a lesson. It was encouraging to see this technique being thoughtfully adapted in English, demonstrating how formative assessment strategies can be successfully transferred across subjects to support deeper learning and clarify misconceptions in real time.

From the moment students enter the classroom, Rahaf creates a highly engaging learning environment through the use of a well-structured starter activity, where students compete to find the correct answer for a house point. This simple yet effective strategy immediately captures their attention and sets a purposeful tone for the lesson. What stood out was not just the high level of engagement, but the clear learning that was taking place as a result. Rahaf models concepts with clarity and precision, followed by the effective use of the 'I try, you try' approach, which supports students in building confidence and independence in their learning.

"Lily makes effective use of gamification to enhance both engagement and learning. By incorporating platforms like Blooket, she not only captures students’ interest but also uses it purposefully to assess their understanding of key language concepts. The activity is more than just fun, it's a well-considered formative tool that enables immediate feedback and reinforces learning. Students clearly enjoy the experience, and their enthusiasm contributes to a positive and focused classroom environment.

Shared Modelled Writing for IGCSE Business

The girls have been working together (supported and guided by me) to write model responses for exam questions. Yesterday, they focused on "Justify" and used coloured coding to identify the skills they applied. They then compared these to the assessment rubric to support their self-assessment and reflection.

HPL Focus - Speed and accuracy, meta-cognition, and reflection.

Thanks to all staff - there were some great presentations across the School: 'Live experiments' in Science, Computer Science, Art work showcase (Presentation above), and Business were inundated...sorry Nafiza! National subjects - thank you for providing valuable information to Parents! Hope you get a well deserved rest over the weekend.

Building Motivation and Accountability in Year 7 Maths

# data[].attributes.body
Struggled with a chatty Year 7 class that found it hard to get started and stay on task. I introduced a personal progress tracker that recorded effort, behavior, and number of questions attempted. It worked! Students began taking ownership, celebrating their progress, and even competing in a healthy way:

“I did 5!” – “I helped a friend!” – “Can you write 8 for me?” This tool has allowed me to highlight the good while gently addressing off-task behavior—without confrontation. It’s also opened up great reflective conversations with students.

To make solving equations more engaging, we kicked off the lesson with a card-based activity. Students matched parts of equations and collected like terms before solving. Starting with a game helped lower stress and build confidence—especially for those who find algebra tricky!
