Very soon English teachers will be asked to include drama in the curriculum. Not sure what that will look like but many have not had opportunities to discover how to use drama in lessons, other than reenactments. Keep an eye on @NationalDrama & @NATEfeed websites for support.

But it’s especially hard for ECTs, I do appreciate. @OnceaHead mentored and appointed many, as well as working as a Teach First tutor for a number of years, so he really does get it. I’m hoping to do some work with @NATEfeed this year on supporting ECTs too.

Reading is about the relationship between reader and book but also about the relationship between reader and reader.
To broaden the reading community my pupils are part of, this morning they all wrote reading postcards for children at another school.

I'm delighted to be included in the latest issue of Teaching English magazine as the winner of the @NATEfeed Primary Award.
It's lovely to have my work recognised, and I'm even more pleased that it creates another opportunity to highlight the value of reading for pleasure.

I was pleased to run a drama workshop at the NATE conference & my colleagues from @National_Drama had some positive conversations with teachers about the contribution drama can make to English. The day was wonderful and I look forward to reading every word of this mag.

It was a brilliant conference with so many English teachers keen to learn more about drama.

I have conference jealousy!!! I’m busy completing a book and collating an anthology of children’s writing or I would have been there. Next year.

When planning becomes something to be obeyed rather than interpreted, what happens to the human moments that bring learning to life?
Series 2 of No Running in the Corridors podcast kicks off with AHT Chris Dilley & @thecockerill from @NATEfeed.

Brilliant piece Barbara! I’ve only read quickly but I’ll be rereading more carefully on Monday and following up on some of the refs. I haven’t read the Burgess et al study, which sounds v interesting

"A few very limited talk strategies have appeared and been endlessly discussed on social media. They risk sucking all the oxygen out of the room": a superb synthesis of genuine, gimmick-free #oracy education by @BarbaraBleiman @NATEfeed: nate.org.uk/2026/06/05/think…

Interesting article in @NATEfeed on ‘Why good writers still struggle with new writing tasks’
It explains new research exploring how writing in history, science & English varies and the different demands & opportunities they create.

Can anyone recommend any great English Lit A Level teaching in the south west that might allow me to come and observe/ pick their brains on June 29th?
@NATEfeed @EnglishAssoc @mr_englishteach @LauraLolder @DoWise @SPryke2
Huge thanks if anyone has any contacts!
