Big congratulations to our classroom assistants Mrs Metcalfe & Mrs Smyth for completing their qualification - I say this often but I'll say it again - we have the best classroom assistants ever #TeamSEND ❤️

1/2 In my experience, I have found classroom assistants to be invaluable both in relation to curriculum and pastoral needs.
✅They are an excellent barometer for class climate and how groups move through the sch day.
📈They need to be paid a fair wage and shouldn't have to wait so long for an uplift.

Well done, Neve (Y14). What an amazing opportunity. Massive thanks to @curriculumni, @amandasalt and @DrIanCollen for encouraging Neve and facilitating all of this.
Today my wonderful mentee from @BallyclareHigh came to work shadow me @seaviewps as part of the @SistersIN_HQ programme. Huge thanks to my brilliant staff who spoke to her about teaching @DrIanCollen and @amandasalt who spoke so passionately to her about teaching MFL. #IWD

So very sorry to hear that Joy Alexander has passed away. She was a fabulous English PGCE coordinator at @QUBSSESW & was an inspiration to many of us as students. She was wise, gentle & a font of all knowledge. What a loss to education in NI 💔
