classroom experience, there was a huge amount

to celebrate: staff used the time to be creative

and innovative about the way they delivered

lessons and engaged students, from interactive

activities on platforms like Nearpod, to high

energy competitive quizzes; students were able

to access individual and small group intervention

through Teams after school and during study centre

periods; staff were able to use features like “class

notebook” to track and respond to student work in

real time; teachers recorded their own audiobooks

of set texts (complete with voices!) and both staff

and students were able to bring some of their home

personas to the classroom.

As a result of our successes over lockdown, the transition

back to in-school teaching was simple. We kept the best

of online learning, and regained the in-person interaction

that we missed so much as teachers. If the past 18 months

have taught us anything, it is how much the students we

teach are the best part of our jobs.

Teachers brought atmosphere and personality

to their virtual classrooms with custom

backgrounds. Gothic Victorian houses when

studying Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, theatre sets

for lessons on plays to the White House or the

Death Star – we explored!

Being online allowed us to be more creative

with our task setting. Here, year 13 created a gif

summary of their set text Hamlet. The only rules

were – no words allowed!
