Planning for extraordinary
Leila

Alongside my studies, I enjoy cooking, especially baking. I love trying new recipes out on my family and friends. They always enjoy eating whatever I have made for them.
Khadija
Waterside Academy
Khadija was part of the second cohort of students on the school’s prestigious colleges programme, applying to selective schools. She was successfully awarded a place at Fulham School on a full bursary worth £50,000.
Samuel
Cumberland Community School
For three years, I have been playing the piano and I regularly enjoy reading for pleasure. I am currently reading 'The Road Trip'.
Cemre
Waterside Academy
Cemre enrolled on the prestigious college programme and successfully was awarded a full scholarship to study A-levels at Ashbourne College worth £10,000 a term.
Amelia
Forest Gate School
Amelia began her first year at FGCS during a pandemic. Being in a new school and trying to figure out new rules during such an usual time was ‘weird’, but she praises the teachers around her for supporting her.
Lavinia
Forest Gate School
An active member in her school, Lavinia takes part in Student Council, Politeness Ambassadors, Anti-Bullying Club and multisports when she’s not studying.
Zakaria
Forest Gate School
Preparing for GCSEs is never easy, but Zakaria knows he has his teachers behind him: ‘As a year 11 student, I am very supported by my teachers who work really hard to help me with my exams.’

@Hailey_Turnford @CST_London @CAP_Edu_ @WhiteRoseMaths Thanks if you’ve already RT’ed, but if not then please spread the word about my big new free project. Very keen that teachers and maths fans share, so we can increase the number/diversity of excellent mathematicians. https://t.co/XQJAGNrABb
@CST_London - June 10
@DrKeithWatson1 @CST_London :) We use Lemov’s 3:30:30 rule for this - after instruction wait 3 mins (generally speaking) at the front so they can make a start and know you’re watching, then 30 secs checking on one student, then back to front watching for 30 secs, then start live marking
@CST_London - June 10
@MissTBegum @CST_London Helpful. In primary we rarely went 3 minutes without some interaction. Thanks for sharing. 👍

@SarahMasters139 @MissTBegum @FgcsTlc @CST_London This is a great summary of the live marking strategy: https://t.co/3EKU2vyLGK I don't use the tracker because my focus is on feedback to the student rather than tracking them but some find it helpful.

@TylaArabas @FgcsTlc @CST_London Planning your route and stopping to address misconceptions are fab additions :)
