DESC’s English Dept are making a commitment this academic year to developing our professional learning, reading and research skills even further!
Ideas for developing teaching practice are shared by all members of staff , via shared folders, email, “Flamingo Thursday” and our Tuesday Tweak of the Week! Our favourite blog post is emailed to the Dept every Tuesday afternoon, this is a fantastic opportunity to share and learn from some of the excellent work that is happening in other schools.
