Ever had to step into a class on supply and wonder what the day holds? ๐๐ซ๐
A clear daily or weekly plan sitting on the desk makes a world of difference when covering a class. It gives cover staff a quick overview of the day's structure and recent learning without overwhelming them with unnecessary paperwork!
In this clip from Episode 31 of Letโs Chat: Leading Learning, former primary headteacher Adrian Anderson shares why clear, simple desk plans are essential for smooth coverโand how they help remove professional guilt when teachers are off sick.

A well-organised play space does more than keep things tidy, it helps children play with purpose.
When resources are easy to see, reach and put away, children can make independent choices, take ownership of their learning and spend more time exploring instead of searching. It also makes tidying up that little bit easier (which is always a bonus!).
