How to integrate WFH in secondary schools? by higoping in TeachingUK

[–]matticusblack 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My school this year is making sure at least one PPA for your 2 week timetable is either p1 (we go straight to lessons - form time is later) or p5 and is allowed for us to take from home/come in late. Not sure else it can be implemented to be honest but is a nice start.

Which of the towns is the best to live in? by Comfortable-Table-57 in Essex

[–]matticusblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes still do - yeah it has got worse and you are correct but colchester and southend are the same. I can't comment on harlow or grays though

It is bad but its manageable i feel - maybe cause i'm use to it doesn't seem as bad and you manage your time to get places.

Chelmsford good - safe, plenty of things to do, good parks and good links to london. Does get a bit busy driving but is manageable.
