Got 10 mins? My @TEDx talk is about the importance of connection and relationships, the pressure of time and what I really think matters not just as a school leader but as a human being too. 🔴🖤 #tedx #tedxnorwiched #PrimaryRocks #leadership #ukedchat m.youtube.com/watch?v=FGvyQe…
Starting Monday (even though I’m still at work!) I’ll pin a 4for40 post at the top of the Edutwitter community using the hashtag #4for40. Please join in sharing 4 photos each day for 40 days taking us to the end of August. Can be anything: Days out, dinners, drinks, sights!
This isn’t enough. You can’t leave it to schools alone to tackle society’s biggest issues. Go to the source; introduce legislation that bans children under 16 from accessing social media. Anything less is a sticking plaster on a gaping wound.
Children will be taught how to combat misogyny and resist ‘incel culture’ in schools under new guidance lbc.co.uk/news/uk/childr…

'It was beyond description how awful it was.' Professor @maynard_nick has just returned from Gaza, working as a volunteer surgeon at Nasser Hospital. He talks to @adilray and @CharlotteHawkns about the 'appalling malnutrition' he saw and how baby formula has been confiscated…

The DfE has updated its sport premium expenditure guidance. Many school leaders are now on holiday. The website keeps crashing. The advice? Crack on before 8:00 or after 18:00. Will @educationgovuk ever take school leadership workload and wellbeing seriously, @bphillipsonMP?

When the debate (and complaints) about the length of the school summer holiday in the U.K. begins, I always think it’s worth looking at the situation in other countries. Well… 👀




The introduction of @UKLabour’s free breakfast clubs further blurs this line. Feeding children is inherently a good thing: forcing schools to deliver a universal offer of 30 mins free childcare daily is something else entirely and a logistical nightmare for many.
How long before the nonsense circulates that the school summer break, despite being one of the shortest in the world, is too long in England? We need to stop conflating education with child care; they're different things.
My lanyard is in its safe place. I will definitely remember this on 1st September. 👀
Right... it's the end of term for the majority. So I'm here to ask if anyone wants to play #EduGuessWho? Send me a baby pic if you do! I'll start next week. Please share 🙏 @ottleyoconnor @sphoenix78 @9teaNinePercent @A_mcgeeney @anneg45738105 @Artology @ExHT_nowPhase3 @K_Cauchi

Is anyone else having issues with the sports premium reporting tool? It’s been so slow the last few days and keeps throwing me off. I’ve asked if the deadline will be extended. Having a deadline in the middle of the hols (31/07)is also terrible for wellbeing. @educationgovuk
Today I received an FOI request from @BDSAssociation. I’d genuinely ask all organisations to consider if sending such a request, in the last throes of the academic year, is reasonable for school leaders even if they consider it not to be ‘onerous or complicated.’
Turkish because it’s soooo different to any other language I’ve learned (Romance or Germanic ones) and Italian because it sounds sooooo beautiful. 😍 🗣️ 🇹🇷 🇮🇹
What is your favorite language to learn ?
You’ll struggle to convince me that inspecting in the last week of the year and SATs week is ok.
We’ve had the call. Tomorrow (sports day) and Wednesday. Positive thoughts please people😅😇
