We have a rota in our staffroom for emptying the dishwasher. I am famous for forgetting to do it (totally undeservedly in my view!!) I've created RotaMate which produces a rota for job but it also notifies people when it's their turn! youtube.com/watch?v=NyvJ11…
📌 New Podcast Episode - What we can learn from the UK when it comes to religion in schools simonmlewis.substack.com/p/what-we-can-… 🔗 slew.is
Everyone seems paralysed by fear that if we remove religion from the system, that something dreadful will happen simonmlewis.substack.com/p/beyond-belie…
if a group of non-believing parents are happy for a non-believing teacher to teach a group of non-believing children to believe, there is something completely absurd going on. simonmlewis.substack.com/p/beyond-belie…
I’ve been writing about religious control of schools for well over a decade and I’ve found that people tend to throw the same arguments out. The most common one of all is the argument that parents want Catholic Schools. 🔗 simonmlewis.substack.com/p/pray-tell-wh…
When I hear parents and teachers tell me that religious education in Catholic schools isn’t really about the dogma, but it’s about the values, I have to try very hard to practice one of those values: self-control. Full article: simonmlewis.substack.com/p/beyond-belie…

If we take inflation into account, what we can see, very clearly, that 2025 is the lowest ICT grant in history - my latest post about the ICT grant that finally arrived. simonmlewis.substack.com/p/why-the-cut-…
Sometimes it's important to listen to other perspectives and I was very interested to hear how David Kennedy tackled my education hero, Áine Hyland. It's a fascinating 2-part podcast, which got me thinking more about why divestment is doomed to failure. open.spotify.com/episode/658VGx…

Principals...what summer admin job do you dread? I'm looking at making tools to reduce that workload. My first project was a school calendar generator and my next plan is a staffroom cleaning rota maker! If I could take a headache or two away from you, what would it be?

You might have received an email from the Teaching Council encouraging you to take part in the Summer Programme. I found it unusual because the Teaching Council ONLY job is twofold - promote the profession and regulate it. This isn't promoting the profession.
This is the relative percentage of the capitation grant that a school pays in electricity (and other energy) since 2007. This graph alone should tell you everything you need to know about why schools are struggling financially. pod.fo/e/2c0e58
Like most social problems, we look to schools to sort it all out, and that's why I was asked to go on Moncrieff. The point of the segment was to see if Ireland should start looking for more men to get in the profession. goloudplayer.com/episodes/are-m…
