I'll never forget my first Ofsted lesson observation, as an NQT, when they said I couldn't rely on this level of energy to engage and enthuse my class as it would diminish as I got older. I hope they get to watch this, 20 years later. 🤔
If anyone is wondering whether retirement is for them here is a 🧵 to mark my one year of retirement. My job as Head of School and full time Y5/6 classes was mental but I loved it and loved my school. Took the decision to go at 59 and since then there have been pros and cons…
One of the best films I have ever seen, an instant classic. #F1TheMovie
Remember the name. Remember the day. Chloe Kelly may have scored the winner, poking in the rebound from her saved penalty deep into ET but it was Michelle Agyemang, whose surname translates as “saviour of a nation” who stepped up when it mattered most. theguardian.com/football/2025/…
All the fellas saying stuff about women's football., my 5 year old daughter is screaming with excitement here and having a very late night for extra time 🤣🤣
Love this comment from Bin Boy's mum 🤣🤣🤣
The last Golden Buzzer has left the building! Wasn't at all weird when me and Bin Boy knocked on one of our neighbours doors to ask if we could have a photo with their bin. 😂🥰

ABCD Austerity Brexit Covid Disaster in Ukraine. We've had enough.
Our communities are on their knees. After years of austerity & and unrelenting cost of living crisis, they’re skint/exhausted & being stirred up by Farage’s divisive rhetoric. His confrontational style gives permission for others to do the same & I see first hand the damage he is…
Every week we get a read-out from Cabinet - the weekly meeting of the Government's most senior ministers. It's sent round to journalists by No10. And to be honest, normally, it's pretty boring. But this week - it acknowledged something really quite important. A year on for the…
It is simply not fit for purpose. Time for a brave govt to accept that the system is broken and needs to be thrown out and start again

That feeling when you want to call out a high-profile politician presenting themselves as the solution when they're actually part of the problem but daren't because of the inevitable vitriol you will get in return. Hurts to watch the huge impact on our communities in real time.
You won't find two more contrasting Sundays than the one before you break up and the one before you go back.
The demands, expectations and challenges facing those who work in schools are very different from what they were for most people who started their roles pre-2020. It's a different world.
If you're not watching the Women's Euros, you're missing out.
