On the same day I was awarded QTS and a resilience award, I’ve also just had a call from an interview I attended this morning and THEY’VE OFFERED ME THE JOB!!! What a day!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Teacher training? Completed it mate. ✅
Officially a qualified PE teacher! ⚽️🎾🏀🏐🏓⚾️🥎🏏🏒
It’s been one hell of a year and today makes it all worthwhile!
Looking forward to a long rewarding career in teaching. Onwards and upwards!

It's amazing how far behind you are with current times, considering you’re a billionaire. People who work from home are more productive, which you'd know if you remove your head out of your backside long enough to see.
Didn’t quite expect my original tweet to blow up in the way it did, I also didn’t expect to be called a scumbag by a billionaire. Lots of firsts today for me. 😂 Received some lovely messages and support, Twitter can be wonderful at times. 💙
Nothing annoys me more than when a parent emails me, accusing me of not dealing with an incident of bullying even though their child has mentioned nothing to me. 😒
I swear some think we’ve got crystal balls and can see everything that goes on even when we’re not around?

A thing called research - it's where you research things before commenting on a specific topic - might I suggest you carry some out? 😁
Today marks the start of a new chapter - starting my new job as a qualified PE teacher.
I’ve spent the last 10 years preparing for this - various roles in different schools alongside studying (degree, PGCE and SCITT). A little nervous but also excited and raring to go! 👊🏻
I have decided to pack in teacher training to go and work at

I’d be stupid not to apply for a job with that hourly rate. I could retire after a year. 😂

Day 1 of Ofsted is here!! 🤯
Managed to get some sleep, going to shower, grab some breakfast and head to work.
To say I’m nervous would be a huge understatement 😅 roll on tomorrow evening! 🤞🏼

“The watchdog inspected the school again in June in line with government guidelines to monitor schools that need to improve - and not as a result of Ms Perry's death.”
Meanwhile, it’s been over 10 years since some schools have been inspected. 🙃
I smell 🐮💩
PGCE induction finished and I must say I am no longer anxious for the year ahead! Looking forward to getting stuck into my teacher training year! Last day tomorrow turning 26 and starting my SCITT Friday!
@VickyAlcock
What rubbish. No teacher is going to ignore bullying or brush it under the carpet - at least in all of the schools I’ve worked in - it’s taken v seriously.
If a parent doesn’t trust it’ll be dealt with then it’s not my fault - if I’m unaware I can’t do anything about it.
@WhistleblowingT
I worked in a primary school where the head instructed me to take certain children to the outdoor learning area located at the end of the school field for the day due to an Ofsted inspection. Didn’t work though as the school got RI. Still in RI. I no longer work there.

this morning. Crazy to think that I’ve made it to the final week of my course, and Friday I will be awarded QTS! 😳
It all seems a bit surreal. 😅
In the past 24 hours I have gained so many new followers! If I haven’t followed you back yet, I promise I will! I’ve hit my follow limit apparently. 😂 Once again, thanks for the support. 💙
@ASBOTeacher
In my Y10 BTEC Sport lesson, one of my female students was applying foundation mid-lesson.
Me: ‘That’s funny, I thought this was BTEC Sport not BTEC Hair and Beauty.’
Student: ‘If it was Hair and Beauty sir you certainly wouldn’t be teaching it.’ 🤕

I have not claimed to be an expert on qualitative research, you've typed that because it matches your agenda! Take the time to carry out research and you'll find what I did. 😁

Got my final visiting tutor observation today and I must say I’m ready to smash it!🤞🏻
Crazy to think this time next month my course will be coming to an end (23/06) and I’ll finally have QTS! It’s flown by!
To say thank you to my main placement for being an amazing host this year, I am hosting a special “chomp and chat” in the staff room at lunchtime. Boot full of goodies ready!
Hopefully they like my wife variety of snacks, and I’m hoping I’m the reason someone smiles today. 😁

I protected my tweets because I received some vile abuse and my phone wouldn’t stop going off! Having seen the nice messages I decided to stop protecting so I could reply!
I’m teaching my first GCSE PE theory lesson tomorrow to year 10 (structure of the heart). I have applied the finishing touches to my PowerPoint and it’s ready to go (I think). Nervous is an understatement. Fingers crossed it will be ok. 😅🤞🏻
Good morning
#teacher5oclockclub
The sun is shining, the weather is looking good all day and I’m outside for 3 hours teaching 2 rounders and 1 softball lesson.
Perks of being a PE teacher. ☀️😎👍🏻
Hope you all have a good day! 💪🏻
Love applying for jobs but at the same time hate it because each school has a different application form. 😭
WHY CAN’T THERE BE ONE STANDARD APPLICATION FORM FOR TEACHER JOBS!!! 😂
I have just finished packing my bag ready for the start of my SCITT tomorrow (Inset day).
Why do I feel like an 11-year-old the night before they start secondary school?
@FreddieScovell
@Lord_Sugar
The only thing poppycock is what that dinosaur thinks about people who work from home. I do not doubt that a small majority probably are less productive, but research has shown more people work longer hours and get more work done, as they don’t waste time commuting, etc.
Good morning
#teacher5oclockclub
Made it to Friday - my favourite day of the week… 😂
Woken up in a positive mood despite not getting the job yesterday - lots of positive/useful feedback from the head who called and explained. Also gave good advice.
Onto the next one. 🙂👍🏻🤞🏻
Good morning
#teacher5oclockclub
. After 2 weeks of recharging the batteries after the conclusion of ITT, today I have staff induction day at my new school. Excited to meet my colleagues!
Hope you all have a lovely day and week! 😁
Morning run along the beach in Spain. After not running for over a month due to life taking over, I was pleased to run 5k in just under 30 mins!

Dear

,
I’d appreciate it if you would not send me an email titled “back to school essentials” on the first day of half term.
Kind regards,
All school staff x
Good morning
#teacher5oclockclub
Had a restful week off, batteries are fully recharged and I’m now ready to go for another 7 and a half weeks! 💪🏼
If you’re also back today, I hope it’s a good one!
If you’re just starting your half term now then 🖕🏼😂
About to set off to my main placement school for the final time as my course comes to an end tomorrow.
Going to miss the school, staff and students, but I’ll always hold the school close to my heart - it really has been a wonderful school to train in.
Have a great day all!
It’s dawned on me that it is now autumn. It worries me knowing there will now be people who simply cannot afford to put their heating on as the weather gets cold… and struggle to afford a food shop… and struggle with everything else…😔 Surely this cannot go on?
Gov: “Nurses need to consider the impact striking will have on the public”
Do the gov consider the impact poor wages for skilled jobs have on the general public? No they don’t. 🤡’s.
Power to the nurses. 💪🏻
Power to the unions. 💪🏻
Good morning
#teacher5oclockclub
Not been active much recently, been enjoying life away from social media 😊
Looking forward to my day - 4 lessons followed by an away football fixture. For me fixtures are the best part about being a PE teacher 😜
Hope you all have a great day!
Good morning
#teacher5oclockclub
Woken up this morning with a thumping migraine and feel like I’ve been run over by a bus! (Typical at the start of term 😅) but it’ll take more than that to stop me getting up!
Nice relaxed day today (thank god) hope you all have a great day!
Taught my Y7s for the final time today at my main placement and at the end of the lesson they gave me a round of applause, three cheers and thanked me for being their favourite teacher and asked me if I had to go or could I stay…
Clearly doing something right! 😉
Weekly weigh-in complete; 2.2kg lost! (Target is 1kg a week). Very happy with my results. Getting closer and closer to my target weight; got to remain disciplined. 👊🏻💪🏻 Happy Monday everyone!!
Good morning

Half-marathon training begins today and I’ve just completed the first run (including 3x 30 second sprints).

. After having to wear smart clothing for the last 4 working days due to my transition placement and professional studies, I am grateful to be back in normal PE clothing today. 😂
Today was the first time this academic year I sat down after a lesson and asked myself whether teaching was for me.
I hope this is temporary. Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow feeling different.
It’s been a long day.
Finished my 25 minute lesson plans for my interview tomorrow (got to teach Badminton and Football). I think I'm happy with them, however, I can't help but overthink them... Does anyone else get like this before interviews for a job you want? 😂
My time in Spain has come to an end. It was an amazing holiday and I certainly needed it after the chaotic year I’ve had!
Back to reality now though - an extended summer hols before I kick off my ECT career in September.
Excited to see what the future holds! 👊🏻
Had to cover a Y8 English lesson today. We had to read chapter 3 of the book “Of Mice and Men” and the look on their faces when I read out the word “bastard” was priceless. 😂
Had my visiting tutor observe me today for my first progress check. Smashed it out of the park 🎉 I am so happy, especially as I was stressing about it over the weekend, turns out I had nothing to worry about. 😂
