We made it! And in the face of great adversity. Misled, abandoned and left to face the questions that were not ours to answer. But we pulled together, we re-grouped & we re-built. We’re on the road & we’re on it together. We are a team.

The timing of this tweet is not only insensitive & disrespectful, it is actually offensive. It suggests that Headteachers & schools are liars and that we should just crack on without safe levels of funding. You do the exact opposite of helping me to to make the most of my budget
There is more money going into our
#schools
than ever before and we’re helping schools to manage and make the most of their budgets

3 most annoying things about

1. Static tear-off strips on packing bags that stick to fingers;
2. Parcelforce man rocking up at 11.20am when you’re halfway through a test;
3. 5-minute long instructions which account to, “Right kids, you’ve got 40 minutes - crack on!”

Jeepers, you couldn’t write it. Oh sorry, the Daily Mail could. This is really is not a Teachers Vs Unions battle. We’re all on the same side and want what is best for the children, staff, families and the community. It should be apolitical. It should be focussed on what’s safe.

Child: “Mr Callaghan, have you got a monobrow?”
Me: “I don’t like labels. They’re actually in fashion at the minute.”
Child: “Errr, no they’re not!”
Me: “Okay, I just don’t have time for eyebrow sculpting!”

It’s not just the lies, it’s the insult to our intelligence. It’s using schools as scapegoats. It’s how we can move on from this. If Cummings doesn’t go then surely Johnson has to now. Anger, disappointment and mistrust. They’ll turn the UK into the Wild West.
