If Ofsted are going to investigate schools for imaginary things, they should definitely visit the school I went to - someone fell off their chair because they were rocking on two legs and split their head open
My 5yo son wanted his nails painted. He’s very proud of them. 💅
We’re at football practice and another boy has teased him, “that’s what girls do”. 🤬
We’re going to paint mine this afternoon.
We're asking former teachers to temporarily return to the classroom so children can continue to benefit from face-to-face education during the pandemic.
It could be for as little as a day a week next term.
You can find out how to sign up here:
Older, more wrinkles, more greys, less hair. Another year teaching done.
Starting the summer holidays the way I will the next six weeks. Spent the morning out on the paddleboard.
If you need me, I’ll be at the beach 🌊
I separated them for fighting and they’ve built a blanket bridge between their rooms to read books to each other… and now I can’t be cross with them 🥰🤦🏻♂️
The Education Secretary will tell school leaders at a conference today, that it's time to clamp down on persistent pupil absences.
It's expected Gillian Keegan will push for electronic registration in secondary schools.
I dislike 100% attendance targets. Aside from its failure to accept that life happens.
It is impossible to repair.
Have toothache on the first day of term, and work your socks off the rest of the year, you still can’t recover it.
For me, that is not a message I want to give
Is this where politics has been broken?
Johnny Mercer seeming to suggest you can’t be lying if it’s about the future…
…because it hasn’t happened yet.

Does anyone else remember teachers having an “Ofsted lesson” in a cupboard ready… an “Outstanding” lesson… out of sequence?
People kept sharpened pencils and resources printed on coloured paper. In a cupboard
If Ofsted didn’t come, they didn’t use it. An “Outstanding” lesson?
I’m a big fan of an inspirational teacher quote. But you’re not going to change lives by wrecking yours… if you have holiday time left, try and find time to enjoy it
Nothing says tired like a dad drinking coffee at a soft play on a rainy day…
It’s effectively a cage we all agree it’s okay to put our kids in so we can have a break
I moved schools in September
At the school I left, they had never heard of a guillotine
At my new school, no one has heard it called a strimmer
My year’s reflection on education is that we’re either all talking about different things or calling the same things different names
I’ll be interested to now hear everyone’s opinions on whether this 60-year-old’s school had a strict uniform policy or preferred a restorative approach…

One has his pants on his head. The other is hitting people with a wrapping paper tube. They’re both insisting on watching tele from 5cm away.
🎄🎶It’s the most wonderful time…🎶🎄
My dog was chuffed that she found a plastic pigeon washed up on the beach. The other dog walkers were less impressed with us 🤷🏻♂️😂

I had a mum complain I’d taught her daughter History wrong as she thought Henry VIII was called that because he had eight wives 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
