Congratulations to Keelham Primary School on being recognized as a SMART Exemplary School! 🎉 Their integration of SMART solutions fosters global collaboration- like this live lesson with Delta Waters School in Botswana.🌍 #WeareSMART @ElementaryAV

@Headteacherchat As a governor I'd look for 2024/25 summaries with a focus on summer term. Initial term headwinds, new cohort, staff changes and similar, then 2025/26 school improvement plans. New schemes, top level focus and objectives. I need a feeling and understanding, with access to detail

Anon post: I’ve got governors tomorrow and need to write my headteacher’s report. What should I be including for September? We’re only three weeks into term and I’m unsure what’s expected at this stage. Admittedly, I’ve left it until the last minute — it’s just been such a busy start!

🚀 Exciting news – #ITjustworks is live! 🥳 After over two decades in schools and EdTech, I’m thrilled to start this next chapter with my own independent consultancy: #ITjustworks ✅ This new venture is about what I love most – Making technology simple, secure, and impactful for schools, trusts, and education organisations. Here’s some of the ways I can help: 💻 Digital Strategy – Creating sustainable transformation plans that empower leaders to make confident decisions and ensure alignment with the DfE’s digital and technology standards. 🔒 Cyber Security – From audits to policies to staff training, keeping your systems and data safe. 🤖 AI in Education – Practical advice and hands-on sessions to help educators and leaders embrace AI responsibly. ⚙️ Instructional & Technical Integration – Ensuring IT infrastructure and practice are aligned with educational outcomes. 🎓 EdTech Training – Delivering engaging, practical training for tools such as Google Workspace, Canva, and more. Because when IT just works, leaders and educators can focus on what matters most: improving learning experiences and driving long-term success. 📩 DM me to discuss how I can support your school, trust, or organisation. Here’s to new beginnings and a future where #ITjustworks for everyone! 🙌 #EdTech #DigitalStrategy #CyberSecurity #AIinEducation #Training #DigitalTransformation #Alhamdulillah #ITjustworks

@rosBIGWRITING I thought the same Ros! But it was disappointing 😏. Not a proper hob nob, not nobbly enough. More like an oaty custard cream.

@mreddtech Hobnobs! Not even a moment's thought.

Which with my coffee? Or one of each? Or the whole lot...

I am increasingly concerned about the inaccuracy and / or out-of-date information Google and Chrome are pulling up in the name of AI as 1st answers to searches. We need to teach children (and adults) to check sources and dates.

@Headteacherchat Planning a DIY water feature with my lad 🙌🏻 ✨ Enjoy the Peaks!

How are you spending your Saturday morning? Mine: camping in the Peak District

Jolly kind of you to say so @trinitywalk 😎

✨ There's a good #ForeverLearning vibe in our Experience Centre this week! New starters and 'old timers' learning about everything #education, #technology, and what happens when the two get to know each other 😊. #edtech #edutwitter

Very few teachers understand the potential of the technology at their fingertips... 👇🏼 linkedin.com/pulse/edtech-t…

@ty_goddard @BrightonOpenMkt Aha, I know exactly where the old Woolworths is. Opposite the big old Co-op! 😆

@mreddtech @BrightonOpenMkt Just by Greggs and opposite the old Woolworths !! 😆

The new Open Market #Brighton
