By far the best school I have worked at-highly forward-thinking and supportive. Teachers are given the freedom to teach in a way that best suits their expertise and students' needs. The pupils are outstanding-highly engaged: linkedin.com/posts/bvgs_we-…

@PFarmbrough Depends on the culture of school. I find it awkward, but simply not the culture and context I was used to.

Standing up when the Head enters is mad. One thing which I always notice in high performing schools pupils barely even notice if the Head, SLT or other adults pop in, as it's so normal. Supports staff with behaviour and establishes an open and developmental teaching culture.

AI is just a tool, sometimes it needs sharpening.

@GillianKeegan Maybe spend money on education and not on "trying" to make yourself look good. Tax money should not be used for this. feweek.co.uk/keegan-to-get-….

Last year, school strikes resulted in 25 million school days being lost cumulatively. Children should not have to suffer a repeat of this disruption. I’m announcing that we will introduce minimum service levels in schools so that pupils get the education they need and deserve.

This makes me very angry, how can this be right? Schools are struggling to pay for resources, teachers & building repairs..schoolsweek.co.uk/keegan-to-get-…

@physicstp @DocWhalley I often try to promote that the world needs physics/engineering/maths graduates and that you get paid more, the most common reply from a pupil is, so does that mean you get paid well………?

Great discussion on how the habit to delay gratification can be deeply local to one’s culture. With big implications for behaviour in schools as acquired rather than innate. How Culture Affects the 'Marshmallow Test' - Scientific American scientificamerican.com/article/how-cu…

@ChristineHillCo @tombennett71 In the same way we did before mobile phones, how often is there an emergency? How many times did you need to call home when you were at school? Who's definition emergency, adults or pupils?

Every school should be severely restricting phones throughout the site. Doing this doesn’t ‘drive it underground’- it reduces usage. What I do see are lots of schools with policies they don’t enforce thoroughly enough. With effort, you can make them vanish tes.com/magazine/news/…

Putting my son's knowledge of circle theorems to good use lol, in finding the centre of a circle.

@KingfisherPsych Took a few years, but once we got my son into the correct school for his needs, it made a huge difference. He's still a "challenge" but 1000 times better.

To all those young people with Autism who don't fit into our current school systems. I see you. As a society, we need education provisions that fit the needs of the child, not a child who fits the needs of an education system.

This summer I’ve decided I can’t use being alone as an excuse to not do anything for 6 weeks so I’m going to be doing day trips all summer. Where is your favourite place in the UK? Where would you visit just for a day? I need as many suggestions as possible!

While moving stumbled upon my amazing gift from 10NR Kenilworth school. Wonder what they all went on to study.

@alomshaha Part of the plan for the UK to become a science and tech superpower...

@Hookean1 Took me a few attempts.....

Had a wonderful time in Cambridge university with Isaac physics. What CPD should be! Although I forgot to pick up my reward. @isaacphysics @Cambridge_Uni
