Head At Thirty

@bphillipsonMP primary schools do not need libraries - we’ve already had to turn them in SEND provision! Just give every school more money and let us make our schools better. You clearly do not know or care about what schools really need. #education #Sendcrisis #dfe

@sjmozzawife @Headteacherchat ASHT in my second year and I was unreal… it’s not always experience, it’s the person.

@HTat30 @Headteacherchat But you had 7 years behind you. After 7 years I went into senior leadership. Starting your 2nd year in teaching when you haven’t even led a year group, key phase, or even a subject, isn’t grounds for headship. It’s a poor decision and a cheap one.

Anonymous Post: This September, I’ll be stepping into the role of Assistant Headteacher. As a second-year ECT, it’s a big leap — and I’m feeling both excited and a little nervous. For those who’ve been in this role (or something similar), what are your top tips for making a strong start? Any advice on balancing leadership responsibilities with ongoing professional growth would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance!

@ballater6 @Headteacherchat The problem with education? people like you…🥱

@Headteacherchat What after two years……nothing against the individual, but here in lies one of the problems within teaching

@MrWalmsley Yes! Very pleased. I had seen something on a council bulletin, but I think it was an error. Good news that we will still get it.

@HTat30 No mention of how much, but looks like it's going ahead: #information-primary-pe-and-sports-premium-funding-for-2025-to-2026" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.uk/government/pub…

True? The DfE is confirming that the PE and Sport Premium funding will be increasing by 2.39% for 2025/26 compared to the 2024/25 rates. This funding is provided to schools to improve PE and sport provision, and will be fully rolled into the national funding formula in 2026/27.

@PrimaryCoHead @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Woah. That’s very good of them. I don’t find it likely that our SSP will do that. I thought the same about jobs. I’ve heard it’s going, in order to fun the breakfast clubs 🫠

@HTat30 @educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP Our SSP are being really good & saying if it’s not confirmed they will cancel all provision we book in advance. But will mean lots of ppl will lose their jobs too.

Hi 👋 #edutwitter #education do we have any idea about Sports Premium for 25-26? Do the @educationgovuk not realise many schools are tied into contracts that have a terms notice? We need to know now! Will we have it? Or not? #dfe #headteacher @bphillipsonMP

HAHAHAHA me thinking three years ago that I’d seamlessly nail being a new headteacher and perfecting my Twitter/X presence 😆 #Education #HTchat #headteacher #school #imstillhere #SLT #primaryschool #schoolleaders

@HTat30 @Headteacherchat Where are you situated?

One happy headteacher #teacher #education #HTchat #educhat #ofsted #dfe

Without the holidays, this job simply would not be sustainable. Have a great one all 😃 #Htchat #headteacher

HORRIFIC, HORRENDOUS and completely avoidable. @Ofstednews @educationgovuk If this doesn’t shout that reform is needed, what will? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@7CraigWill @Headteacherchat Thank you. Hampshire, just down the road!

@HTat30 @Headteacherchat Congratulations 👏🏻

This week: Staff ❤️ 😊 Children 😂 🤪 Parents 🤬😡❌🆘‼️ Too much time on their hands!! #education #HTchat #school #edutwitter

Ouch. So many questions. What on earth are they thinking? @MerciaSchool #education #HTchat #neu #staffwellbeing Look at this job on Tes tes.com/jobs/vacancy/a…

I fully support the @NEUnion strike tomorrow. Solidarity to all ✊🏻#NEUStrike #NEU #TeacherStrike

@GillianKeegan This is YOUR fault. Remember that.

I am disappointed the NEU is taking action despite our continued engagement. I’ve written to teacher unions calling on them to ask their members to inform schools if they intend to go on strike (1/3)

Had @Ofstednews earlier this week. Tough, thorough and intense - but also a supportive, accurate and fair 😲 I’ll now need to sleep for a week 😴 #ofsted #edutwitter #education Have a great weekend!
