Genuinely hadn’t realised how much this year had taken out of me. Increased workload, increased accountability pressures, budgets, staffing (or lack of it).
Love my job! Love our school. But having a week breathing out has made me realise that I need to take more care of me.

It’ll be six months before everything has totally settled but if you see me out and about and looking a little different, it’s because I’m finally almost fixed after 8 months of really horrid recovery.
Hooray to cast off day!!!

🧵Today was ‘cast off’ day!
It’s been 8 horrid months since my accident, during which time I’ve had multiple dental procedures & surgery to try & correct the damage from the fall where I ended up losing teeth, damaging my jaw,nose & mouth as well as

Schools do not have enough staff to make SEND reforms work, union warns bbc.in/3O4QJc4

@NormanSufrin @bphillipsonMP @JoshMacAlister This may actually save money. Sadly, agencies charge a fortune for agency social workers. So employing directly and also hopefully improve quality as LA’s invest in them with training and oversight.
English
@bphillipsonMP @JoshMacAlister More public sector workers means more public sector money to pay their wages. That leads to more borrowing.
When will you realise that government spending is out of control
English
The number of child and family social workers in post has reached a record high, seeing the biggest drops in agency use, vacancies and turnover rates on record.
@JoshMacAlister is right – we're moving in the right direction 📈

My friend Spencer, like all of us here, has just been hit by @reformparty_uk’s @WestNorthants Council Tax increases despite @Nigel_Farage’s promises not too! 😔
This isn’t sustainable.

I firmly believe that living in the #UK is becoming unsustainable for many. It’s a bankrupt country. There are too-few people to haul the heavy locomotive and quite frankly I’m fed up of being one of those people. Something has got to change. #CouncilTax #Tax

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

I’m not a statistician. However, there will, by the very nature of averages, always be some schools with outcomes below average….

@Wendell7272 @abidh247 @bmay Nor can you try and gaslight people. Local candidates referring to cutting council wastage to cut taxes in a local election, by inference is council tax!!! 🤦🏼♂️
English
@abidh247 @covrules @bmay Er, not sure what you’re banging on about here. No one has in any way alleged that reform councillors are anything but Reform councillors. Not once have any of them said they will reduce council tax! You can’t just make up things & put words in peoples mouths when it suits you.
English
Nigel Farage says Reform never promised to cut taxes so here is a series of clips of him definitely not promising to cut taxes.
English
@Wendell7272 @bmay What part of “reduce council waste to cut your taxes” isn’t referring to council/local? Cutting council waste isn’t going to help reduce national taxation. Stop trying to gaslight
English
@Wendell7272 @bmay This was the local candidate for a local election - when they refer to cutting council waste to help cut taxes - which taxes are they referring to then?!?!

@hewantswealth So make your own breakfast, lunch and coffee - save yourself £21.80 per day!

@SkyNews @BethRigby Here are leaflets from west Northants council elections in 2025. They pledge to cut waste and taxes. They’ve just voted to increase our council tax by 4.95%, increased green waste collection charges, scrapped 2 hrs of free parking (including for disabled drivers).
English
Sky's @BethRigby asks Nigel Farage about Reform UK pledging to cut council tax at local level, as well as his party's "inconsistent position" on the Iran war.

@covrules @SwailesRuth @rob_kelsall We raised concerns during the inspection and I also had a follow up call with a senior HMI pre-draft. We decided not to complain formally but challenged aspects in factual accuracy. However, the evidence we presented was simply put aside

Our Ofsted report has been published today. Whilst I am incredibly proud of Yew Tree, I am hugely disappointed with the process. Different framework but it’s the same issues as before!
Yew Tree Primary School@YewTreeSandwell
Further to our inspection in January, our report & an accompanying letter is available on our website: yewtreeprimary.co.uk/inspection-rep… As Ofsted has changed how they grade schools, which is not comparable to the previous framework, please watch this video: youtube.com/watch?v=kbl0Fv…

@JamieGBarry @SwailesRuth @rob_kelsall Have you raised a concern Jamie? You should have been given a telephone number to ring?
English
@SwailesRuth @rob_kelsall Thanks. It wouldn’t be so bad if it was fair. However, as an example, we were told attendance and behaviour couldn’t be strong as attendance wasn’t above national. When I pointed out that it was, and actually has been for the past three consecutive years, that was ignored.

‘Like’ if you would like King Charles’s proposed visit to USA to be postponed.
‘Repost’ if you would like it to be cancelled until the USA has rid itself of the demented orange warmonger.

As Europeans, we often argue with our British friends, and we will keep doing so.
But one thing is certain: we recognize, and will always recognize, the strength and dignity of the UK.
Criticism comes easily when a country refuses to act like a vassal.
Respect to Britain 🇬🇧🇪🇺

@MrDavidScales @WorldBookDayUK And not a costume or mufti dress code in sight! 👍🏻

This is what @WorldBookDayUK is all about, reading. Every child was given a book with a message from the teacher who bought it for them. At break and lunch children were reading them. More children will be reading today as a result.
