Deputy Principal & PE teacher. Passionate about education & schools becoming the heartbeat of the community. Love my job 🙌🏻
Here is the montage BBC Sport aired at the end of their Olympics coverage.
It appears that British schools are spending a lot of time controlling exactly which black shoes teenagers are allowed to wear, and their parents are frustrated about it. This is effectively control of their parents, since they are buying the shoes and many are told at short notice that the shoes they have bought are not acceptable. I've now been sent several school shoe policies with multiple pictures of slightly different black shoes, some of which are acceptable and some of which are not. Parents tell me that they are threatened with isolation or the child being sent home if their shoes are wrong. Can anyone explain to me how this helps children learn and how it supports struggling families to get their children into school?
Grateful to @KhpaPrincipal and Sarah for giving up their time and expertise to lead me through my @Ambition_Inst #NPQH - such a fantastic flexible working approach perfect to support busy leaders and new mamas! I feel equipped and prepared, so thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Congratulations to this @SGS_PE student. She was awarded the Bailey Drew memorial trophy in recognition of her achievements; representing @SchoolsFootball in international fixtures against other countries and for being our first female DRET All Star footballer. Well done🏆
