@adamboxer1 I want my students to succeed but not on those terms

I'm all up for extra revision sessions if staff want a bit of extra dollar but they should be 100% optional for students in my opinion. I certainly wouldn't give punishments for students who don't go to school on Saturday.

Hi @tombennett71 . Looking forward to your new book Running the School. I've got a copy pre-ordered. I'm attending a meeting about whole culture and behaviour Wednesday and want to go in prepared. Can you point me to any materials I can access now? I've got your first book!

Looks like many people's take on the by-election have forgotten the Corbyn era.

As the annual Year 6 Open Evening draws in, what's everyone's approach in History departments? The idea of 'playing the game' has always made me uncomfortable. But providing students with authentic encounter with the subject may put us at a disadvantage compared with elsewhere.

@Mr_Raichura I would love to know what brand of standing desk converter (if you know) you use in the Step lab documentary. Would you mind sharing?

@TharriesYT I hear it's based on the same book

So not only is this show filmed in the same place as the movies and has near identical costumes to the movies but it’s also reusing cast members from the movies? Genuinely what’s the point of this?

Proud of yesterday's results. They represent a step in the right direction towards securing brilliant outcomes for our lovely students. All the best class of 2025!

@ToonMouthTyne Dude relax. He just wanted to move on in his career and went about it badly.

@DailyAFC @David_Ornstein Headline: Arsenal follow financial fair play rules

🚨 @David_Ornstein: “Arsenal have a lot of PSR headroom, so they could do more - but they’re tight on the UEFA Finacial Fair Play rules.” ❌💰

@Counsell_C So good! Already reflecting on how we can remove individual lesson questions and put more trust in the overarching enquiry question. Small change but huge impact.

This was an excellent free webinar. Really helpful to teachers and leaders wondering how to ensure lessons integrate rich extended text rather than bolting it on. You can still sign up to receive it. #ChangingHistoriesKS3

@MartinSLewis 60% of our wages goes in to a joint account each month as I earn more and splitting bills 50:50 wasn't fair.

TELL US: If ur part of a couple, how do u manage the finances? Does one do it all for both? Do u have a joint account (for everything or just bills)? Do u do regular budgeting meetings. How does it work, & do u feel it works well. Pls reply & some'll be read out in my pod. And do like ur faves.

@implausibleblog Like becoming Prime Minister without winning a general election?

Liz Truss, "Even if you had an utter genius as Prime Minister who was wise in every possible way with a brilliant cabinet, they're not going to be able to deliver with the current system we have" "The whole thing needs to be ripped up" Is Liz Truss calling for a revolution?

@richkbristol I did 8 weeks leave at the start of the academic year. It was a tough return but the time I had with my daughter was utterly magical. Life long gain in those weeks.

@missrogers1793 Strong centralised resources reducing burden on planning, strong centralised behaviour systems, feedback policy shaped by 'No More Marking', leadership that notices the small things and provides bespoke support for staff that need it.

I’m intrigued to know what your school does to support wellbeing and boost the morale of staff. If you could take the time to respond that would be fabulous! 😊

@DrFrancisYoung Do many rich details. I'm looking forward to writing my pilgrims journey to the shrine. Thank you for sharing

@GWSHAW1 This is from p. 182 of my book on the Abbey. There's no one description, so this is cobbled together from details taken from Jocelin's Chronicle, the account of the 1465 fire, and the reports of the commissioners in 1536

@DrFrancisYoung I'm planning some lessons on Medieval BSE and would love to source a detailed description of the shrine of St Edmund. Any ideas where I might find one?
