Shout out to all the teachers who have done NOTHING school related this summer holiday. Our displays might be non-existent and our planning lacking, but we’re still good teachers 😎👍 Don’t let twitter convince you that everyone is working through their summer. #justdoyou

If anyone happens to stumble across my account and wonders what happened to me… I’m a headteacher who has been teaching Year 6 for 75% of the week since January.

@MissKhan__ 0.5 form entry too

@MissKhan__ Leadership in my experience

Are assistant heads generally paid on the leadership scale or upper scale with potentially added TLRs?

Well, that was quite frankly the toughest first week of school I’ve ever had to endure. #utterlydrained

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate in September 🎄🎅

I found out this week that I’ve worn black converse to work so consistently for the last three years that the children refer to them as ‘the teacher shoes’. 😅

@twinklresources Would bin them all. A dark chocolate choc ice on the other hand… 😍

You can only keep one. Which are you choosing?

@Missy_E39 @_MissieBee Came here to say exactly this!

@_MissieBee You can’t go wrong with a bottle of Marc Jacobs - Superdrug have some brilliant offers on at the moment.

It’s my future-SIL’s 30th this month and she wants perfume. She likes “fruity, floral, vanilla” scents. Is it possible to get something decent for ~£40?! I don’t want something obviously cheap but equally cannot afford much more than that! Recommendations please! 🍒🌸🍦

@twinklresources @bphillipsonMP At home and a full day every fortnight… Would be better if 20% PPA was a thing, although it’d stretch school budgets to breaking point 😬

@bphillipsonMP announced yesterday that as well as a 5.5% pay increase for teachers, they: "Will also clarify the position on PPA time so schools are clear that teachers can use this time at home to provide greater flexibility for teachers" What is your preference for PPA time?

@jobrassington this is my new favourite tweet ⭐️

What’s your favourite class story to read to Year 3/4?

@MrBoothY6 Congratulations 😊🎉

Very pleased and proud that in September I will be taking on the role of assistant head at my lovely school. After a decade of teaching it definitely feels the right time for a new challenge, and I will still be class-based teaching a brilliant Year 6 class. Exciting times.

Yesterday was the last day of the academic year as next week’s inset days were disaggregated into twilight sessions earlier in the year. 🎉🎉🎉

@QTMissL I think I’ll end up going private, but I’m trying to dig my heels in!!

Just a little promotion for September 😊

@QTMissL Unfortunately it’s now been classed as an ‘auto-immune issue’ which basically means ‘we don’t know what’s wrong with you so here’s a vague label’. 👎

@QTMissL My doctor told me he’d run out of ideas and suggested the sun might cure me. 🤷‍♀️

@elchappo1982 @chrisdysonHT @secretHT1 @PaulGarvey4 @Headteacherchat @Strickomaster 0.5 form here. 4 teachers 😊

I’m heading on secondment as Headteacher to a tiny primary school in September. Any SLT from small schools willing to connect & help a fellow educator out? @chrisdysonHT @secretHT1 @PaulGarvey4 @Headteacherchat @Strickomaster Your reach & retweet would be greatly appreciated.

Just some Coldplay fans queuing for 4 hours outside the Cheese and Grain. #secretgig #frome #wouldqueueagain
