Mr B

@Headteacherchat You have to apply to the Office of the Schools' Adjudicator I believe. Your LA can support. gov.uk/government/org…

Can someone point anon in the right direction? Has anyone here updated their PAN for cohorts that are already in place? I’ve had a look online and it seems I’d need to write to the Secretary of State—has anyone actually done this and can share how it went?

The intensity of working in education at the minute is another level. The idea that we can keep cutting back as the level of need continues to increase is pretty unnerving.

@HMRCcustomers Again, sort of useful but more questions. Is it literally a letter I send stating the amount of professional fees for each year? Will that suffice?

@MrBHeadT Detailed information is under the tile 'If you’ve missed the deadline to change your return' and 'What to include' on the link I sent. Amandine

@HMRCcustomers Hello. Where do I include payments to my teacher union in my self assessment please? I can't seem to find the section anywhere. Thanks

@HMRCcustomers Semi helpful. As it's gone past the deadline for these, which forms should I be using? The guidance isn't that clear.

@MrBHeadT You will need to amend the tax return. Please see the following link: gov.uk/self-assessmen…. Amandine

@HMRCcustomers Yes.. it's 20-21, 21-22 and 22-23

@MrBHeadT Were you in self assessment during those tax years? Amandine

@HMRCcustomers Thanks. And if I want to apply this to previous years, how do I go about doing this please?

@MrBHeadT Hi there, on the Employment page, select yes to the question 'Do you wish to claim any employment expenses or capital allowances...?' then go forward and the amount needs to be entered under that section. Amandine

3/3 All I want is one door for assessment info. Instead, I’ve got a keyring of unlabelled keys and a street full of locked houses: baseline, phonics, MTC, KS2 SATs - each with its own portal, helpline and department. It’s not a system, it’s a scavenger hunt I don't want to play.

2/3 Meanwhile, baseline, phonics, MTC, KS2 SATs—each with their own portal, helpline, and mystery department. It’s like a treasure hunt, but the treasure is basic information and the map is on fire. All I needed was 5 minutes. But sure, let’s waste half an hour instead.

1 /3 Yesterday, I spent 25 mins on the phone trying to get a simple answer about tables checking dates. NCA said it was Capita’s problem. Capita said it was DfE’s. DfE said they couldn’t give a date for tables checking data because… they don’t want to miss a deadline. Iconic.

Well, so much for "The Big Listen". The teaching profession had asked and hoped for change. Today, Ofsted has confirmed what many of us had feared. Ofsted hasn't listened. Ofsted hasn't changed. They've had thirty plus years and countless frameworks to get things right...

Yawn...

Looking forward to the spiral of uncertainty this morning. @jpembroke

@AldiUK Afraid it's in the bin as it was smelly.

@MrBHeadT Sorry to hear about this. You can certainly return the packaging back to store along with a copy of your bank statement and our team will be happy to provide a refund for this.

@AldiUK bought these today from your Wokingham store. When I got home and opened them, I saw the grapes were mouldy. Eugh. No receipt as wasn't given one at the checkout. I'm going to put them in the food waste so they don't start smelling. Any suggestions?

Anyone else spot this is the SATs packing guidance? Seriously?! 🙄🤦

@HMRCcustomers And I just post it off? Who can I scan and send a copy to as I can't complete a form online. (Seems a bit old fashioned if you ask me.)

@MrBHeadT There isn't an email, You could print off the relevant page from the paper return if you want a form, otherwise, it's a literal letter. You could use this page , and write amendment on the top gov.uk/government/pub… You'd need to do one for each tax year. Steve

@HMRCcustomers how do I go about claiming professional fees for previous years of I have filled in self assessment forms?

@HMRCcustomers Yes..I saw that but the webpage doesn't actually give an email or contact us form to complete.

@MrBHeadT Hi, If you've already filed self assessment tax returns for those year, you'll have to write in , please see this guidance gov.uk/self-assessmen… Steve

One of the nicest guys in education ... @Doug_Lemov ! Thanks, Doug. #MadeMyChristmas
