Wishing the children of Braunstone the best of luck!

@Emma_Turner75 Omg I hope you’re ok x

Thanks for people’s patience to anyone who’s awaiting a response from me. In the last 7 days my car broke down on the motorway in the mega storm;I then got hit by a lorry whilst driving the hire car, then I’ve had triple root canal on my 3 front teeth post this summer’s accident.

Excited to be sharing our innovative #curriculum design in June ‘26. How have @Discoverytrust #schools achieved alignment & reduced #teacherworkload while raising standards, promoting #equity & protecting #teacher agency? Come & find out! @KeynoteEd surl.li/zkmcgp

This term, the launch of our new primary #science curriculum includes developing pupils’ understanding of #solar energy. We learn how solar panels work, complete a drone inspection of the school solar panels & interrogate the data to work out how many appliances we have powered.

Changes include having a member of paediatric-trained staff in the room (not just available) during eating, tightening up on allergies and having more than two emergency numbers for each child. #headteacher #eyfs #edutwitter assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/687105a3…

@MissBPrimary3 Just to add, I also have an online version which is more for meeting links and to make sure diaries align.

@MissBPrimary3 Can’t manage without it! Although I’m very much in the minority. There’s nothing quite like being able to flick through it to find availability and note down when everything will get done.

Does anyone still use a paper diary for work or has everyone moved over to an online calendar? 🤔

@Tom_SEMH @millgate You will be greatly missed. Good luck in your new chapter

Going into the summer holidays saying goodbye to a school I have worked at for 7 unbelievable years was the hardest thing ever. I have loved every minute of it and so blessed to have developed as a teacher and person at the most wonderful school @millgate ❤️🥲

This is so fascinating! Important longitudinal study on Key Stage 2 results and earnings. A MUST READ - Higher KS2 attainment is associated with higher lifetime earnings - Higher scores in Maths impact earnings more than English - Benefits from doing better in KS2 English remain more stable over time for earnings Download here 👉 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6867d497…

The #DfE Writing Framework is out & it looks to be a useful tool for #English leaders. No surprises that transcription and dictation are emphasised, alongside handwriting. There are some useful audits & specific guidance to support left handed pupils, as well as those with #SEN.

🌟 What a night at the @Discoverytrust Pupil & Colleague Awards! From inspirational testimonies of service & achievement, to impromptu performances by our amazing pupils with the band - congratulations to everyone who received a nomination - you are incredible 💙 #ProudToBelong

I took so many practical ideas, top tips and inspiration from yesterday’s #EdTech conference. Thank you to @LGfL, as well as the pupils and teachers from each school who taught live lessons in the incredible XR lab. One day very well spent.

Today was a proud day, hearing from over 700 Young Leaders about how their projects have had a positive impact on their communities. Made even more special by the incredible surroundings of Leicester Cathedral. ‘Be the change you want to see’ @Discoverytrust @LeicesterDbe

School improvement is not about perfection — it’s about progress, courage, and the determination to keep moving forward, even when it’s tough. Over the past few years, I’ve learned that meaningful change in schools doesn’t come from chasing perfection or quick wins. It comes from really honest conversations, consistent reflection, and a relentless focus on what matters most — our children. The path isn’t always smooth. There are tough days, hard truths, and moments when the mountain feels steep. But with the right people around you — those who challenge, support, and never lose sight of the bigger picture — real, lasting improvement happens. #SchoolImprovement #Leadership #EducationMatters #AuthenticLeadership #ProgressNotPerfection
