Mr Allington 🎓🙋🏼‍♂️
I can’t quite believe that I’m saying these words, but this is the face of a very tired, slightly delirious, but utterly elated, Deputy Headteacher who had just been appointed the substantive Headteacher of my lovely, lovely school. 1/7

Big fan of a modelled infographic. There is a lot for students to grasp with the 1559 Religious Settlement and this format allowed for me to lead students visually stage by stage: 1. Components of the settlement 2. Public reaction 3. Compromises #historyteacher 1/3

We wonder why people don’t want to become teachers… Poor pupil behaviour Workload Pay Ever increasing expectations that go way beyond our core purpose - to educate Loud voices who don’t do the job are taken as expert over those that do To name a few issues

Bonds of Blood and Duty by Jen A Egerton is my first foray into Romantasy. A fully realised fantasy world, but at the heart a tale of what a mother will do for their child and the folly of doubting her resolution.

The Trees by Percival Everett. Incredible study of the racial legacy that America has wrought for itself. This book is very funny, very shocking and very scary.

All Consuming by Ruby Tandoh was such a fascinating insight into the impact of our evolving food culture on what we eat and why we eat it. So wry that I often felt I wasn’t cool enough to be reading it!

And… now they are Four! Cannot believe how fortunate we have been to see these two miracles develop into wonderful, kind and thoughtful children. Constantly reminded of the luck we’ve had to raise them in a time of peace, when so many have not been for the last 4 years.

Don’t take our word for it. This is what teachers wrote last year. ✏️ “Absolutely fantastic.” ✏️ “Loads of inspirational speakers.” ✏️ “Such valuable opportunity.” Teachers giving up their time don’t say that lightly. Join us at #TTRConnect ttradio.org/connect2026

So let’s stop the games. If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let’s have it—in public. You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there.
