💙Secret Special School Head

@DeputyGrocott The only good thing is the bottom-less drinks. The food is disgusting!

Heading to Wetherspoons for a cheap and cheerful breakfast tomorrow. Never had a breakfast there. Ok for a cheap one?

Tomorrow's Independent front page revealing Brexit’s true catastrophic cost - five years after the UK left the EU. This is the price of populists dictating government policy. And it will only get worse if Farage ever gets near 10 Downing St. Reject Reform UK's barefaced lies.

@SecretSpecialHT ❤

@RetirementTales I have loved your tweets over the last few years. I will miss you @RetirementTales . Take care. ❤️

23/23 We've been Geoff and Margaret. This has been Retirement Tales. It's been truly wonderful to have been gifted this time with you. Thank you for your company, and God bless you all.❤ G and M, Rutland Answering The Call: 31/12/21 - 31/12/24

A final thread from Geoff and Margaret: Retirement Tales was born on this date three years ago. As we all headed into 2022, I wanted to share the adventures that Margaret and I were about to have, as we answered The Call and returned to the classroom. 1/

Not a big fan of resolutions but I must say I like a lot of these 👇

Just collected my son from university. Spent the last 15 mins listening to Driving Home for Christmas on repeat. 🥰

#SPOTY not on a Sunday night. What is this world coming to? 🤨

@poppygibsonuk I love O come all ye faithful, which is why I voted for it, but 'O Holy Night' is even better. Listen to a good version at high volume. Goose bumps!

Most stirring Christmas Carol?…..

I was treated to a performance of The Tempest at school today. It is fantastic to see pupils of all abilities and needs embracing Shakespeare. 🤩

@training81727 Yes please.

@training81727 Love this idea. You must tell me about it. 😀

Great news. SEND: Phillipson announces plans to boost inclusion in mainstream tes.com/magazine/news/…

Do you think we could persuade the Americans to swap the colour of their two main political parties so that they align with ours? It would make it much easier to remember political allegiances! 🤔

@BAMEedNetwork have just released details about their first conference in a couple of years - our strategic aim this year is SEND. So that’s our theme! Check out the details/tickets here! eventbrite.co.uk/e/subnormal-to… Share&RT!

@RealDMitchell @BBCOne Thoroughly enjoyed it. I am hopeful for a second series. 🙂

It's the last episode in the current series of #Ludwig tonight! (@BBCOne 9pm.) Thanks so much for all the nice comments - I'm thrilled that so many people have enjoyed the show.

@cgkedu I got rid of my folder recently after about 30 years of teaching. You are right. I probably hadn't looked at the folder for 30 years!

I had scones with blueberries in for the first time today. Taste sensation! 😋

We need trauma informed care & trauma responsive education. If we embedded these practices into our educational settings, it would help us understand our young people's behaviours better to help create transformation, hope & healing.🧠🌱

@training81727 I've been toying with this approach recently. I wonder if giving them to candidates an hour before interview but no notes allowed for interview, might provide a happy balance. 🤔

@training81727 Great idea. Good to get the balance of prepared responses and those that have to be thought about more quickly. 🙂
