I have two copies of Responsive Coaching to give away. Simply **retweet this tweet** for your chance to win one of them. I'll pick two winners on Monday (23/09/24).

@ashleigh_pain Thanks so much for sharing this. Really helpful.

I am pleased to be able to attach the safeguarding self-audit. If you would like examples of evidence that could be used, please let me know. I am looking to compile these over the next few weeks. Hope it helps. schoolcompliancesupport.co.uk/safeguardingau…

@teachals This is great Amy. Thank you for sharing.

In the canteen, we display a rolling PPT: things that have happened in school, club timetables, news, weather etc. Great for culture! We also show things to prompt convos - dingbats, jokes, facts... I'm sharing the first 50 days here in case they are of use to anyone else! tinyurl.com/canteenICS

@ashleigh_pain Yes please Ashleigh. This would be very helpful.

My 2024-2025 Update, Safeguarding Self-Audit document is released next week. A comprehensive 28-section audit, that covers all areas within KCSIE. Every section can be RAG rated and comes with full desirable criteria. Please let me know if you would like a copy.

@MrEFinch Another vote for Bridgewater. I made the terrible mistake of taking a caravan in there once. Not good! 🫣

What is the worst service station in the UK? Shortlisting sixteen for tomorrow's all important World Cup of Worst Service Stations. I have my opinions but would like to hear yours before I set it up. #WorldCupOfWorstServiceStations

@SwailesRuth 100% get the camper van Ruth!! Nice place to look for ideas just off junction 29. I have been there when I’ve gone back to visit mum 😀 You will love it!

Spent last night camping in a slightly damp field at my first ever bike rally. Great fun but now I am seriously thinking about getting a camper van. Someone talk some sense into me.

@vejjordan You and Liz are the dream team!! X

@banfield_s Thank you. As you know, the real success of a residential is down to a having an amazing team. Brilliant coach drivers, group leaders and admins in school are crucial. If the unstoppable Liz wasn’t cheering me on, I don’t think we would have got to France this year!

It’s always an honour to take children to Normandy. After 20 yrs of doing this, this will be the most memorable visit! Meeting the British veteran Cecil Newton who inspired Andrew Lloyd Webers’ piece for D Day 80,🧵

There’s something about going ‘home’. Peak District walk up and along from Mam Tor today. Sun, rain and cloud - just as I remember it!😊

@Michael_S_Green Thanks Michael. Hope things are good with you.

Colleagues have asked me what the main changes are with KCSIE Sept 2024. Below is a screenshot of the changes. Hopefully this is useful. #KCSIE #safeguarding #edutwitter #ukeduchat #teachertwitter

@solihullHM Thanks Charles. I would love to go for another day if it’s possible. Don’t need time to fall in love with it though. Already there! It’s a special place.

Going to visit my new school this week where I will be the new head from September. Any existing heads - what are the questions you wished you could have asked before you started your headship? One day doesn’t seem enough but very excited!

@faye_lou88 Of course Faye! X

@banfield_s I feel left out! Can I visit too!

@collier38a Hey! Thank you so much. I’m very excited and can’t wait for September. Hope all is good with you and your family lovely xx

@banfield_s This amazing news Sally! So pleased for you my lovely 🥰

@Scarlett2030 Anything to help with names. Quite a few staff so this could really help. Thank you 🙏

@banfield_s I asked everyone to write a bit about themselves with a pic (a4). Helped me learn all their names and what they likes/ were interested in made it into a little book. Advise going this- your staff are your class now

@_Emily_Hicks @RaeSnape It’s a special school with both. Will definitely take a look at this book. Many thanks 🙏

@banfield_s I don't know if you are primary or secondary but I will be a new primary HT in September and have found @RaeSnape book really useful for how to get the most out of the handover period.

@MrEFinch You can absolutely come and visit! Story and a campfire sound fantastic Ed

@banfield_s So exciting!!! Can I come and visit? I'll do you a storytelling round the fire event if you'd like that.

@jenhawk6248 Thank you!

@banfield_s Congratulations 🎉👏

@JackieS_B Good luck 🤞

Had the call. Just home from school. See you on the other side. 5 deep dives! 😱🙈👍
