@MrColesDrama @TideswellMiss @TheWellsAcademy Amazing!

I am so proud of the journey we’ve been on @TheWellsAcademy! The report marks a moment in our story. Now we move forward with the highest expectations and a relentless focus on improving children’s life chances. Thank you to my amazing colleagues!

@sciantificnew I find books can provide *some* evidence on part of the picture- but those doing the scrutiny have to know exactly what they’re doing. Books are not always good for assessing progress - they can provide info on curriculum content, tasks etc- but progress is not always obvious.

I’ve seen this first hand recently. Some people will die on this hill….well they won’t but the students education will

@tes I am personally in favour of mixed-ability grouping, even in mathematics, but I am also aware that if we insist on mixed-ability grouping in schools with teachers who cannot deal effectively with a wide range of achievement, we are sacrificing students at the altar of our beliefs

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. Hope you are all well 👋

@MrColesDrama Sending strength to you George 🙏

It’s hard to believe it’s been 4 years. Time passes by so quickly! I’m still inspired by my dad’s resilience, stoicism and gentle strength each and every day.

@MrColesDrama @TheWellsAcademy Oh George. I wish I was there with you all! The very best of luck you have so much to share and celebrate. Go smash it! 👊

We got the Ofsted call today! Looking forward to showcasing the fantastic work of our students and staff @TheWellsAcademy over the next few days! #HighExpectations #AmbitiousCurriculum #ExpertTeaching

@bobsloan79 Hi Robert. We are sorry to hear about this, apologies no-one has got back to you sooner. We are extremely busy at the moment & trying to get back to everyone as quickly as possible. Please could you DM us with a ref no & any other details so we can look into this for you.

@Katie_Cronin It’s all a bit of a con though isn’t it. You vote for your local MP rather than anyone in the cabinet. Living in Rutland they better get used to a conservative MP whether they want it or not.

My 14-year-old is so excited to be voting at the next GE. He’s very politically switched on, knows who he’ll be voting for and why (different from who both me and his dad vote for) He’s extremely well-equipped to make a decision. It’s a great move by the government.

Another busy year in education but my out of office is now on!! Enjoy your summer when it arrives ! ☀️

Three years ago I was concerned about the rising cost of residential visits so we decided to set up our own GAT Campsite by the sea! Each year a dedicated team set up the campsite in May and our children across the Trust spend time under the stars! #WeAreGAT #SeasideFun ☀️

So excited!

The big man stays! Can’t wait to watch him lift number 20 🔜🏆

Egypt has not disappointed!! 🇪🇬

@MathsNot Worst content in foundation. Utter nonsense

They’ve taken out exact trig ratios at Foundation tier

I can’t believe little old me managed to raise £780 for Cancer Research Uk by swimming 10km in March. Will leave it open for a few more days. Thank you for your donations fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/roberts-g…

As ever, a really good @GreenwoodAcad Secondary Principals meeting today. Lots of positive contributions and professional respect for each other sprinkled with some banter and laughter to make it a positive end to the week.

@MrColesDrama @TheWellsAcademy The best sort of emails

I received this email from a teacher @TheWellsAcademy this morning and it stopped me in my tracks! I can’t wait to share it in assemblies next week! Integrity in action!

@henrywinter Almost like you were trying to cheer me Up!

Liverpool Football Club are bigger than any player. They have lost elite players before and carried on. Keegan leaves, Dalglish arrives, the trophies continue. When a player leaves, it opens an opportunity for another, either promoted from within or expertly recruited. Liverpool are very good at player development and player recruitment. Conor Bradley is still only 21, and obviously not yet in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s class, especially passing, but he showed his talent against, amongst others, Chelsea in Jan 2021 (one goal, two assists) and against Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe (that tackle). Bradley’s unfazed by occasion or opposition. He invariably steps up whenever stepping in for Alexander-Arnold. Alexander-Arnold is being criticised by some Liverpool fans not only for the decision, barring a late U-turn to join Real this summer, but for the manner of the process behind his exit. The free transfer, the silence. There’s very rarely a smooth, seamless, accepted way to leave a club. Show me the acrimony. Fans feel let down, spurned. But it needs recording and remembering that Alexander-Arnold has played well this season even with all the distraction of Real’s interest. Now 26, he’s given so much to Liverpool over a decade. And he’ll leave, having contributed to Liverpool being champions again. Just as he contributed to their previous title success. To their Champions League success. To their FA Cup and EFL Cup success. Alexander-Arnold has represented his boyhood love with skill, boldness, pride and passion on 349 occasions, scoring 22 times and assisting 86 goals. He's contributed fully. He’s also represented the Club well off the field, committed to local community initiatives. Liverpool are a great club, on the up under Arne Slot, but Alexander-Arnold will be joining the biggest club in the world. The lure of Real Madrid is obvious. Bernabeu, his mate Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Ancelotti, possibly Xabi Alonso next, their need for a younger right-back with Dani Carvajal 33. As Alexander-Arnold gets on with his career at Real, Liverpool will get on with next season - their 134th. A few tears will be shed, a few angry words will be unleashed but life will go on. #LFC
