@Ria1984 This year I have just said non uniform, wear your own clothes, dress as a word, dress as a character it's up to the children/ parents

As always schools for #worldbookday please encourage pyjamas and bringing favourite books. Costumes are expensive and often end up in landfill. The stats on how many children don’t have books in their homes are rather sad. Let’s not have parents waste money. #booksnotcostumes

@grahamandre Definitely 😊

@janethistle Thanks for joining in Jane, see you next year? #FebMusicChallenge26

It is the last day of #FebMusicChallenge26 so we are going #retro with our choices and we are going big. Thanks as always for joining in, it is the ten year anniversary next year. Little did I know it would last that long.

I have been pondering todays #FebMusicChallenge26 all night and I think some of you may as well.

@smithsmm @BarlowCaroline I was talking to a colleague about this exact thing today!

Wrote this with @BarlowCaroline a few of years ago. The challenges around inclusion haven’t changed, schools that are inclusive are still punished both financially and in terms of accountability measures. The big challenge of inclusion is one of culture. schoolsweek.co.uk/send-inclusion…

@grahamandre White Noise share.google/PmSRFXiGGHCMh2… This reminds me of our first family holiday abroad....my 5 year old asking the DJ for it 🤣White Noise share.google/PmSRFXiGGHCMh2…

Our #FebMusicChallenge26 them today is all about the young people, full details on the graphic. For the younger people that take part you could choose younger siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews etc. My own choice below.

@llewelyn20 We still do this in our Local Authority. The advisory team carefully match mentors - it's brilliant. It's tricky to build up networks - I have found it more challenging in my second headship .

When I first became a Head, I wanted someone to call about stupid little things. Also, someone completely objective and nonjudgmental to visit my school and tell me what they saw. No agenda, no personal bias, but helpful suggestions. I'm thinking of starting something like this.

@grahamandre I saw them at a Capital radio gig..with lots of other bands. I had to get the train down to the big smoke with a friend and her dad x

@janethistle Yes! How could I forget this one. I saw Bros at Wembley in the late 80s Bros into Summer.

It is #NationalChipWeek so today for #FebMusicChallenge26 we want your songs linked to food and drink. My own choice below.
