@TeachLeadAAli Disgusting and saddening. Take care Amjad, hope you enjoy your weekend.

I won’t be driven out by the racists and robots on here. We are stronger. Better and more in number. These were some of notifications this morning.

@TeachLeadAAli Yes, I can understand that. Really good to raise awareness through your blog as many (myself included) would have been ignorant of it’s origins.

@maxine_coaching Whilst not intended to be offensive, I find it really verging on offensive.

To all those saying 'never heard of this... spend5minutes searching school newsletters&you will find dozens of parent letters referring2 “mufti day.” Once you include archived PDFs&calendar entries, it is likely that hundreds of UK schools have used the term in parent comms.

@MissChloe_Ward @Mr_SmithLMHS @JPather74 @leamanorschool @ChilternLT Congratulations! Great to see recognition of your resilience and excellence!

Tonight I look back with deep pride. What once felt like inadequacy became resilience, learning & progress. The responsibility felt heavy but year by year, challenge by challenge surrounded by people committed to make change, we grew STRONG! #leamanorproud @JPather74

Alfie is excited to be hiking next month. Check out their @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/Al…

@leamanorschool Congratulations to the team involved, great to see external validation of the excellence you have created. Nobody should underestimate the efforts and skill needed to get you to this point. All the best with the next phase.

Following our recent Ofsted inspection, we are finally able to share that the report and scorecard confirms what we have collectively felt within our corridors: Lea Manor High School is now a beacon of educational excellence. leamanorhighschool.org/Our-School/Ofs…

Starting to feel like Spring might be on its way. A beautiful morning, sounds of the birds singing added to the magic. Have a great Wednesday.

@ChilternLT @AJRAllModCons Happy Birthday Adrian

Happy Birthday @AJRAllModCons 🎉 We had a brilliant breakfast this morning celebrating our CEO🌟 We hope you have a great day 🎂🎈

Definitely a cold one this morning, but a great way to start the day. #wellbeing #coaching

What to do between Christmas and the new year? Swim in a frozen lake (with lifeguards on duty), sound of the ice breaking was magical. #wellbeing

Peace & tranquility on the winter solstice. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I’ll be noticing the days getting longer again, but first enjoying the Christmas break.

@ArdleyHill @AJRAllModCons @lang_romina @JeffoA28 @LorraineHughe20 Congratulations Katie, a great appointment for the school and a super opportunity for you.

Huge congratulations to Katie Waterman for her new appointment! We are so proud to see Katie achieve a wonderful internal promotion, she is a truly excellent leader 👏🌟📚

Happy Friday. Yesterday’s swimming was a cold one!

4 degrees this morning, so definitely the freshest swim so far and a great way to start a Saturday. Beautiful surroundings too. Happy weekend everyone, whatever you’re doing.

@AJRAllModCons @unlock_educate @unleashing_me @TeachLeadAAli @Neil_Mills1 @JeffoA28 @mrRteaching @MoniqueSBerry @Rachiroc @Douggie954 Super pics, so good to notice what’s around us. Lovely Goldie too 😁

Some lovely views on my early morning walks this week.

@RogersHistory I really like this, it’s a good reminder, thanks for sharing.

I’m more and more convinced if you master this, you master life. It’s difficult though, for some more than others!

First single figure swim. Definitely felt the chill at first, but soon started to enjoy the water. Not sure about the other swimmer there today, looks like they might have stayed in for too long.

@MrBoothY6 Congratulations, very well deserved. I hope you have a lovely week off.

That's my last day as Assistant Headteacher done, as I'm pleased and excited to say that after half term I'll be stepping up to Deputy Headteacher. But, for now, bring on a week off!

Happy Half Term to everyone in education. Loving the autumn colours at the moment.

@Darbs87 @TheRealBerghaus 😂

@maxine_coaching @TheRealBerghaus Sorry - I’m even unable to talk like a geographer! 😂you too!

A wet day in the River Chess. I learnt some good Geography knowledge about rivers but I’d prefer a Motte and Bailey any day of the week!
