@AdamBPrimary Good luck! 🫡😮‍💨

Schools function on a lot of ‘good will’ from staff. Offering to do things like staying late, organising things last minute, going on trips. When staff are exhausted or start putting boundaries in place because they’re burning out it’s quite a shock for some people.

Had a fantastic half-term break and completely switched off. Feeling relaxed and refreshed as we head into the infamously busy AU2! Hope everyone has a great day! ✨

📢 Calling all teacher trainees and ECTs in London⬇️ A free NEU welcome & networking event for all ECTs & trainees working & studying in London Region. 📅 Wednesday 18th October - 6pm 📍@NEUnion Headquarters ✍️ Register here 👉 eventbrite.com/e/neu-london-r… *Open to non-members.

Happy (almost) half-term break! Have 3 candidates to interview for a teaching post this morning - all strong applications so here’s hoping three strong lesson observations also. ✨

There’s something incredibly frustrating about parents not showing up for Parent Teacher evening. The time and effort to prepare for these is quite hefty for it to just be skipped over.

You’ll be doing a better job than you give yourself credit for. Almost certainly. Give yourself a break.

@MrMcofficial86 Love this! 🙌

Teachers, TAs and everyone who works with children…... you are amazing!

@PastoralThings I try and go to a few different extra-curricular things each week to see the children and have a look at what they’re up to. They’re always super excited to show me what’s happening and what they’ve done! Makes my day. ☺️

@AdamBPrimary In a similar boat! Tossing up between NPQSL and CTeach but haven’t found a clear answer.

Parent Information Coffee Morning, followed by School Football Day and ending with Parent Teacher Evening. Ex. Hau. Sted.

A busy Tuesday today as we have Year 2s from both our Pre-Prep sites up for a taster morning, trying out the specialist lessons we offer at Prep!

Students work harder for teachers they respect and feel like care about them. Relationships before rigor.

Teachers don't leave because it's hard. Teachers are some of the hardest working professionals I know. They leave because the expectations and demands become more unrealistic every year.

Being sat in a room while someone delivers a PowerPoint presentation to you, is NOT training. If there isn't any participation, practice and assessment of knowledge obtained, it is, at most, an hour-long listening session. Sometimes "listening" is an overstatement! #EduTwitter

On today’s episode of odd things I had to do: explaining to a parent how school shoes are different from a pair of trainers.

Had a fantastic time at the #RoyalParksHalf today and timed better than I thought I would! ✨ @WeAreERC

I think this week has been my favourite of the year so far. Genuinely loving teaching my class this year and been able to have some very important but necessary conversations with staff about improvement needs. Things are coming up sunshine! ✨

@MissBPrimary3 There’s quite cheap flights to the Spanish islands at the moment. Or else you can strike lucky with a deal for southern Italy sometimes! ✨

Travel experts out there…does anyone have any good ideas for a cheap October half-term break in the sunshine, please? 🙏🏻🌎🌞
