@McDonaldsUK poor form that the only thing I can now eat off the breakfast menu is a hash brown due to everything else containing milk - really not good in this day and age.

@MrBoothY6 Yes! This totally!

Timetabling the Wednesday of SATs day around two papers and any access arrangements.

@MrBoothY6 And that’s before extra time! I’ve read those papers 3 times today!

Year 6 have 2 maths tests on a Wednesday. If one of the tests is 30 minutes and the other is 40 minutes and the marks are out of 40 and 35, then how many glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon does the teacher need to reach greater depth in relaxation? Show your working.

@Headteacherchat I was in the same boat - yes I talked about my impact but also what I was going to do/aim to achieve as DHT - would I was going to do differently

Anonymous post: I have been AHT at my school for a while and DHT post has come up. Given the interview panel know me how might I help my letter and my interview performance stand out? I think I am well thought of but have been in the same role for a while. Many thanks

@MrHtheteacher Reminds me of when I had to use the wet vacuum to suck up the overflowing toilets

@_MissieBee @TeacherTapp I have rewards for most improved attendance

Nearly 60% of schools are still doing this?! Would be interesting to see the primary/secondary split… ⁦@TeacherTapp⁩

@Headteacherchat Yup, this and unreasonable requests

Anon post: Is anyone else noticing a worrying trend of growing disrespect from some parents towards school staff? Last week, I saw members of my incredible team in tears after being unfairly criticised. These teachers go above and beyond every day—they deserve appreciation, not hostility. It’s disheartening.

@Headteacherchat Looking at directed time, it’s recommended teachers to be in ten mins before school starts and 10 mins after. This is what would be in your directed time calendar. Out of this (and any staff meetings) it’s would be down the individual

Anon Post: Teacher Working Hours in Primary Schools In a primary school setting, what is the expected time for teachers to arrive before the children in the morning and to stay after they leave at the end of the day? I’d appreciate any insights or guidelines you can share.

@Headteacherchat Yes.

Anon post: - Is it normal for an DHT in primary school to be leading T & L? - CPD? - Reading? - ECT/ITT? - Data & Assessment?

@steviestallard Good luck!

Ofsted call today - right in the middle of my NPQ assessment window that closes on Friday.

@ICT_MrP I don’t earn that and I’m Deputy!

What? Am I missing something here? A primary school teacher can earn how much?

Morning. #ParalympicsGB | #Paris2024

@johnhalbitting Love this

Too good not to share… Olympic Life Lessons #Olympics2024

@MissAHadley Yes, me too!

@ballater6 Very true, took year 6’s to Norfolk and their faces when they saw the sea was priceless!

School took children to seaside - many had never been to the sea or have been in holiday - initially very shy soon loved the sea and sand with ice creams as a treat - poverty exists -for all those that say they are living the life of Riley on benefits no they are not
