Join me later this month for a free session ‘Learning environments that don’t cost the earth: First steps towards sustainable learning environments’  This short free taster course is aimed at those who want to explore alternatives to purchasing plastic resources, those who have limited budgets & those who want to gain ideas for challenging play using free, collected and low cost items in their settings and classrooms. kymscottconsultancy.com/academy-page-2…

A band is more than a band. A choir is more than a choir. An orchestra is more than an orchestra. Every music ensemble is more than a music ensemble. Music ensembles are places of belonging and places of sanctuary. Places where you can momentarily escape the world and recharge.

Music is valuable. Studying music at school is valuable. Studying music at university is valuable. Studying music in any way shape or form is valuable. It’s valuable. It builds better people. It builds better communities. It builds a better society. Music is incredibly valuable.

@carbon_cycling I listened to this on radio 4 today James. Very interesting!

Ok that’s it. I know this is from a private group & I know this is not a typical representation & I know no-one wants to be spat at & kicked. But this shows both the level of stress amongst those supporting our most vulnerable children & the need for appropriate training. In order to support in some way I commit to providing some FREE CPD next academic year with my daughter @bloglibby on understanding the autistic experience of education plus a relational approach to supporting wellbeing & self-regulation. Thank you for raising this @PaulaMc007

Just a friendly reminder that although year 6 have done their SATs and can now relax a little, year 2 are just starting ours and we have to mark them ourselves, still get moderated & don't get free breakfasts 🤣😭 be extra nice to your year 2 staff atm.

Please keep sharing. We have appointed a brilliant barrister who has excellent experience in the Court of Appeal and in acting for and against government departments. Fair Judgement and memorial to Ruth Perry. gofund.me/501edffb
