Our Spotlight Partner School this month is New -Bridge Integrated College. Read their story here whentheadultschange.com/partner-school

Obviously nothing has been learnt by Ofsted. The new framework is undoubtedly biased against those who are inclusive, those in the most disadvantaged areas. Those doing the hardest job penalised again.

@dsprimed You should also consider training in the Arctic - will help with the heating bills

I've been to the gym this morning and joined. I didn't actually use the gym, unless you count sitting in the steam room, but the countdown to getting healthy to be poor in early retirement continues. The lighter I am, the fewer calories I'll need.

Finding it quite irritating to listen to the "inclusion" narrative from someone who was CEO of a chain that had a habit of "losing" pupils when the chain took over under their leadership. I'd prefer to take that advice from leaders who walked the walk rather than mow the lawn.

As a When The Adults Change partner school we shared our story and work in relational and restorative practice . We were so proud to show our visitors “The New-Bridge Way “and our pupils were amazing ambassadors! #newbridgeproud @pauldixtweets @IEFNI @Education_NI @Ed_Authority

On Friday 6th March 2026 we opened our doors and welcomed guests from The Education Authority, Ulster University,Stranmillis University College and many schools from across Northern Ireland to our school.

@sara_sararadley @RockFerrySch Thank you Sara, looks like a great day

Excellent day of hard thinking and discussing which are the most effective parts of our own systems at @RockFerrySch. Having a culture based on relationships @pauldixtweets is the first and most fundamental part.
