Just thinking you may like to know how to contact OFSTED. Why? 🧐 To let them know how well the teachers of your children are doing 😊 especially @rockbeareps in @DevonCC Email: enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk Twitter: @Ofstednews

This has brought so much joy on an otherwise fairly gloomy week!

Am definitely going to be contacting Ofsted tomorrow to let them know about my daughters' schools. They need to be aware of how hard every single member of staff is working, in almost impossible conditions. Phone: 03001231231 Email: enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk Twitter: @Ofstednews

@LorraineMHeath Was thinking of you and can't even begin to imagine how frustrated and exhausted you must be. 🥰 What a monumental 'botchberg'.

I’m not going lie. I’m a bit cross.

Kitchens have ordered all the food. School leaders have rewritten the risk assessments. Headteachers have agonised over safety. Hours have been spent on webinars, reading testing manuals, writing to parents, gaining consent, setting up test centres, meetings, planning and prep.

@frankietweetart Yes to this! As a Mum to a bright and very dyslexic boy I couldn't agree more!

We really need to get out of our heads that #sen equates to low ability and instead focus on different ways of teaching to meet all needs, use scaffolding and support appropriately. SEND doesn’t necessarily mean less able. #anxiety also plays a huge part as well. #sen #inclusion

I know clapping is no longer a thing -but if it was, we should be applauding Headteachers, leadership teams, teachers, teaching assistants, office/catering/site/cleaning and medical staff, governors & volunteers for their commitment to keeping schools open since March. Thank you.

#GavinWilliamson you have now said publicly that some schools/teachers would put ALL students through as A/A*s. And there it is. You do not trust or respect us. Teachers being told they are liars and cheats. And from the mouths of the biggest liars and cheats I’ve ever known.

@Mr_G_ICT Congrats on the new job! What will you be doing?

@ComputingLaura We do now 😁 Benefit to working from home 😀

@teachsci Hold up! You have a dog?! X

Genuine question 🤔 Folk that own both dogs and cats... how do you stop the dog eating the cat food and vice versa?!

@Buxton7Laura Thanks lovely

So tomorrow is my last day at the most wonderful and inspirational school I have ever experienced and I thought I was totally cool... But just received this email.. I think there may be some dust in my eye ❤️

@_DevonGirl_ I'll miss it! Loved our morning meeting 😘

@CrowtherSim I had to make my son scale the shelves like a monkey the other day! #shortpeoplestruggles Yours is a vital service!

Just got 'borrowed' for my height in Sainsbury's. Anyone else perform this vital public service. #LemmeGetThatForYou

What a day! @mr_pepperell @ComputingLaura 😬😂

My normal stance is to always back the union. I oppose the early opening of schools; but I also believe in staff unity. If you believe your Headteacher has considered your health and wellbeing as much as is reasonably possible, offer them your full support. All the best ✌🏼

After staying home for 12 weeks, this makes an absolute farce of my isolation. I'm back to work tomorrow and I don't feel safe.

@Teacherglitter I trust my SLT and know that they are carrying burdens beyond my comprehension. I wish I could say the same about the government.

I won’t lie. I have tummy wobbles about Monday. I love my union. They have always been there for me & I have always joined in strikes historically. I won’t however go against my SLT who I believe have gone above and beyond to make a safe, secure return. I put my trust in my SLT.
