@WaughMairead @ICT_MrP Writing out a self-designed maths worksheet and copying it on the banda machine.

@ICT_MrP Planning on an A3 sheet. Topic title in the middle and subjects all around it

For all my teachers and school staff… Don’t tell me how long you’ve been teaching in years, tell me by what you did when you first started teaching that doesn’t happen now

@SteelCityHelps 🖤 33 years, almost 17 as a Head. Best job in the world.

Hey #teachertwitter! What is it for you?

@RetirementTales @MrEFinch No.42 in Morning has Broken. Etched in my brain. I still have my copy in my office. It's how I learned to play the recorder at age 9. (I'm 56). All my scribbles are in it as I was figuring out how to read music.

@MrEFinch You're on, Sir! We'll send you a DM or a fax.

We are now taking requests for songs to include in our final assembly. Tell us your favourite assembly song, hymn or Christmas carol. We'll put some of your choices into our event on 18th Dec. Please don't request "When I Needed a Neighbour" just to snigger at the word 'naked'.

@nectar I've had £40 worth of points spent from my card in a town I've never visited and my Nectar card has never left my possession. What do I do please?

@IntrovertProbss Doing Myers-Briggs 30 years ago. It made everything make sense and that understanding of myself has served me well for most of my life.

@bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk Congratulations. I'm delighted at your appointment. I can help with your To Do list: SEND provision Ofsted Sure Start Recruitment & Retention

Getting my feet under the table at @educationgovuk - the department for opportunity. From here, we’ll work to give every child the best start in life, drive high and rising standards and ensure that background is no barrier to getting on in life.

A new day in Westminster has dawned...

And so many of them went to State Schools. I love that. I love it so much. We need a break from Eton/Winchester types. We need people who went to schools like ours, who had mates like our mates, who understand normal life and what you can and can't afford.

You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power. Emmeline Pankhurst @sophie_womack

The tragic loss of Ruth Perry has shown us the urgent need for reform of school inspections. We are calling on the next govt to #AbolishOfsted and replace it with a better system that is supportive, effective and fair. Read more👉 neu.org.uk/manifesto #VoteEducation

The funding situation in schools is absolutely horrific at the moment. I feel really sorry for all the headteachers and school staff who have to make impossible decisions, almost every day, about which child's education matters more and about what needs to be cut next.

Save the date! 13 July 12-4pm. St Jude's School Summer Festival featuring Replicants, a band of local lads who regularly gig in Windsor. instagram.com/replicantswind… Live music, BBQ, bouncy castles, bar, swimming. Fabulous family afternoon out.

@king_abby96 I'm honoured.

@vickichiv May have chosen specially 👀

This team ❤️

@Headteacherchat Average arrival time 7.30am. Leave any time between 6.30pm and 8pm. Don't do any more work once I'm home.

Anon post: What hours are other heads currently working? Rough idea of what time you arrive/leave and any other hours that are done at home? Thanks!

To celebrate getting close to a cool number of followers, I’m giving away this batch of picture books! To enter, follow, L+RP. Bonus: share a great read in the replies. #giveaway ends May 5.

@Aiannucci Couldn't agree more, as the mother of a musician currently doing his degree in Liverpool. Another typical Tory move. #GTTO

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. theguardian.com/education/2024…
