@Pr1stjournal Lol I was that parent. My kids hated the carpet especially as the good child got to sit on a chair. Watch this space. Carpet time is doomed!

Just a joy. Small voices and big. From Nursery loving servant king (aka seven king) to Director of Education Peter Sweeney for @DOW_Ed_Service and @societyofheads @ISC_schools and our loyal MP @RupaHuq thank you all!!

@hayo_luke This implies that those who engage in such behaviour are the majority. Why can we not identify hooligans and deal with them and let others be safe and relaxed without being treated like inmates?

I completely understand why schools have either organised or silent corridor routines. Corridors can be chasms for bullying, shoving, lateness and truancy. They can often be very unpleasant for shy, quiet children making their way to lesson. High expectations on transitions!

We set off for Bangkok later this week. People have commented on our courage. It set me thinking. Bravery is for adults as well as the students we constantly think of. Here I salute teachers and leaders of schools - you are mighty people every day. pollycastor.com/2023/03/03/ble…

@calucas16 @MissBird90 @TeacherTapp 100% this. 100% coursework for GCSE Language in 1990s was also excellent. Just different way of teaching but most importantly such a great way of learning for all pupils - I taught a resit class in a Sixth Form College where students turned up with average grades of G-D

@MissBird90 @TeacherTapp In the early 90s we had 40% cwk but it was all just class assignments. We did 12 over 2 yrs. Submitted best 10. No bother. They all did just as well on the 60% exam. Easy and brilliant. RS. Great course too.

Cannot stress this NO enough. Do not take us back to the days of ISAs. Coursework means a huge increase of workload for teachers, and more importantly it widens the disadvantage gap. No. @TeacherTapp

I don't know who needs to hear this but yesterday I assembled a huge trampoline for the kids and didn't lash it down before the gales, and now it lives in a field 100m away where the badgers are taking turns on it. #galewarning #trampolinewisdom

I would not have predicted that in the 15 years I have been studying psychology, @RobGMacfarlane’s book about underground landscapes would turn out to be one of the most profound books I have read about humanity - an absolute joy to read

Heart-warming moments from our Pre-Preps Spring #Concert today. Our girls gave wonderful musical & dramatic performances enjoyed by all. The girls touchingly dedicated their show to Mrs Raffray in thanks for all her hard work and generosity of spirit 🎶🌟🎭@raffraysarah #ealing
