I decided to take some biscuits into school tomorrow, but thought I'd better check with @educationgovuk that I wasn't contravening regulations. I checked - has anyone else had a chance to read this yet? Might be worth bringing to the attention of your SLT asap. #teachertwitter

I have now finished the online Youth Mental Qualification courses for this year. However, I have 12 Youth Mental Health publication e-copy licences (3 year) that are unused and therefore I am giving these away for free. The 32-page booklets have been contributed to by the NHS and also provide all Mental Health agencies and contact details. Retweet and like, and I will draw the 12 winners tomorrow night at 8pm.

@C_Fitz_ This poem is read and discussed at our first staff meeting of every school year.... we do not know what happens at home before children come to school ....something we all must be mindful of...

One of the hardest things to accept as a leader- You will never please everyone all of the time- Listen, be empathetic & authentic and always make decisions based on integrity- If you put your pupils and staff at the heart - that’s the best you can do #leadershipmusings

Decide how urgent and important tasks are. Then, you can see what you need to a) DO NOW b) SCHEDULE c) DELEGATE d) DELETE This has changed how I organise my day, freeing up my weekends for family time and relaxing.

Unbelievable rudeness today by two separate people at the same corporate event celebrating great charity work 1. stand in front of a guest at a presentation and completely block their view when you were the previous speaker, the senior member of the corporate host.

2. shake hands and introduce yourself to someone despite the fact they are conversing with someone else, who is clearly invisible as you ignore them?

Sorry to the lady I was trying to speak to before we were so rudely interrupted before I politely excused myself and left! And sorry for leaving you with a rude man! Charity is great but let’s not forget manners! 😖

Imagine people popping in your office saying ‘can you just..?’ ‘are you busy? now imagine that every time you stop and say yes that they take £5 from your purse….you wouldn’t let them ALL take your money so why let them ALL take your time?
