How I wish I could be with parents if I’m honest
When Tom Cruise told a reporter to “put his manners back in” over a question about his ex-wife Nicole Kidman 👀

In a new job since September, with two weeks off for pay leave and the call came yesterday. Baptism of fire 😭

And just like that, pat leave is over. Been a whirlwind 2 weeks and life has now changed. Anyone have any helpful tips on managing the return to teaching post baby would be much appreciate

Have said it every year I’ve been a teacher, will continue to do so. The first Sunday night of any holiday is the best. It’s an unmatched feeling

70 staff leaving is insane
I absolutely loved my local school. The Head who ran the school before was an inspirational man who made people feel safe to express their views. The fact that ONE person can change the dynamic & ethos so dramatically, leading to 70 plus staff voting with their feet 👣 is beyond me. We went from Good to two consecutive RI Ofsteds 😔
Since he’s taken over, there’s been nothing but negative headlines. Skirt ban, period proof, cancelled 6th form courses & more parents opting to home school than ever before. Lynsey Holzer CEO has gone all out to excuse his behaviour with maladministration in whistleblower meetings. My heart breaks for my community 😞

We flew over Hurricane Milton about 90 minutes ago. Here is the view out the Dragon Endeavour window. Expect lots of images from this window as this is where I’m sleeping while we wait to undock and return to Earth.
Timelapse coming in a separate post.

It’s so sad that it’s come to this, but we deserve so much better and it’s time we started challenging those at the top to do better!

Currently going through this. Helps to be in a supportive school
The first job of any incoming head of department is to do...nothing.
Take your time. Figure things out. Don't rock the boat until you've identified the thing that really needs changing.
That applies to anything: booklets, T&L, starters, homework platform, admin...whatever.

Moved from secondary to primary and honestly, the unfiltered nature of the kids is brilliant. So much stuff that they come out with unprompted

Things we’ve got at my new school that I could never have imagined at my last place:
- 2 release days a year for HOY, 1 for HOD
- a regular check in from the Head
- a commitment to work life balance, not just empty words
- an actual staff room
