The new CPOMS layout 🤢🤮 Was literally no need to mess with it!
Very bad news for the teaching profession and the thousands of families that have been destroyed by this ideology in schools. I lost.
It annoys me when teachers don’t take the time to ‘know’ or ‘study’ their students. You wonder why you can’t he though to them - you need to understand them first!
Me - Who is a head of years’ worst nightmare? Them - the kids Me - No… the staff.
What is the best email sign-off, which is sarcastic?
Fun conversation with a parent… Parent - proceeds to tell me how to do my job Me - “oh do you work in education?” Parent - “no - but it ain’t that hard” That’s like me going and telling a fish how to swim properly?!?!?!
Why do people who don’t work in education always comment on how education should work? It’s the equivalent of me telling a cardiologist how to perform surgery.
Should the head of HR also be able to be a line manager to the site/IT/premises/Cover/other support staff? Conflict of interest if you ask me🙃
Just completed a 3-day behaviour-focused residential with some of my 9’s. Shattered don’t describe it mate
“Kids who are loved at home come to school to learn… Kids who aren’t, come to school to get loved” *unknown source.
🌟 Reflecting on a wild week in the classroom – the chaos, the creativity, the learning moments. Grateful for the rollercoaster ride that is teaching! 🍎🎢 #TeacherLife #AccomplishedWeek
Can anyone recommend any good guest speakers for Year 9 students? Nothing in particular - but something useful and enriching? Please help!!’
ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER - if you don’t have this; get it! @MicrosoftToDo
Safeguarding is always busy, but more recently it seems like we are all busier than ever. Are things getting worse? Are kids just more open to disclosing things?

So this is my Friday evening - #Year11Mocks #EduTwitter
My school has trialled this in recent years - whilst 1hr does not seem like a lot - it takes it toll! Especially when there are parents eve's, CPD training, and detentions!

Your school wants to increase teaching per day by 1 hour. This means around 195 hours extra over 39 weeks and amounts to about 6 weeks. The 6 weeks to be distributed across the year. Half terms to be two weeks each with the summer break increased to 9 weeks. Would you accept?

I loved her so much and she loved me. I started going through a severe depressive episode during that time. It was really bad. And this woman invited me to stay at her house for a few nights for a change of scenery.…

Safeguarding is really tough; it can feel lonely and really weigh you down. Going out on duty every break & lunch to catch up with kids is super important and it’s what keeps me going. It helps add a bit of positivity into every day 💪 #lifeofadsl
Most people think 🤔 drug addicts sit in shop door ways begging! Far from it because I’m getting more people contacting me who’s social cocaine use has now become dependency! These people are husbands wife’s have kids good jobs ? & help is available to them like it was me 🙏🏻❤️
Having to fill in the DLA forms. Absolute torture. #ADHD

Friday: 2 English lessons, 2 Psychology lessons, student meeting to begin MSP and meeting to discuss ofsted SEND focus. It’s ramping up as I approach the start of my SENDCo role! Finished with drinks with colleagues though 😊
Lovely brunch out! I needed that. So important when international to have people outside of school to spend time with too!
@InsidePastoral @technologylaura Just emailed myself a reminder to look at this!
Anyone else send emails to themselves with notes or reminders? 🤷♀️
How safe it is to live on a diet of just Mini Eggs?

Well, today was a Friday!! If you're in safeguarding, you'll know exactly what i mean! 😫🤣🤦♂️
A child who has suffered bereavement of mum & dad internal truanting: 'Get to class or you will be sent home!' 'I'd rather be sent home.' 'Fine -home it is!' This child has turned up to school, but there are clearly barriers. Let's listen & support. Schools can be too reactive.
@_Archieee All of ours is through Class Charts 🙂
It angers me when staff congregate to bitch and moan about individual children - 9 times out of 10 this ‘flock’ of staff haven’t: - Checked their SEN status - Called home - Tried to navigate the issue - OR BUILD A RELATIONSHIP Respect works both ways. #InsidePastoral
