This is NOT a vote winner in my book. It is a vote LOSER. If this was possible now, after an @ITV drama and subsequent massive backlash on social media, it was possible years ago when it was obvious this was a miscarriage of justice. Shame on @RishiSunak Shame on @PostOffice

Do you know, the hardest parts of being a head are not shareable on social media. They’re often not shareable at all. #Solidarity to all heads out there going through shit they can’t talk about….. 👊

Dear BTEC learners, Following the Prime Minister’s broadcast this evening, we are working urgently with the DfE and Ofqual to confirm if this announcement also impacts the BTEC exams scheduled to start this week. We’ll update you as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

If you’ve got the guidance today - there is no rush to act on it. Think about it, consider it. Parents know you’re opening, that’s enough. They don’t need the details until later, you won’t gain by rushing it to them before term ends. Come at it with fresh eyes in a week or so.

Some parents haven’t bought their children back to school because they don’t believe it’s safe. Apparently that’s schools fault. Oddly every parent I’ve spoken to has confidence in what we’ve done, they just don’t trust the government when they say it is safe.

Now schools are all apparently back I was thinking of booking a school trip. Unfortunately this venue is closed, no idea why.

This is disgusting behaviour by one who should know better and be setting an example. What a lack of honesty and integrity. #Coronavirus Coronavirus: Police warning over Calderwood's second home visit bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

School workers, do everything you can to get a break this Easter. We might be doing less hours in school, but the mental strain is greater. We don’t know how long we’ll have to keep going for - don’t feel guilty for taking time out this holiday.

None of us will know until this is all over whether we did the right things and took the right actions. We will know we did our best, and that needs to be enough.
