Your daily reminder that the Equality Act is the law...
Your daily reminder that the Equality Act is the law...
Does anyone have any advice/resources to support equality, diversity and inclusion during form time?
If a young person presents as 'coping' in school, please don't undermine a parent who tells you their child goes home and bangs their head against the wall, screams and cries because of school. Listen to understand.
My marking really enjoyed the car ride back to the house, and I'm sure it'll enjoy the journey back to school unmarked too. 🙃
The best thing about teaching? Never a day without laughter 🤣.
I love this. It's so important to not burn bridges and keep connections.

I've been reading up on boomerang employees. Is this a thing in education? Has anyone returned to a place they left or heard of someone who did?
A child trying their best will look different depending on the individual child. It will also depend on the day, home circumstances and the transitions they have experienced in school that day. Children are not robots.
What's a way to destroy trust between a family & school for children who can't attend due to issues with the school environment? Attendance letters & fines. There are children who will not attend until something changes with the school environment. Threats are not the answer.
A child's wellbeing must come before attainment. Meeting children's needs must be the priority. Wellbeing ✅️ Nurture ✅️ Role modelling ✅️
Prioritise the wellbeing of pupils Prioritise the culture of a school Prioritise consistency Three key factors in school improvement.
How about teaching 4/6 periods and trying to fit all of your pastoral/safeguarding responsibilities into 2 periods...that's the real roller coaster ride...😬

I feel like there aren't many jobs out for promoted posts at the moment, other than remote areas. When are jobs for retirements at the end of term likely to be advertised?
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.
When the system cannot get bad enough... 'Let's ensure the children without dinner, breakfast or a kind word for 13 hours + are the last to be served lunch. That'll sort them out.' If we don't want to be part of the solution, we are part of the problem.

You could argue that you are 'teacher blaming' me for ensuring we are meeting the needs of children. I'll never stop advocating for children.

We want children to attend lessons, so let's work with them. Let's take asking children as step one. Issue with peers? Issue with the teacher? Habit? The work? Peer influence? Boredom? School culture? Let's find out and support!

Sending a child home for internal truancy is not any kind of solution. If a child isn't in class, they don't want to be. It you are sending the same children home each time, it isn't working. Why aren't they going to class? How can you support? Those questions are needed.
Those most likely to be excluded from school: Children with additional support needs Care experienced children Children experiencing poverty We know there is a link between exclusions and prison. We know there is a link between exclusion and trauma. Something needs to change.
As schools are put under pressure for attendance and attainment results, the nurturing role of Pastoral Leads has been lost. Trust between schools and families is breaking down and children are suffering. We really are in crisis.

I absolutely cannot with people thinking teachers should PAY FOR THEMSELVES on school trips 🤯🤯🤯
Please, education professionals, if you have children with EHCPs and/or disabilities, do not engage with this person or let him anywhere near your school. He advocates law breaking.
A lot is said about schools adapting to suit individual children. What about individual children adapting to suit schools? Isn’t that what we all do in society? We adapt. Life teaches us the need/utility of adapting. Sometimes adapting takes a lot of practice over time.
Today one of our teachers took her class outside to sit and listen to the rain. I LOVE that one of our teachers took our children to sit and listen to rain. And then one of them wrote this. We're going to have it made into a sign to put in our outdoor learning area. 💕💕💕
I delivered a whole-staff briefing for the first time today and got this email from a colleague afterwards 🥹
At our big age, everything boils down to a very simple concept: how would I feel if this were me/done to me? That would quite litchrally solve everything. Why? Because empathy is the solution
Something that happens to me quite often is people react to hearing that I lost my Mum at 19 by saying things like "OMG I couldn't cope. I need my Mum. I wouldn't have coped without my Mum through X" and I get that it's a fear reaction but like... what?? I needed mine too.
For those of you not asking but wanting to, it’s ok to just say “I’m sorry for your loss” or “that must have been awful for you” You know, something that is about the person you’re speaking to and the person THEY lost… not you and your hypothetical and imagined grief
just because I'm alive and in front of you and sharing this does not mean I didn't suffer immeasurably and that my life isn't much worse because of this. I'll never know how things could have been if it hadn't happened but I will always miss her as a person and miss having a mum.
Only a few more weeks left... You can do this!
The first rule for leading behaviour in schools is for leaders to lead by example. How leaders talk to and respect their colleagues and students sets the culture for everyone.
Schools are institutions. Practices that are good for institutions are not automatically good for individual children or staff. The move toward trauma-informed schools is basically a call to be more aware of this contrast. Then we can figure out more creative, caring responses.
Often in punitive cultures, YP lie to save themselves from inevitable sanctions. A different conversation allows them to be honest about how they feel about what they've done and who they've affected. It's not weak to encourage this, and nor is seeking honesty a low expectation.
This week I had an excellent discussion with a child about taking responsibility. It was a breakthrough because often the child will deny an event. Rather than accusing them of “lying” I hold the “lie” open with curiosity.
My mom was really serving us home cooked meals every single day…… younger me didn’t realize how much work and how much of a blessing that is
Top leadership tip: if you see another adult in school doing something and you think to yourself ‘I really liked that’ then tell them. Means so much.
