Thanks to everyone who attended our 7th Model United Nations Conference. We welcomed over 230 delegates for debates including government corruption, abortion rights to UN funding . #pupilvoice#nbhs#mun
@Mr_Minchin Technology makes the need for “sense checking” answers even more important. Forget Iron Man or Black Widow- the speed of change with technology is the variable we can’t keep up with !
Reflective supervision has proved a 'game-changer' for school leaders' wellbeing, says Heather Forrest – 'let's champion it for all those who work in education' https://t.co/VKNz7zlTIZ
Can we please start to consider the cost of school photos (£22.50 for a digital download) and Christmas cards (£5.95 for 6 cards) when we are discussing the cost of the school day. This may appear to be an “add on” but there is pressure to buy these items every year.
I’m so thankful that my job is face to face not just working online. Relationships are what it’s all about, and I love having the chance to work with staff, pupils and families in real life.
But even after 20 years I still get the new term nerves!
This is where I recharge.
Coming “home” is always so special and I appreciate this view - and more importantly the company- more and more each time I come.
I realise how lucky I am, and I do not take any of it for granted.
I remember performing with the DAOS Orchestra in 1998 with nearly 4000 other musicians in the Birmingham Symphony Hall when Sir Simon Rattle conducted us as part of the World’s Largest Orchestra.
The DAOS Concert Band recently took to the stage at Birmingham's Symphony Hall as part of the Music for Youth National Festival. Conducted by Mr Kelly, repertoire beautifully performed included Arabesque (Hazo) & Minatures for Wind Band (Walton/Wiggins).
