@neileley @FarrellTweets @MissEGeog Hi Neil. What was the name of the company please? I tried contacting one but they never replied! Thanks.

@WhistleblowingT Completely normal. Will be part of the ‘Managing Attendance’ policy. It should be to identify what support they can put in place to help you return / when you return. You shouldn’t be checking work emails which is why it is sent to your private one.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@WhistleblowingT I think it’s acceptable for you to run the meeting, but if you don’t input absences onto the system it’s not your job to know if / when triggers are met as you won’t have that data.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@LancsSbm @SBLconnect It would help to evidence how/why it is appropriate e.g. if the job has grown from when you started, any new responsibilities, what you have done over & above the original job description. I have done this recently. Happy for you to DM me.

@valerieandrew No parity in pay to other senior leaders despite higher levels of responsibility and extremely challenging workloads.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@Headteacherchat Two form entry primary school. No committees (except pay & HT review panel). 7 meetings per year which all governors attend.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@RobinsonKH @UA_Books Wow, love all of these.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@mrsgriffd @londonteacher_ Love this.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@CSPrimaryTeach @CantabKitty Wow, that’s a lot of printers! Lucky and I think it would be great if more schools could afford the same.

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@WhistleblowingT Only if one of you line manages the other. However, it is highly likely colleagues may notice! I hope it goes well 💕

[Debbi Buss @BussDebbi]

@smileydenden What a beautiful boy. I hope his dreams come true & although it’s such a long way, you will have regular visits 💕

@RogersHistory We generally pay Mainscale 6 for supply teachers unless there’s a complelling reason to pay more or less. We normally use ‘bank’ staff so would recommend anybody interested in supply teaching to register their details with local schools. As a very last resort we use agencies

@SecretTeach3r @secretHT1 @CensoredHead @ProudHeadTeach1 @Headteacherchat In year deficit before these increases balanced by carry forward, but these further costs will mean absolutely no contingency if anything goes wrong (have a really old boiler, drains issues, old windows, play equipment nearing end of life, tree roots breaking up tarmac …)

@sbl365 Ooh yes please, could I be added. Thank you.

@AmandaWilson910 £350 for 4 nights / 5 days. Venue is about 30 miles away. Low PP numbers. We use PPG to pay first £100 for eligible pupils. Also fortunate to have a local charity who will help families who struggle with the cost (don’t have to be PP).

The school won 2nd prize 🏆 for their entry in this years’ town carnival. We chose the theme ‘World Book Day’ to celebrate its 25th anniversary and even better meant that children got to think about their favourite books and wear their costumes again. #worldbookday

2/2 After practising our sketching skills, we decided which rainforest animal we wanted to create close-up art work for. We thought about what made that animal distinctive. Can you identify the animal in each picture?

@La_Biologuita Our primary does lockdown drills - I thought all schools were required to?
