I thought I'd stick my head over the parapet a little bit...

Heathbrook is over-subscribed!
We are absolutely delighted that 60 places have been offered for our Reception classes in September and there is a waiting list. The number of parents and carers choosing us as their first preference has risen by 41% since 2022. #community 1/2

NEW: City Hall will be funding free school meals for every primary school pupil in London.

No child should go hungry in our city.

The Government have refused to act, so I’m stepping up.

"It's worth the extra journey just to get to Heathbrook."

Listen to why so many of our families travel further to bring their children here.

@Better_UK Morning! Trying to find information about the children’s pool and swimming in general at Clapham Leisure centre. Your website is impenetrable and phone lines are clogged. Help please.

The vigil for #SarahEverard is apparently illegal. I would like the Met Police to reflect on how it will look if they are seen carrying women off Clapham Common after dark and bundling them into vans.

Hands up anyone else who suspended a massive handmade papier-mâché Pterodactyl from the ceiling today? Just me? #teacherlife #receptionteacher #dinosaurs @ London, United Kingdom https://t.co/lDsL2pR2VE

A wonderful virtual tour of Heathbrook Primary for any prospective parents. Our children love their school and so do we.

[Heathbrook Primary @HeathbrookPri]

Would your child benefit from
• our celebrated outdoor curriculum?
• weekly music & sports lessons from full-time specialist teachers?
• ‘high academic standards’ (Ofsted 2020)? #lovinglearning

Watch our virtual tour (following new lockdown guidelines) https://t.co/Ls8XGK5CXW

I’d be grateful for any suggestions for books and resources about understanding autism and Aspergers. These are to educate myself, not the classroom. Many thanks. #edutwitter

[Joe AO @DomanDoonin]

Disheartening to hear all this talk of children ‘catching up’. How demoralising for them. The sooner we realise that learning is a lifelong journey and not a series of arbitrarily-defined hoops the better.

[Roary @GrRoary]

Owen Jones has sat on his arse all week and watched silently as JKR gets thousands of abusive messages full of violent and sexualised threats and rhetoric. Can't help but wonder if these threats had made front page news (they should have) would he have called them out? >
