'Students first’ is a misplaced sentiment. By putting staff first, you are on the way to providing for students the one thing that will help them make good progress in their learning: truly great teaching.’

My new school is having a collection and charity event day for the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria. I am so proud of them and the kids for doing this. Such a different working environment. It really is a place that cares x

We have to ask ourselves, "to what detriment are we placing young people under when we merely teach to the exam... factory style!" Do they not deserve an education which merely provides them with the ability to think and express themselves rather than exam and grade stress...

So honest help required... I am so pleased you announce I have been promoted to an SLT position. But, my question is: what do staff honestly want from SLT and what to avoid? I know from past experience what I wanted and did not want, but interested in what others think, Inc SLT
