I cannot say this enough. Schools cannot hold up the whole world. Housing, jobs, dentistry, doctors: we need other policy areas to work if there’s any chance at improving children’s lives.

For anyone who's read VARJAK PAW and wants to know how it was written - or anyone interested in writing - here's a free resource I made for the British Library, sharing pages from 7 different drafts. You can have a lot of fun showing this to a class!

I created 128 slides of safeguarding quiz questions for staff briefings.

I found the questions online, but I mixed them up so that they are covering an array of topics each week e.g.
-KCSIE
-Prevent
-CCE
-Online safety
-Abuse

Happy to share 👍🏾

As a headteacher I have immense influence. Since coming out as a sigma in assembly and walking around the place mewing and calling everything skibidi we have seen a 100% reduction in Y6 boys being interested in such gubbins.

@ashleigh_pain Yes please, thank you so much

[AR @llewelyn20]

I think Labour should look at improving services for children and families from birth to 3. It would make sure that children got a good start in life. We could be sure families start to get access to support.
Ensure…decent start…

I just need a name.

It's just so important to see things from a different angle.

So here is how an IT helpdesk experienced the #Crowdstrike outage. 🧵

Please, read this even if you no interest in IT or know nothing about it. It doesn't matter. It's about appreciation for those who keep us going.

A thread about one of the many public sector scandals going under the radar....

The DfE "safety valves" for special educational needs.

These were started in 2021 due to councils getting into deficit on school spending because demand for special needs support has risen so much.

Just read of the sad loss of Sir Tim Brighouse.

This list has been on the wall of my class then Office for ever and was and is the most important list I’ve ever had. It’s constantly reminded me that teaching is more than what happens in lessons and that it’s about being human.

A Deputy Head of a Primary school said to me today:

The #earlyyears is the most important stage of #primaryeducation. If you get it wrong, you spend the next 6 years trying to put it right. If you get it right, you can spend the next 6 years building on it.

Couldn't agree more

***BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT ***

🧵 In this thread, I have summarised some of Dr Bill Rogers’ top behaviour management strategies. Each one is supported with an old-school video.
