Welsh- deputy head thriving on opportunities to be creative in the classroom. Whole school curriculum leader, language lead - Love my job! All opinions my own.
Ricky Gervais: Life’s a struggle, full of beautiful little surprises that make you want to carry on through all the shit, until the next beautiful surprise..the same can be said of teaching.. lots of struggles until something magical happens and you cling onto that utill the next
Last day of @TISUK_ diploma today. What a great experience! I cannot recommend having the training enough - if you get the chance grab it with both hands! Thank you to @SLL079 and the team for being so supportive .
"Pick your favourite teacher. Tell us why," they told me.
I think about this all the time because I didn't write: She taught me the formula for the area of a circle. I didn't write: She taught me how to spell. I didn't write those things.
I wrote: She cared about me. She made me feel important. She believed in my ideas. And she kept moving me further.

@BraaiKing_Bad You’ve described my life in one tweet… except the fact that I live next door to my brother as well 😂
But I’m really, really happy … so normal or not it’s the life I chose and wanted .
I like to sit with someone who’s been struggling and have a chat. Listening to then talk about what they’ve learnt or what they are learning always makes me feel better .
Sometimes, when it’s all getting a bit much grab a book from child and look at their first piece of work in September and then look at the last piece of work they’ve done.
See the difference you’ve made.

@Teacherglitter@OGTeaches I found it great . My head was always five days in school anyway so might as well be paid for it. If anything it made me prioritise quality time more than I had before.
At 18 I failed every single A Level I took and was told I’d never go to university. Today, I step into role as Dean of @EducationLBU at @leedsbeckett as the first woman of colour in the university’s history to hold such a position.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you, “you can’t”
