To celebrate his book launch (and his introduction to Twitter!), my good friend @Timrowley2020 has kindly given me 10 books as a giveaway.
The books are fantastic for raising awareness of wellbeing within children.
To win one, please follow, like and retweet by 10am on Sunday!
@SchoolDogHead We formed a parents champions group-deliberately targeted the parents who frequently complain-meet informally once a term after school-tea/coffee chat vibe-discuss the issues-has taken time but had an impact-they have now gone on to defend the school against other parents
My school was placed in a new trust following its inadequate grade in May 2022. This was despite me appealing as far as I reasonably could and arguing that inspectors had lied. A consequence of being placed in a MAT is a new URN code, ‘new school’, no reinspection or justice.
@RolySpeller Great thread and I’m sure very reassuring (if not also hugely concerning) for other schools that will be going through a similar experience-thank you for sharing your experience
@RolySpeller I don’t think I’m able to DM please could you follow me or DM or I can reply? I’m glad to hear that you are doing well given everything and it’s testament to your character that you are still standing after everything
