This Sunday, I’m back to run the @LondonMarathon for the second time. This time I know what to expect so not sure if that’s better or worse! If you’d like to donate to the @TeenageCancer Trust, please visit https://t.co/ypFhL2loJ8 Thank you so much! Bring on Sunday! 😁😁😁

@francescaprett2 😆 I was convinced!

Kingfisher is surely Harry Hill!

I’m fundraising for the @TeenageCancer Trust this year as I train for the London Marathon in April. You’re invited to a quiz night on 8th February. Let me know if you’d like to come and I’ll sign you up 😃

@TeachersRunClub @parkrunUK @parkrun No parkrun sadly but I have got a 10 mile race tomorrow on Hayling Island. Looking forward to it 😁

[Seb Olway @HeadTeacherSeb]

Has anyone got a breakdown of what the budget means for schools or will that be released in due course?

I’m hearing additional funding which is great but I’d like to know how that translates per pupil.

TIA.

[Seb Olway @HeadTeacherSeb]

9 out of 26 miles have been sponsored. DM me if you’d like to claim one before they all go. Follow my link to find out more about who I’m fundraising for and why. Thank you. Look out for my next race on Sunday! 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ https://t.co/ypFhL2loJ8

When you find out your Deputy Headteacher is also an Arsenal fan 😁 🙌

2 weeks in…what an absolute privilege Headship is. I heard these words on Monday and I’m using them to guide the tone of my leadership and my interactions with everyone in my school community.

Why has there been a tendency to privilege writing over speaking, listening, and reading? 🤔

While oracy is gaining attention, high-quality talk in classrooms is often viewed as optional rather than an essential entitlement for all pupils.

Why do we believe that written outcomes are more valuable than verbal responses?

This belief partly stems from the transient nature of spoken words, making it challenging to capture the quality of responses compared to written ones. ✍️

This is not a drill 🚨 I’ve just discovered that teachers and school staff can access a blue light card giving them access to thousands of different discounts!
