My @strickomaster account was hacked earlier this year. I lost almost 50,000 followers. This is my new account, which I’ve had for a little while. Give me a follow, if you want, or a retweet.

Do you remember Sky Hunter?

The falcon.
The boating holiday.
The bird thieves.
The TV trolley.
The worksheet afterwards.

A whole generation just remembered BBC Schools.

A reminder:
The educator who looks calm and organised right now is probably juggling:

End-of-year reports
Data stuff
Transition meetings
Behaviour concerns
Parent communications
September planning
Trips and events
Safeguarding responsibilities

…while still giving their best to every child in front of them.

The mental load carried by educators at this point in the year is enormous.

If you know a teacher, teaching assistant, leader or support staff member, take a moment to thank them today. They deserve it.

We are absolutely delighted and incredibly proud to share that the whole team at St Andrew’s Catholic Primary School has been recognised as Highly Commended in the Pearson National Teaching Awards for The Award for Making a Difference – Primary School of the Year.

This recognition is a testament to the dedication, passion and commitment of every member of our school community. Every day, our staff work tirelessly to ensure that our children are supported, inspired and given every opportunity to thrive academically, socially and spiritually.

To receive national recognition alongside so many outstanding schools and educators is a tremendous honour. We are especially proud that this award celebrates the positive difference our team makes in the lives of our pupils and families.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing staff, wonderful children, supportive parents and governors. This achievement belongs to all of us and reflects the strength of our school community.

We remain committed to providing the very best education and opportunities for every child, and we look forward to continuing our journey together. @RC_Southwark

down too.

End of term can tip into exhaustion quickly.

Small things that help:
- acknowledge effort publicly
- protect planning time
- be flexible with the non-essentials
- model what “sustainable” looks like

How you pace yourself sets the tone — it gives your team permission to slow
