Monday's in-box;

Dear Headteacher,
It absolutely beggars belief that you are closing/opening* the school today.

*Delete as appropriate.

Very excited to be speaking about the journey of @davincilead later today with the incredible Katie Roberts, and the small part that @TeachFirst has played in helping #Saashow22

I work with some great people, and @FayeCraster is one of the best - her blog highlights how the ECF is going so far and is well worth a read

[Faye Craster @FayeCraster]

How is the ECF programme going? In this blog I share some insights about what we’ve found out so far and how we’re going to build further improvements. Spoiler; ECTs seem to be benefiting, mentors are great but need more time. #ecf

Cool job, dubious clipart

[Diana Owen CBE @DianaOwenLEAD]

I am delighted for @noelbakerlead on their recent @ofstednews ‘good’ judgement. The inspection team praised the academy’s strong leadership, the exemplary conduct of pupils and recognised a positive shift in the learning culture. Congratulations and well done.

@M_Potter90 That is properly rubbish - gutted for you

[Karl Edwards @KarlEdwards1]

This blog hits the nail on the head for me, a helpful way of outlining how we and others are trying to help in an intentionally short term way

[Jonathan Simons @jonathansimons]

Why I think @nadhimzahawi and @educationgovuk "return to classrooms" scheme has merit, and why much of the criticism accidentally or deliberately misses the mark: https://t.co/gosyQ17pUt

Happy World Breastfeeding Week 🤱🏻
TLDR: boobs=amazing. Be nice.

Karl took this pic at 6.30am - a quick snuggle before work. It's after busy shifts and crazy work weeks, in these moments of reconnection that I am so grateful to have been able to feed 2 pups with relative ease 1/n
