@VickiBrown86 @educationgovuk @pearson @bphillipsonMP I want to know who is going to pay my office staff to come in to work during their holidays to process the results. They are not contracted to be in on the 16th.

Today one of our ECTs learnt and signed a speech about a pupil in celebration assembly so that her hearing impaired mum could hear all about share in her achievements. Mum was so touched she cried, staff cried. This is the power of what we bring to our school families everyday.

Great to meet our LGC Chairs this week. In 12 months we’ve reshaped local governance around clear priorities, built strong training, and created a model now seen as leading-edge practice. Proud of the collaboration, challenge and impact. Our local tier has never been stronger.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

@MrTeece_ Absolutely! I was an AHT 2014-2019 in a brilliant secondary school. We did amazing things for our students and communities. I would jog the corridors because there wasn’t enough capacity to get things done. AHT are the people who get things done.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

@SchoolsWeek 2014-2019 I was the assistant headteacher at a brilliant secondary school. There was so much to do that I would jog down the corridors to save a few minutes here and there. Since then schools have been expected to take on more and more responsibility. It does not seem feasible.

We should all be grateful to @tombennett71 for rebutting the study about "isolation spaces" in schools.

It's frankly unacceptable that stuff like this is still getting through the peer-review process.

@Mr_Raichura This session was one of the highlights of my day. Thank you.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

@cjshore @researchED1 @InspiringPrimAT That is unfortunate arrow placement! Sorry @DrJimHeal however your presentation was really interesting.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

✨ A fantastic day at @researchED1 with colleagues from @InspiringPrimAT

Days like today remind me why collaboration and continuous learning are so powerful in education. I’m looking forward to many coffees, reflections, and discussions over the coming weeks.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

Sensible seat allocation so I didn’t need to pay extra to sit next to the kids. Well done @PLAYairlines !

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

Today I’m flying with @PLAYairlines from Stansted to Baltimore. £1500 cheaper for the family than any other flights I could find. I’ve got to say I am really impressed and it’s been an excellent experience right from online check in yesterday #HappyCustomer

[Mr Teece @MrTeece_]

Love this by @kavitharia and reckon it's pretty spot on. The few times I've been in off site meetings they have been super productive, creative and focussed. Always a challenge in schools but not impossible.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

@rugbyontnt Nowhere near a yellow card. It was a legitimate charge down attempt and there was no way he could pull out. Gutted for Dan Cole.

[Adam Watson @MrAdamWatson]

A wonderful evening spent with our governance heroes as we celebrated the achievements of the past year at IPAT.

Your time, energy, and commitment are vital to helping our schools grow, thrive, improve. We couldn’t do it without you!

This is a brilliant thought provoking piece. It is clear the current system is not working despite the efforts of so many committed school staff. Many schools are on their knees trying to deliver everything in Section F of an EHCP.

Very pleased to see this, and honestly, I know anecdotally of dozens of parents up and down the country that should read it and consider their actions: https://t.co/1Wt4zvzzbw
