So lovely to celebrate this brilliant project 💛 Huge well done to S6 Language Leaders & the primary pupils — ¡qué éxito! 🌟

Schools should be run by adults. Those adults should be the ones employed to run the school. Those very adults should decide the rules, systems & routines to keep a school safe, orderly & a place of learning. This shouldn’t be controversial nor confused as authoritarianism.

[EIS @EISUnion]

With the current political climate building towards the 2026 Scottish Elections, we must seize the day! We cannot let the Scottish Government and COSLA off the hook on their commitments. Vote YES for politicians to finally keep their promises to an overstretched teaching profession working in an under-resourced education system.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Restorative practice has been rolled out at scale in many schools and regions. Unfortunately there are lots of reasons why educators should use extreme caution before adopting RP:
1. Lack of demonstrated effectiveness
2. High costs
3. Decline in adult authority
4. Reduction in safety, calm and ironically, dignity
That’s not to say it’s not useful in many situations, but as a whole school system replacing other systems (eg boundaries, taught behaviours, consequences) it usually leads to terrible outcomes.

See New York for details. An interesting study here: https://t.co/TUA2nGpxUy

Our N5 and H Drama pupils had an amazing day at the Edinburgh Fringe. From award winning plays to experimental theatre and immersive sensory events - a truly unique experience!

[EIS @EISUnion]

The Scottish Government and COSLA have run out of time, after years of stalling and obfuscation. They must now produce their plan for delivery of this commitment, then they must move at a rapid pace to actually deliver it.

The best way to support your colleagues before term starts? Vote YES YES in the workload ballot! ✊

A strong mandate sends a clear message: workload must change and the reduction in CCT must be delivered #SU4QE

So bittersweet to finish up my final placement at Largs Academy, I’ll miss it dearly! So thankful for all the support from the MFL department and everyone who welcomed me so kindly 💕 2 of my pupils gifted me this wee flower plaque, such a special moment that I’ll never forget!🥹
