First year out of the SATs madness and I don’t miss it at all.
The GCSE and A Level administration at my new school is so stress free. The dream 🥰 thoughts are with my primary colleagues! Y6 is hard!

This afternoon I stood out in the paddock with a couple of students, throwing a ball on the grass for our gorgeous golden retriever and therapy dog in the sun and I thought back to what I would have been doing in mainstream 2 months ago. So proud and pleased I got out 🥰❤️

[Mrs M✏️ @MrsMKS4]

First week in an independent specialist setting and all I can say is wow what a difference to state mainstream. Absolutely love my new role and my new school! 😊
