This year we are showing our support for #AntiBullyingWeek through a variety of tutor time activities and an ODD SOCKS DAY on Friday. Simply turn up to school in odd socks & commit to having a conversation with someone else about any of the issues raised by Anti-Bullying Week.

@EnGender_Change @_NatashaDevon “Sell everything you have and give it to the poor.” I’d say that is pretty clear....

[Ms L Smith @MsSmithPGS]

@EnGender_Change @_NatashaDevon And- as a Religious Studies teacher- how can I address the teachings of Jesus, the early Christian community in Acts and Liberation Theology, all of which are required by our A Level spec and are-well- pretty critical of capitalism....?

This newsletter is excellent and hugely thought-provoking. I am really pleased that my @NEU_Pride colleague Manoj gets a mention too- a wonderful champion for diversity and inclusion who we tragically lost earlier this month. Please watch his vid if you can

@HOMS_PGS @PGS1732 Always puts a smile on my face before the weekend seeing so many Middle School pupils enjoying sport in the sunshine 😊

[Ms L Smith @MsSmithPGS]

A lot of things have changed at school, but I’m pleased to report that a sunny day up at Hilsea getting to know Year 7 is still an absolute joy 🥰

@BBC6Music Any 80s dancehall using the ‘Kutchie’ riddim. Like this bad boy.... https://t.co/dyC9y05d3g

@BBC6Music ‘Hit the North’ by the Fall if that’s the direction I’m going in.
For a night drive, the whole soundtrack album ‘Trouble Man’ by Marvin Gaye.

@kateowbridge @hazelmpinner Sensible- it will probably have been edited and updated by then anyway!

@SimonLemieuxpgs I bet he doesn’t like jazz music either.

@pullbuoy Did you now? If you ever want to visit as an OP you would be most welcome. I loved the film you made with Katy and the other stars of Barcelona. Did you know that she likes the colour blue?

[Ms L Smith @MsSmithPGS]

An amazing moment in British sport from Portsmouth Northsea’s finest.

It's the final #20at20 today which takes us to 2003 and the 200m back world title won by @katy_sexton - the first ever world gold for a British lady and a fabulous swim - there's a video and podcast here: https://t.co/ITj9pmDy0F

Our journey to Newfoundland came to an end yesterday and I can reveal that, despite an extremely busy half term so far, we smashed the distance. Exactly how far we got will be revealed shortly...

@mistermatt79 My mother is a redhead. My hair was pretty red growing up but it darkened significantly as I became an adult; it make me feel like I’m missing part of my identity now!
