@schoolgoverning Is a 25% cut over four years really saying a saving of 1/4 of 4 x annual costs, or does it mean only a 6% per annum saving?

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

Struggling to know how much to intervene and how much to let go. I think I'm just looking for a bit more structure around things.

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

@josepicardo Only that you really need to give it a go to get it - it's difficult to explain. Tell him to live dangerously & try it!

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

@mwarne ha, ha, or is that a KS2 maths question - "so what is the capacity of my bladder" !! ;-)

RT @Marthalanefox: cost of educ every child in developing world = approx 1/6th of total of iraq war: http://bit.ly/o62S6

Absolutely fuming - valuable member of our Gov Body removed & no consultation. She's LA Gov, so they can, but not in best interests of kids

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

Unless there is more to this story, suspending a teacher for offering to pray for a sick child is astonishing http://bit.ly/8WsiW1

@schoolgoverning We've been open today too - it can be a tough call at 6am though!

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

Spent the morning in school - first in SIP meeting (good shared understanding all 'round) & then (finally) signing off our FMSiS submission

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

@PJ Isn't it that school is not a public place - photog'phy of school from road (ie public place) is OK but if in school grounds, can say no

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

@mustaenkeli I would contact your local schools directly, I suspect you'll get a much more positive response.

....there was a magical kingdom where everyone was happy and everyday was filled with fun. #hashtagnarrative

@josepicardo Did you find out? Google unusually didn't seem to throw much light on it

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

On subject of passenger governors - they ceased being volunteers the day they were elected & made a commitment RT @schoolgoverning -like it!

Ofsted has come in for a lot of criticism lately but this BBC article I thought particularly interesting http://bit.ly/66mE8l

@GovernorMike Confusion abounds - our LA produced this advice http://bit.ly/8d0gjs but perhaps the regulations have changed more recently?

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

@GovernorMike Here we go from the FMSiS site - http://bit.ly/5dY9X2 - not a primary document I was hoping for but 3.16 does seem to confirm

[School Governor @NBSTGovernor]

@GovernorMike Actually my understanding was that Nursery were excluded from compulsory FMSiS (not sure I have a link though)

Was genuinely surprised and disappointed at last night's meeting to be told the first Federation in the Trust has now been created
