@thosethatcan I interviewed during Covid lockdown, and I could see the plans in place for staff and students to be kept as safe as possible. This showed me the head and SLT cared. This care has shone through in the last 4 years.

@EveHart Oooh I bet that's amazing!

@merrillteaches Congratulations 🎊

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@DeputyGrocott Sadly not on holidays yet! Today though is a family day with my parents and my boys.

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@MatthewCBurton Aw look forward to it. My mum taught many of the pupils before they made it there in the original series.

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@SimonKnight100 Fantastic! I've been in my current school 4 years, previous one 15 and another 3 years in mainstream before that. The right workplace environment really matters, doesn't it?

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@mrlockyer Hope it's positive experience. We had them in May and it was for a change!

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@Sue_Cowley Shame they didn't fancy mentioning a few home truths. There's a lot I'd like to say to him.

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@oldandrewuk The ability to make them stop doing what they are doing without saying a word. #teacherstare

@TheHeadsOffice 3 good things?
1. My temperature has come down
2. Managed to be well enough to vote
3. Exit poll

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@BP_Bryony We don't have a dog, so Joe took the small child with him instead!

[Nichola @Nichola80]

If you haven't been out to vote yet, please do! You've got just less than 3 hours to do it. If you can't decide who you hate the least, then spoil your ballot or if you hate one, vote for the party that stands the best chance of stopping them! Just please use your vote. #Election

Had a fab night in Chorlton watching @ManchesterVocal with friends. Some beautiful arrangements with top quality singing in a great little venue.

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@SimonKnight100 @tes @Oldprimaryhead1 @simontanner_SEN Aw lovely. 9 years ago one of my good friends won the lifetime achievement award for her work in Special. Same school for 39 years!

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@ajjolley Wow!

@MrMountstevens @danicquinn Having excellent recall in class and in my essays, I just couldn't store it all for 2 final exams and messed up big time. Predicted B, got an E.

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@MrMountstevens @danicquinn I dunno, I guess it depends what the learning was and how useful it is in your next step! E.g. my Performing Arts A level was modular. It had to be, it covered 3 disciplines and performance elements. My Classics A level was 2 final exams with so much content I struggled despite..

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@MrMountstevens @danicquinn But I voted can't answer as never taught exam classes!

[Nichola @Nichola80]

@MrMountstevens @danicquinn I don't teach exam level (I'm a special school teacher) but I did get that Q as they class me as secondary as that's how old my class are. I found modules easy as I had very knowledge heavy subjects and the ones I had to save 2 years worth of knowledge were much harder to retain
