@abidare_author I have just finished the Audible of The girl with the louring voice. What an amazing and haunting book. I can imagine it being made into a film - everyone needs Adunni in their lives. Thank you. Xx

@TheVirginHeadt1 I think I have met that inspector 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[Becky Black @Oldblackbird74]

@Jeniharvey So very very sorry to hear this. Sending deepest sympathies. You must be very proud of her amazing work. Xx

Literally you’ve done nothing. Heads, SLTs, teachers in fact all staff are keeping schools open.

You haven’t even funded the increasing cost being incurred in keeping schools open and staffed.

Agree they should be open but don’t even try to take credit for it.

One of the most powerful ways we can modify children’s behaviour is by demonstrating to them how to act. They are novice behavers; many of them need explicit, guided instruction about interacting with civility, kindness, cooperation. That’s why high-status role models matter

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

Retweet if you agree...

No school should be out of pocket for keeping school safe or keeping children in school when staff are isolating.

All extra COVID costs for supply etc should be covered by @educationgovuk

@LeadingLearner This is our school vision statement. 🥰

[Becky Black @Oldblackbird74]

@chrisdysonHT @educationgovuk I was super excited at the prospect of 17. That will clearly go down. 😔😔😔😔

@mrsfiburns How did it go? Xx

@MissZWood It shows you care. Xx

@MichaelT1979 @emmccatt Miptor days seem so very easy now.

@nikkigamble @tompalmerauthor @BarringtonStoke I regularly recommend Tom’s books in school- always accompanied by a ‘have I told you he visited my old school and did a penalty shoot out in the hall!’ Some of my lads think I am slightly cooler because of this!! It hooks them though!

@Michael54714895 What a wise, kind and generous man he was. Always a sensible and knowledgable answer and a calm presence in what can be an overwhelming and scary world (headship). He will be so very missed. Thinking of you all who loved him dearly. Thank you for sharing him with so many. X

[Becky Black @Oldblackbird74]

@ajjolley @LeadingLearner @mm684 He was so generous with his time, wisdom and knowledge. A huge loss to so many.
