The most amazing man I’ve ever met. I had the pleasure of spending 4 days with him, travelling across Poland visiting memorial sites. He shared his story with such bravery and composure. He will be missed.

We are saddened to hear of the death of Holocaust survivor and one of the Windermere Boys, Harry (Chaim) Olmer, who has passed away at the age of 98.

Born in 1927 in Poland, Harry and his family fled further east to his grandmother’s village of Miechów-Charsznica to escape antisemitic persecution. Conditions here weren’t much better, as Jews were subjected to brutal forced labour.

In 1942, Harry, his brother, and his father, were deported to Płaszów labour camp. Throughout the rest of the war, Harry was sent to three more camps, before arriving at Theresienstadt, in Czechoslovakia, where he was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.

Harry arrived in Britain after the war, where he along with 300 other children were sent to the Lake District to rehabilitate and adjust to life in England. They were known as the Windermere Boys.

He later qualified as a dentist and practised in the profession for over fifty years.

Harry was appointed an MBE in 2023 for his unwavering dedication to Holocaust education over the years. He would regularly visit educational institutions and different communities to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.

May his memory be a blessing.

Even as an adult, the smell of liquid amoxicillin makes me feel physically sick.

@missjredwards Congratulations!

@OhLottie The whole staffing thing in general doesn’t make sense. If/when the funding stops (not that it a lot anyway) those staff who ran it will have to be made redundant from the post. Thus costing the schools more money.

Does anyone know when the application results of the tables checking exercise are out and where we check what was/wasn’t removed? Validated data is mid-Dec. @jpembroke any ideas?

I’ve been on maternity leave since June. I’ve just turned on my laptop as need to download something. Can’t remember the password to log into my laptop. 😭😭😭

@Ria1984 Wow, ok. So, what would they be looking for in the 30mins obs? Relationships, behaviour management I’m guessing?

[PrimaryCoHead @PrimaryCoHead]

Secondary colleagues: A friend of mine is going for a role as a cover supervisor. They want to observe her for 30mins but haven’t asked her to prepare anything. Can anyone shed light on what this will look like? They provide lesson on the day which she just delivers blind?

@LeeBraganza @Matilda2209 I’ve done this before and showed them lots of Banksy stuff and we discussed the meanings behind his work. They then created graffiti art that had a meaning/hidden meaning.

@adamboxer1 Exciting!!! Enjoy it all.

[PrimaryCoHead @PrimaryCoHead]

Four terms… or four half terms. There is a significant time difference between the two. Maybe they could use the correct terminology.

[PrimaryCoHead @PrimaryCoHead]

[PrimaryCoHead @PrimaryCoHead]

Props to staff at my local @AldiUK at the wooden toy event who helped me scan all my items, pushed my trolley to my car and helped me load it all in as I also had baby in the buggy. ❤️

We’ve been dreaming about this moment for 733 days.

We’ve been holding our breath in fear for 733 days.

We’ve been living in agony waiting for 733 days.

But the wait it finally over. Tonight we sleep knowing the nightmare WILL end. Tonight the world got a little brighter again.
