@globalhlthtwit@globalhlthtwit We will remember Celia, and your dad, as always kind and supportive to us in Forest Hill and at SWOY. May she rest in peace.
@gfreeman2012 Just contact the General Register Office in Ireland (online). You just need to know their name and place of birth! I even got my grandmother’s first name wrong - she is actually Bridget not Della as I knew her and they worked it out! Very efficient!
@Headteacherchat We do a carousel of How to workshops one eve in July for parents - Numicon, Phonics, Bedtime reading, Learning outdoors, Parental involvement and Community. Our PTA provide wine and beer. We give parents a book, a Numicon set and a Phonic card set to go home with! Works well!
We must do better, we must reform the system that monitors our schools so that inspections have a therapeutic not detrimental effect on staff and practices. Please, please sign the petition to compel parliament to debate the issue here:

@branwenjeffreys@bbclaurak As a HT of 18yrs & having taught at my school for 30yrs, a judgement of RI would have been devastating. The inspector suggested that might be the case on day 1, and in the end we were graded OS in 4/5 areas and Good overall. Stressful and horrible experience. My 5th inspection.
Amanda Speilman told @bbclaurak that feedback told her that leaders found Ofsted a positive and affirming experience.
If you are a school leader and you have been inspected under the new framework did you find it positive and affirming?
Ofsted has to change. For all our sakes. https://t.co/zL5FhZ8Kr6 > I don't think AS has the faintest idea how her organisation affects some people, shaming by design. @UKLabour needs to get in and ditch grades asap.
Are you a parent of a school age child?
Do you trust and/or value the #ofsted one word judgement of a current or potential school?
Please RT for greatest reach.
@Dr_Pam_Jarvis@bbclaurak@BBCNews@YorksBylines@BylineTimes I wish @bbclaurak had read this article and referenced it in her chat with @Ofstednews
Thank you for bringing it all together - there are many more stories to tell and even if the outcome of an inspection is positive, the build up and experience is stressful for everyone!
