Wishing a wonderfully restful summer break to all the phenomenal staff in our schools. You have gone beyond any expectation in caring for our children, their families, our community & each other. We are all so proud of Torbay’s schools & the great support from our LA. Thank you.

Proud to take part in the Clapping for Carers tonight and include all the staff still caring for children in our schools, in that tribute.

There isn’t one of our schools that has been anything but ‘outstanding’ this week. Let’s raise a glass or teacup to all the magnificent staff who work in our schools and continue to do a brilliant job helping the country to recover from this crisis by caring for its children 👍🏼

A group from TAPS schools having a fascinating day @BurntAshSchool looking at how their ‘outstanding’ curriculum development affects the learning. Really inspirational!

Congratulations to everyone at Watcombe. They have received a letter this week from Nick Gibb for their outstanding maths (100%) and writing (100%) results (which were moderated!) placing them in the top 1% of schools in the country for attainment in these areas.

Should break times be longer? With such an emphasis on mental health and wellbeing, are we squeezing out the vitally important time when children learn all those important social skills?

Check out Brene Brown's Ted Talk on The Power of Vulnerability. When thinking about our own wellbeing and the huge expectation on leadership, this is revealing.
