Newsround has been a staple of children’s television since the year I was born. It’s throughly depressing that the BBC have decided to axe it from the teatime schedules. With so much fake news around this is a really regressive step. #savenewsround https://t.co/Xd4iNQP9Ug

Very true, the system is complex, expensive and unsustainable both for parents and employers https://t.co/Aadw2yFFnc

If only it was that simple, mental well-being needs time, knowledge and a personalised focus #learningshared

Losing weight is hard but with some small changes we can all feel fitter and healthier.

If we all do our bit, we can reduce our health risks and protect ourselves against coronavirus – as well as taking pressure off the NHS.

Time.... ‘time’ to lead, time for initiatives, ‘time’ for workload.... as we recover to the ‘new normal’, I encourage leaders to see their SDP and expecatations as time #recoverycurriculum
