@kateowbridge Or my current.

@PrimaryCoHead Threenagers! They’re something else 😜

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@primaryteachew @daandydan Tebay is fab. We always get food to bring home from there too 😂

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@primaryteachew @WR03GRY We don’t like Keele, we always do Stafford Southbound as an alternative. Mainly as it had a playground when the kids were little but now because it’s clean and the Costa is good :-)

@OwenPGCE @lifeatthenest This is KS2!

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@the_VHT I get 1.5 hours per week. 16 on register and 5 EHCPs…not enough time 😬small school so also 3 subjects to lead.

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@redgierob @_MissieBee @TeacherTapp I don’t get a half day, I get an hour one day and an hour and a half another, both trapped in the middle of the day. No spare rooms to work other than one also being used for intervention…it’s not great.

@l1zz1eemma @dave_mcpartlin @LizDayTQY Sorry, didn’t mean right to choose. I mean is ADHD360 nationwide. I know some private providers only work in certain areas.

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@l1zz1eemma @dave_mcpartlin @LizDayTQY That’s helpful thank you. Is that a national service? We’re Lancs.

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@dave_mcpartlin @LizDayTQY Adult son asked about right to choose but GP said they can’t share care for prescriptions with anyone other than NHS route which is currently citing 3+ years. Are you choosing medication can I ask and have you got a shared care agreement with a non NHS prescriber?

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@SirWillum @tes Hell no! It takes 3 weeks to recover in the summer and 2 weeks of being in planning/doing displays/sorting subject leader priorities for the next year.

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@dazmoll @ianaddison Not just poorer families. We can’t afford that and we’re both teachers!

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@MrMetacognition Sometimes yes, especially if you put them into already boiling water…but that is a must for a properly dippy egg.

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@primaryteachew Yes, my mum still does mine and made one for my hubby when we got married and then my children. As a family we all have one too, delivered to my now adult children in the night still too!

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@ineedanothernap Our son has medication for his and he’s much happier. He says it calms his brain, turns everything down and helps him focus on what matters.

@gfreeman2012 @Royal_Greenwich @LancashireCC Can you share who can do that for less, cheapest I have is £1200?

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@gfreeman2012 @Royal_Greenwich @LancashireCC Yes but current plan is to say they’re overwhelmed & to ask schools to do that themselves if they don’t want SA delay. Then offer £1K which doesn’t cover it so schools, or worse, parents are offering or feel obliged to pay the rest of the cost. 20 week deadline currently doubled

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@gfreeman2012 @Royal_Greenwich @LancashireCC Oh they do, challenge it & they concede every time, but wonder how many schools they get away with it at. Also asking schools to sort EP advice for SA & offering £1K refund rather than full cost also ridiculous. If they don’t have EPs, should commission private EPs themselves.

[AStaroftheWeek @AStaroftheweek]

@gfreeman2012 @Royal_Greenwich @LancashireCC Lancashire always try the £10K first too in the hope you’ll accept it. Not too speedy in the backdating of funding to when a plan should’ve been issued rather than the 7 months late they’re currently managing too. Current SEND inspection so hoping people are having their say.
