@MrB_online @Headteacherchat I can highly recommend Louise Hitchen @134marketing generally and I’m sure she’d be able to put you in touch with someone who could help with this if you’re not already sorted

@ForrestGov @ruthagnew @ExCeLLondon And thinking I should be there too to catch up with you both!! Have a good day and look forward to hearing about it 🙂

For anyone out there who thinks 'living with Covid' means 'Covid has gone', here's an insight into what it's like across our schools and colleges - an email from a secondary head received in the last ten minutes. I get messages like this constantly.
And a government in denial.

[Ros McMullen @RosMcM]

I am hearing some very worrying reports from headteachers about the current surge in COVID cases. This needs to be picked up by the media - it’s bad @BBCNewsnight @Channel4News

[IGovS @IGovS1]

Delighted to announce that Independent Governor Support (IGovS) is now up & running. IGovs was set up by ex-NLGs & exists to provide free & impartial support to school governors & trustees, a service we feel would have been lost had we not acted.

I've spent the morning digging around the Diverse Educators website, aligning the NPQ suite to DEI. It really is a thing of beauty and I highly encourage all of us to follow @DiverseEd2020 DEI should be at the core of all we do - it's not a bolt on! https://t.co/m19IefPWmU

“Perhaps most dispiriting, amid a widening gap between advantaged & disadvantaged children, is that the secretary of state thinks tinkering with structures, issuing surveys and fixating on mobile phones are any part of the solution”: my comments @ASCL_UK: https://t.co/XjxjV0CTjj

[Ann Haydon @HeadHarrowHK]

⁦@CStewartSHS⁩ .. what was I saying about taking risks ?

[Dr Maria O’Neill @Maria0Neill]

Thank you so much for another review. I am so happy that my research and experience are being used to nurture #proactivepastoralcare .

[Stephen Bourne @blackpoppies14]

To my horror I named as one of the 'academics & individuals' who was consulted by the Commission on Race & Ethnic Disparities. I wonder how many others were consulted without their knowledge?

[Julie McCulloch @juliecmcculloch]

JCQ guidance on determining GCSE, AS and A level grades this year just published. We'll be including a summary of key points in this afternoon's newsletter to @ASCL_UK members, followed by a webinar next week https://t.co/xTiBIwmLI1
