@SimonKnight100 Not as disastrous but as an inclusive 1 form entry primary school with over 10% EHCP and significant numbers of support staff. the governments figures do not add up. Huge unfunded cost, rise does not match cost. Being inclusive is being punished by @educationgovuk@GillianKeegan

Today is the winter solstice - the first day of the season. So here is a thread of the most beautiful paintings of winter:
The Hunters in the Snow by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1565)
Raglan Road, an old Irish tune best known for the words put to it by Patrick Kavanagh, President Biden’s favourite poet. From his ancestral home on Ireland’s west coast, happy 80th birthday to @JoeBiden
Girl with a Pearl Earring, painted by Vermeer in 1665, might just be the most famous and beloved portrait in the world.

The beauty of this photo is knowing that behind every student is an inspiring teacher who proceeds to navigate a struggling child to overcome their personal barriers. If you’re a teacher reading this, thank you for going into a profession to change a child’s life for the better
