@OctopusEnergy getting very frustrated with the lack of response to simple complaint - been nearly 3 weeks, lots of emails and no resolution. Disappointed with your award-winning customer service 😢

We are now tutoring 750 state school kids EVERY week to increase the number & diversity of excellent mathematicians. We are super keen to hire a few more tutors (online). Can you spare 3 hrs or more per week, £27.50/h. Pls send note & CV to [email protected]

@msapplebya @ThePiXLNetwork @Headteacherchat @WomenEd I think I found it quite user friendly & it didn’t crash as much as SIMs had in last school? We’ve just gone from SIMs to Bromcom in my new school, & I don’t find it as intuitive.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Remarkable fact:

Average teacher pay is about the same today in real terms as it was in 2001.

Average pay across the economy is about 18% higher than in 2001.

@heymrshallahan @miss_mcinerney My small children are desperate for me to pick them up from school, so this would enable me to be there for them once a week. Huge. I know I work above and beyond, but am directed to be on site for all PPA.

I have a spare ticket going for Hightide’s ‘Ghost Stories by Candlelight’ 9.30pm tonight @The_Globe Sam Wanamaker if anyone can use it.

@mrlev I’m a (mature) ECT in secondary. Trained P-T as I have 2 young kids. Still work 50+hrs. Start a new FT post in Sept. Politely asked if 1 PPA could be at the end of the day allowing one weekly school pick up as son starts school. Told bluntly that all PPA must be on site. 😔

[Jennifer Burraston @burraston]

@DeputySchofield @WomenEd Just turned 40 & in my 1st ECT year. Previously an actress & administrator - happy to help if useful.

[Jennifer Burraston @burraston]

There was spontaneous applause in my Y7 classes today, as Michael Rosen popped up on a film about The Globe. Shouts of ‘Chocolate Cake!!’ Being a new teacher almost broke me yesterday, but kids ❤️ books. Whatever they say. Thanks @MichaelRosenYes

@katejlovell Wish wish wish we could catch it - my daughter adores Totoro. Really hoping it transfers 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

[Jennifer Burraston @burraston]

@beckyph7 Soooo good.

[Jennifer Burraston @burraston]

@beckyph7 🙌🏻 ho ho ho 😂

[Jennifer Burraston @burraston]

@EllieJaneTaylor Yes Ellie! 🙌🏻 Ace to see you smashing it lovely - (ps. my daughter adored the Hocus Pocus reference, so turns out it *was* worth watching it in half term, despite the “Mummy, what’s a virgin?” conversation)

If this sounds like you then we’d love to hear from you! #casting #castingcall #comedy

We're on the search for new talent to join our Pantomime family this Christmas in Tonbridge and gravesend. Please Share and spread the word.

@Kiran_MH Ugh. That’s awful. We’re really hoping you might consider visiting our school in Kent next term (?🤞🏻😬). I do hope the rotten behaviour of some won’t put you and others off…

[Jennifer Burraston @burraston]

One of the joys of teacher training has been discovering amazing new YA fiction, writers and illustrators. Such a treat to meet @Kiran_MH and Tom de Freston @theamelia_tw last week, discussing their gorgeous collaboration #Juliaandtheshark (I’m afraid I’ve DMd as promised 🙈)
