Have you heard of teaching staff hardship grants?

Financial support for people who have worked in education sector > 5 yrs

The Teaching Staff Trust grants help through times of financial trouble - they approve 9/10 grant applications.

It was an honour to be in #Skipton today to watch Parish CE Primary re-enact the Queen's Coronation. The town cheered as the "Queen", who received a crown made out of bucket and pudding bowl, travelled up the High Street on a @ThwaitesBrewery cart!

TikTok has issued new guidance explaining the best way to report any abuse that teachers or leaders are subjected to on its platform: https://t.co/cX1nuVnrlA

@SchoolsWeek deserve a huge thank you for highlighting @tiktok_uk's inaction as they've repeatedly ignored schools' requests to remove videos about teachers.

@JamesCarr_93 has helped remove some shockers as part of their story. 👏👏👏

Love being a trustee @consiliumat and seeing what our academies are doing to support their communities.

Well done @WyvernAcademy for this slightly unusual way of encouraging people to #StayHomeSaveLives. Cracking for teacher wellbeing too.

Hope you’re all ready to kick start another week of remote learning!... 👍🏻
Thanks to Miss Cox for coordinating this 👏

[Ben Peck @didducomms]

It is just an idea to try and help out in a small way.

Have a look. If anyone has anything to share or offer - whether that be best practice, guidance or resources - then let us know and we will see if we can create a decent resource for school leaders to use.

The last few weeks have been like no other.

Lots of people are sharing lots of good things, however, it is getting lost in. Our website simply aims to pull all the good things there are to help schools through Covid.

@JohndickensSW This is great news. It is what all school recruitment organisations should be doing.....

[John Dickens @JohndickensSW]

Hopefully this will help will any recruitment problems caused further down the line #doingourpart

Are you looking to step up into Headship. Take a look at this vacancy at Nutgrove School, St Helens. It has the most amazing children and staff!

Brian the Lion has been returned to us safely. He is a little muddy following his landing in a field but is safe and well. The children are looking forward to being reunited with him in classes this afternoon.

This is one small step for a mascot, but a giant leap for @WLMPrimary.

@astro_timpeake you would be very proud of our lion! @NASA has come to #wigan.

Just a thought: Which should be considered more “marginal” - believing in Santa at age 7 or not believing in climate change at age 72?
