When you receive an anonymously donated book to your school and this is the book that has been sent 😍 @RobGMacfarlane @JackieMorrisArt

@cherylanne101 @WhisperingBob @wardthomasmusic @breland So glad they had a great trip. It was so lovely to meet them 💛 Perhaps we'll bump into each other at next year's festival! @C2Cfestival is the best weekend of the year!

.@whisperingbob @wardthomasmusic @breland Margaret and Colin are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They've come from Lowestoft and are sitting next to me. It's their first time at C2C. Please give them a shout out when you come out ❤️ #country2country

@pauldixtweets Would love this but can't DM you!

@ImogenM16 @jonnybid @kashleyenglish @TeresaCremin @HollyIrving19 @uksla A3 The best reading role models I see are open about what kind of reader they are themselves. They talk about own book preferences & find joy in asking children about theirs too. They personalise it & show that reading is part of being human, not just being at school #UKLAChat

@jenmarzetti1 Hahaha I know! Shocking!! But I wasn't going to waste time setting up a photo shoot 🤣

Lencioni: 'If someone were to offer me one single piece of evidence to evaluate the health of an organisation, I would want to observe the leadership team during a meeting'

[Cressida Booth @HeadsInABook]

@mr_rushby @MrTs_NQTs It may be controversial but I've never given prizes for sweepstakes 🤷‍♀️ They all get excited about 'their' country and it becomes a lovely focus for part of the day. Then we clapped or congratulated the person who had picked the winner. This also may not be controversial at all.

Blooming love Mary! @Miss_M_Appleby 🦕

@TwinklSLT @Gemma_Drinkall Make sure they know they need to say no more. I didn't realise that I found it hard to say no. I just always said yes because I was being adaptable. A colleague told me I needed to say no more and the realisation dawned. Different POV maybe but we have to look out for each other.

[Cressida Booth @HeadsInABook]

@nourishworkplce @TwinklSLT I agree. There's a lot about setting the example by doing. But if there's a member of staff who struggles to switch off/let go, then they won't see the example. Mary Myatt's 'Done is better than perfect' blog post was shared by @TeacherTapp & I have shared with others since.

Great #PrimaryRocks tonight. Thanks @gazneedle and @PrimaryRocks1 you really got us all thinking on a Monday evening!

[Cressida Booth @HeadsInABook]

@mrlev @Headteacherchat @DeputyGrocott We do. Based in Guildford, Surrey.

[Cressida Booth @HeadsInABook]

@PrimaryRocks1 It's all about taking inspiration from people along the way - whether that's added to the 'I want to do' list or 'Absolutely not' list #PrimaryRocks

[Cressida Booth @HeadsInABook]

@PrimaryRocks1 Definitely more than one person! My mum was a teacher so I probably followed in her footsteps (despite her telling me not to). Met an inspirational HT during a PGCE school placement, then opposite in NQT year. Definitely a lot of what not to do there and has shaped my vision.
