Surviving in an ever changing education world, noting its a privilege and then escaping on long dog walks for my own sanity! Honesty & Humour Valued :)
@WrexhamSBP Same for me- out of office when on annual leave only. I like the idea of a whole school message on emails stating no expectation for replies outside of core times though π§βοΈ
Just at the point of booking a cheeky last minute week in Tenerife and realised my husbands passport has less than 6 months left on it πππ
Is it OK to find someone else to go with? π
Asking for myself π€£π€£
@ajjolley@FFTEduDatalab Doesn't the protection rules around FSM entitlement end in March too?
Heard little about this recently but many children and families could be impacted.
Was hoping the protection rules had been extended but I cannot find anything....
@TravelodgeUK Way too late though. A room was needed for business purposes yesterday. Luckily there are other companies with more responsive customer service and I am sorted.
@TravelodgeUK how can I speak to someone today?
Tried all of the following:
Called hotel directly- they referred me to Customer Services.
Customer services- referred me to online chat as they can't help.
Online chat- a bot that can't help.
DM on Twitter- no response

@EdRoundtables We would like to plan recruitment of a Sports Apprentice, but reluctant to do so without confirmation of continued funding. Another 2 government policies working against each other.
@joie_nouvelle LA advice is to allow 2% for support staff and no increase for teachers in 21/22. Then to allow 2% for both in following 2 years.
I dont think this will be accurate π€·ββοΈ
@miconm Thank you π
Our LA have fed back to say a number of LA's are awaiting DfE guidance but they expect 189 days for children (194 for staff) π€·ββοΈ
It could be another ammendment to the calendar π π§
Extra bank hol in June 2022. I work F/T so I effectively don't need to book the day off and so benefit from the bank hol. What about teachers and TTW's, do they just not benefit? #sbl#sbm
@sbl365 Just want to be ready to answer the question. I am updating the calendar and a holiday day is now a bank holiday so why aren't they getting the holiday day elsewhere?......simply looking for the right reply π
@DevonSBL I havent because our LA funding formula does not make it explicit. I know it'll be within the deprevation factors built in to the FF but I have no clue how much to equate that to π€·ββοΈ
I need help please with school meals SLA's.... after taking account of predicted income from paid meals and estimated UIFSM income, the subsidy from my budgets is about Β£20k per school. Is this usual? οΏ½οΏ½πΈ #sbltwitter
@anon_sbm Oh gosh! Don't make any quick decisions. It's tough for all leaders at the mo. Collaboration & communication important in working hours. Wine and gin are important in the evenings π·
Happy to have a chat too if you want to DM, it can feel a lonely place but weve all been there π€
Do any SBMβs know of any experienced SBMβs in the Manchester area who is registered with an agency that would be available from April 21-Feb 22 for maternity cover please? We have been let down at the last minute and we really need someone, please share. π€ππ» #sbm#sbl
