@Headteacherchat Allow a Feed Forward/Ideas box in the staff room. Also for leadership to be visible, have a Rumour Board, https://t.co/GJWvkvEzwh. Have a hotspot CPD session in staff briefings to recognise/reward great practice.

@tombennett71 What's distracting the children from their learning? Focus on the root causes of lack of engagement in learning and underperformance not on behaviour management.

Behaviour gurus are charlatans selling a magic cure when it starts with empathy and active listening.

@Headteacherchat Tackle root causes of absence, improve:
• transport to school
• ill health absence reporting
• better school meals & healthy breaktime snacks i.e. fresh fruit
• exercise habits through PE, break and extra curricular activities
• pastoral & appoint wellbeing counsellor(s)

@AnnabelDenham1 So you're trusting the current occupant of the White House who has effectively torn up the special relationship and international norms?

@anainsin I see the Brexiteers still feel they have to bang the Brexit referendum drum🥁???

@Strickomaster 👨‍🏫 Schools must do both: enforce clear rules from headteacher down—consistently & robustly. 🚨 Safeguarding? Investigate fully. 📚 Policy/attendance disputes? Boundaries protect staff & ensure real concerns aren’t drowned by noise. ✅ That’s schools doing their JOB!!!

@MsGHist Important to find things that cost little or free to do, otherwise not exercising sufficient self care before the new academic year. Walk in the park, catching up on the reading list, catch a train to a nearby market town or city centre.

Truth and Lie went for a swimming race together. While Truth swam honestly, Lie stole Truth's clothes. Emerging bare, Truth chased Lie everywhere. That's why Lies wear Truth's clothing today.

@Thierrysboots @HJB_News__ You realise that Islam is a religion and not a race! Of course, that's a lack education on your part @Thierrysboots.

@BritainElects @FindoutnowUK This doesn't indicate how a snap general election would turn out as all those votes wouldn't result in more MPs for Reform over the other parties.

[Jay Patel @jayrp88]

@KEdge23 How exactly?

[Jay Patel @jayrp88]

For all those people who have criticised the economic policy of this government, they may need to reconsider: https://t.co/F9cHhi7Qs4

@KEdge23 Neither the Tories nor Reform have credible answers

[Jay Patel @jayrp88]

@anainsin Don't give them any extra publicity.

[Jay Patel @jayrp88]

Notice all the right wing / Tory accounts are quiet about this good news: https://t.co/SyRCWHqcaF

[Jay Patel @jayrp88]

@KEdge23 #PMQs @Conservatives still not asking relevant questions
