@CMcKinnellMP @unisontheunion Thank you so much for your visit - our support staff felt really valued and thoroughly appreciate your efforts!

[Catherine McKinnell MP @CMcKinnellMP]

School support staff are crucial to our mission to drive high and rising standards in schools, that's why we're reinstating the SSSNB.

So pleased to visit Hawley Primary School to support @unisontheunion Stars in our Schools day, celebrating brilliant school support staff 👏🌟

We now have the first cabinet in history made up entirely of state school educated MPs

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

As part of UNISON's #starsinourschools celebrations @CMcKinnellMP, Minister of State for School Standards, visited Hawley Primary School in Camden to meet the fantastic support staff that keep our schools running everyday.

@SENDMattersUK It’s very welcome. Won’t solve all the problems but we have to be positive about the fact it will make a difference. Broken councils need more support - should go there first.

@Headteacherchat This is definitely still used by our music teacher!

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@MissEmmaTurner Really really love this one too. Always watch it with classes when we begin work on Zones of Regulation ☺️

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@Headteacherchat Our LA trained 2 staff members to be ELSAs - they are a godsend. We bought into @CDPS_Southwark Wellbeing Curriculum for whole class engagement and have seen brilliant discussions and outcomes. We have a great MHST for 1:1 support too - but know we are lucky.

@wendyk101 @Ofstednews Great to hear. The right call for you, your team and your school. Best of luck recruiting now!

Was a more useful tool ever invented than the ‘snipping tool’ on Windows?

@poppygibsonuk What an absolutely amazing opportunity! Is this voluntary? I’d love to visit a school at some point in the holidays, even better if I could go and teach there for a few weeks!

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@SaYear5 @maryrebelo No one better to discuss online safety!

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@missdarby_ It’s such a brilliant course. Enjoy!

I cannot be the only person who gets frustrated that the contestants can’t decide on one spelling for peoples names. How hard can it be to learn the correct spelling of your fellow contestants names 😂😂

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@missm_teachess Let me know how you get on!

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@engl_teach22 On top of that, we’ve also done lots of work with individuals on understanding winning and losing, recognising and managing emotions. Social stories and 1:1 sessions building resilience and regulation.

[Lacey C @laceyc247]

@engl_teach22 Our PE coach does lots of work on drills and has made tweaks to games so that people don’t go ‘out’ when learning and building skills. They build to short games that are timed, so that ch know they won’t be out for long before starting again.

@MrsK_Eng @chiuni @senresourceblog @KarenYW_SEND @SENDMattersUK @WholeSchoolSEND @RMG_SENDCO @MrsSmith_SEND @SendcoThe I would definitely advise making links locally where you can. So much of the guidance varies by LA and it’s great having someone to check in with that can help with the actual people/processes you’ll encounter. It’s such a great course - enjoy!

@Lloyd_SpeakUpMH @MrsVeriTea @pennywpennyw @poppygibsonuk @TeacherPaul1978 DHT and former Y5 and 6 teacher - good to see you back on our feed!
