Ex Headmaster at Kew House School, West London, now blissfully retired and living in Cornwall. Views expressed are my own or others of interest.

@KewHouseHmn @Thomas_Telford A truly exceptional school, proud to have spent 17 years there. Lunch with Sir Kevin next week. Kew House taking the best practices forward.

Who will you thank this National #ThankaTeacherDay?

A teacher, caretaker, someone in reception, or anyone in the school community who’s gone above and beyond? Whoever they are, now’s the time to say thank you...

Here in this lone cavern by the Sea
Let the wild waves around me roar
Kissing my lips for evermore “

Astonishing how the deliberate wilful negligence by the previous government has led to the marginalisation of the creative curriculum and decimation of teacher supply - with the most ‘disadvantaged’ children once again suffering most…

[MHudson @markhudkhs]

@RNLI A flurry?

Disappointing that thousands of headteachers work intelligently, with intensity and with dignity each day yet the media continually projects KB as offering some form of insight for the sector.

Given that a clear majority now think Brexit was a daft idea, I don’t understand why the government still support it.

[Holocaust Memorial Day Trust @HMD_UK]

#OnThisDay in 1945, Soviet soldiers liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and death camp. It is now a symbol of what can happen when hatred is left unchecked.

Today, we commemorate #HolocaustMemorialDay on the 80th anniversary of the liberation.

@englishspecial There genuinely hasn’t been a proper plan for over 15 years. TDA did at least try and do something although were often short of ideas. Nick Gibb was questioned at the select committee on D&T recruitment and bizarrely said the new GCSE would sort it…

The 1980s offered a vision of the future, in 2025 it may well arrive… a blog on the Integration of AI in Education: Equitable Challenges and Opportunities for Personalisation, Policy and Pedagogy. https://t.co/qihaLDb3oe

The 2010 Act allowed non-qualified teachers into #FreeSchools and academies. But parents largely unaware. Few schools take that risk, but @toadmeister thinks it's okay. Not sure what he would make of an unqualified surgeon or accountant. @SianGriffiths6 @thetimes @MuddyStilletos

The biggest event in December.. the Christmas lunch! Pupils having lunch as tutor groups. This is when we are reminded just how important vertical tutor grps are. This group has 4 sets of siblings but the whole group has a sense of family. #special @KewHouseSchool

Tim Marshall ⁦@RGS_IBG⁩ explains why and how we need to start regulating #space fast.

[Neil Roskilly @NeilRoskilly]

Some seek headship for status, and end up keeping the seat warm for the next person. There are too many of those in the private schools sector. In contrast, servant leaders empower others to place children at the heart of all they do. This is a job for the latter.
