I live and work in Cheltenham with my husband and two sons. I am a Headteacher of a primary school.

@PieCorbett Sad to read this, she was also a tutor of mine at Homerton.

@a_reflective As a headteacher I read a picture book to the whole school at the end of every Friday and would love to share a copy.

@Headteacherchat @CatherineJNyman Not just for safeguarding purposes, for health and preventative work,

@thosethatcan Yes of course, Will Jenkins.

@thosethatcan It would have to be the Cub leader for our local group who goes above. Amazing activities and was inventive with Zoom meetings during Covid and he sent them all a laser printed on wood badge for that year.

Took a group Year 5 from my school to the first Worcester School debating comp, so proud as they won their round. Thanks to @campbellclaret for the gift of your new book, I told them who you were and some were reading it while waiting but can’t share the pics. @voice21oracy

@Headteacherchat No it is becoming ridiculous, social care, online safety, sleep, dental health, device control, parenting, table manners trying to instil any interest in hobbies or interests as due to interest or money the go to is a device for enjoyment, babysitting nothing else takes place.

@rachelburden @bbc5live As a primary Head they cause problems, parents in the most part just hand them a phone, no restrictions. Arguments that can be left till the morning in person continue for hours via WhatsApp. Most adults find social media challenge, why do they hand a phone freely to their child.

@melissacreate15 @Headteacherchat We trialled a over night space camp with Year 4 this year, pop up tents, space themed activities and film, looking at the stars with a telescope and another paid residential would be expensive or too much for some children.

@gayle_fletcher5 Absolutely!
