Completing my teacher training with @Trinityteach was the best decision ever, and in hindsight @TrinityAcademyH will probably always be the best school Iโve ever worked in. Well done, all. ๐ฅฐ๐๐๐

For the thousandth time - getting children to copy down a learning objective guarantees nothing. Not a sausage - It just wastes time. There is not a jot of evidence that it makes any difference.
@stammer_teacher Iโll always be in favour of following a policy down to the T to achieve consistency, too. So I do even when I donโt agree with them (for things like this) which makes me sad. Are leaders ever going to question if these policies weโre all having to follow are actually a good idea?
@stammer_teacher Iโm always fascinated by people defending detentions for things like this (white socks instead of black socksโฆ Like really????) I absolutely love teaching, but itโs things like this that make me feel really sad about the standard UK education system.
Culture is not just one thing; itโs everything. Culture drives expectation and beliefs. Expectations and beliefs drive behaviors. Behaviors drive habits. And habits create the future. It all starts with culture.
๐ท PG 16 from โThe Power of Positive Leadershipโ
She sat at the back and they said she was
shy
She led from the front and they hated her
pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her
guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her
silence
When she shared no ambition, they said it was
sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was
mad
They told her they'd listen then covered their
ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her
fears
And she listened to all of it, thinking she
should
Be the girl they told her to be, best as she
could
But one day she asked what was best for
herself
Instead of trying to please everyone
else
So she walked to the forest and stood with the
trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the
leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the
pine
And she told them what she'd been told, time after
time
She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek
Then she found a small clearing, surrounded by
firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to
her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to
leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her
breathe

@RishiSunak It is never dogs that are the problem, it is their owners. Do something about illegal dog breeding, dog fighting etc. HELP the dogs. Choose a perhaps more difficult but kind option, instead of this easy and heartless one.
As students wait for their #GCSEs2023 this morning, a reminder of the journey they have gone through the past few years...
