@armstrongj73 @BrentwoodTownFC @SUFCRootsHall Not sure if you’re sorted now but my partner is going today and has two spare tickets. Only looking for face value.

@SPBeale I have! It was well worth the hype, imo. My friend went for a Sunday roast and equally liked it.

Shadow education secretary @bphillipsonMP said:
“The Education Secretary needs to tell parents how many schools are affected, whether their children are safe at school, and just what on earth is going on.”

The Government offer:
1. To fully implement the STRB recommendations: a 6.5% increase from 1 Sept on all pay points & allowances.
2. Extra funding for schools to pay for it of £900m per annum *
3. A set of commitments – agreed with the PM – to measures to reduce teacher workload

@greg_jenner I think the problem is the streaming platform that it is on. I love Ted Lasso but I only got into it after a 6 month free trial with Apple TV, which I’ll be cancelling next week. If it was on Netflix, I’d say this would be a different story.

The latest teachers strike in England is today. 3 mins on what's happened to teachers' pay since 2012. The average teachers' salary has reduced in real terms - and more so than some other professions. Produced by Michael Cox, Rob England, Robert Cuffe. https://t.co/Kg3nSo3agh

Back to school today and reflecting on a successful Berlin trip with the Year 10 and Year 11 historians. It was our first Berlin trip since 2019, so it was good to be back away with them! #historyteacher #Berlin

@thefrozensea Thank you!

Day one of an Ofsted inspection completed, with a History Deep Dive thrown in for good measure. Question is… what takeaway should I get tonight? 😅🤪

There’s an excellent video on @BBCBreakfast this morning, about @BartsHospital 900th birthday. It would be great for our GCSE Historians, looking at its development since 1123. I hope that this will be available on the BBC website later… a great revision piece! #historyteacher

So pleased to have been accepted onto the @HolocaustUK teacher study trip to Munich in May. It’s been a few years since I attended a study trip with the organisation, so i’m looking forward to visiting a new city with them!

For those who are confusing the issue, a teacher strike has absolutely nothing to do with how you feel about your SLT. The strike is about frustration, hurt and overwhelming upset over GOVERNMENT failure and a degradation of our profession by them. Not your SLT.

[Miss Gunnell @missgunnell]

@Lyndsey1408 @MsQuinnHistory Me too!! No idea where they got my email address from but I’ve blocked them as well.

[Miss Gunnell @missgunnell]

@CBealesTeach Both! You’ll fly through them and then want more. Well, that’s whatever happens when I read them anyway! 😂

[Matilda Martin @matilda__martin]

Our first battlefields day trip since 2019 took place yesterday. A reminder of how special this trip is and how much the students get from the day. Same again next Friday!
