@SFL2326 I’d love a copy - thanks

Anyone else seriously regretting ordering a takeaway on @Deliveroo on NYE. So hungry!

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@new_primary I think it depends on the size of your school / number of parents likely to be interested. We have 40+ children attending after school club each day and it’s a great source of income for the school. Part of its success is the fact that it’s run by familiar , school staff.

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@chilledteacher That’s outrageous. The amount of time and effort that goes into these cases.
I feel for you.

Off to tribunal next week for a child who is working at Age Related Expectations across the board in Y6. School have never referred to any agencies for SEND; however, parents have gotten an EHCP based solely on private reports and no school input. Now they want special school. 🤦‍♂️

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@LSafeguarding Surely not! 🤷‍♂️

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@MissK4496 @MrTs_NQTs No

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@Bearded_SLT Waiting lists, especially for CAMHS
Also, parents ‘buying’ EHCPs

@ahmedadam03 Thanks Ahmed. I’ve got access to The Key so will have a look!

Receiving a Subject Access Request for all information relating a child who has been with us for 6 years on the last day of term pretty much sums this term up.
With 30 days to respond, inevitably it’s going to involve working over Easter. 😖

Teachers, given the choice for PPA, would you rather:

@frankkilopezzz No idea why it’s so busy 🤷‍♂️
Even if I’d be able to reserve a seat, I doubt it would be possible to get to it anyway.

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@CrossCountryUK I paid £110 for this train journey and am currently sharing the space outside one of the toilets with 14 other adults.
Every seat is full. I still have 2 hours left in this hell hole.

When we have multiple teachers isolating, and our pool of supply teachers is non existent, the last thing I needed this week was 2 parents getting into fist fight in front of their 6 y/o children over a parking space!
Witnessed by many of our pupils 🤦‍♂️

@MichaelT1979 2001….
That’s how it feels anyway

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

Paying our supply costs this month.
At least the DfE will help us with the extra costs… oh wait 🤦‍♂️

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

We currently have 45 cases of Covid in school, including 10 staff.

In a primary school, these numbers are crippling!
We have HEPA filters, daily LFD,enhanced cleaning and separate lunches yet numbers continue to climb
Any suggestions for how else we can protect our community?

[Steven - School Leader 🤷‍♂️📚 @primary_leader]

@johnredwood So what are you actually going to do about it?
We need to cut the head of the snake off now!
