@RetirementTales ‘So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye’… altogether now for Sound of Music end of term performance- now where are Geoff and Margaret? They’ve escaped!
Thanks for everything, you kept us going through the Covid times and brought back lots of happy memories for us. Goodbye X

[Geoff and Margaret @RetirementTales]

The bulb in the overhead projector has blown.

The Banda copier is out of ink.

The big TV is playing up.

The Coomber has gone off to be repaired.

And now it's time for us to go too.

Thank you for your company. It's meant more than you'll ever know.
God bless you all.

We have a few more posts to share over the next few weeks, and there will be a final celebratory Friday Virtual Pub Lunch, at a date to be confirmed. Everyone's invited!

We hope you'll join us for a final spell of nostalgia & a final round of Babycham.

G & M,
Rutland

"Requires Attention."
Schools with high FSM are far more likely to sit under that label in the new Ofsted framework, especially the Achievement section.
Daft thing is, it already has our attention. It always will.
Poverty requires attention. Hunger requires attention. Trauma requires attention.
A judgement that ignores all of that - and then penalises the people giving their lives to the cause?
That requires attention too.

On #SchoolGovDay the #BigQuestions team would like to thank all those wonderful people who govern our schools. Sherry Anderson said it best!

“Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.”
