⁦@FootballCliches⁩ read this anticipating a full mind blowing mathematical/scientific reason why Liverpool won the league.
Turns out it was just a coincidence. https://t.co/IbIKaQt1jb

A fantastic outcome for the entire community. Congratulations and well done. 🌟

@jinjmeister @EmiratesFACup Still winter mate. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Simon McCarthy @simonmccarthy]

What better way to end an exceptional week in Enhance than by heading to Anfield for the @EmiratesFACup tomorrow. The ‘89 cup final is the first match I watched all the way through. I was gripped. Not lost its magic for me. Instilling it in Isaac now. #whoarethey?

Excellent session @mrawolfe

[Andy Wolfe FCCT @mrawolfe]

Great to launch the ‘Flourishing Together’ joint paper today with @LeoraCruddas at the @CSTvoice conference - great feedback and sooo many trusts wanting to get involved 👍

[Simon McCarthy @simonmccarthy]

@FootballCliches Just watching Tamworth vs Huddersfield Town.

Tom Tonks (Tamworth) has just been booked. Are there any other such alliterative footballers and clubs or is he the only one?

[Simon McCarthy @simonmccarthy]

Whole @enhance_trust CPD today with the brilliant @QuinnEdDev focusing on metacognition.Metacognition is an education buzz word that many don’t really understand. It’s not just thinking about thinking.Really recommend this training.Great to see our whole teaching staff together.

[Simon McCarthy @simonmccarthy]

@mrandall1977 @Overthorpe_Acad Wow! That looks stunning.

[Simon McCarthy @simonmccarthy]

@mrandall1977 @LeeNSwift82 @KineticLetters @StHelCEPrimary I’ve been promoting it as much as I can through my visits. Having seen it in action, I think it’s very good. Everybody is interested but some school’s can’t afford it at the moment. It’s a shame.

[Simon McCarthy @simonmccarthy]

@mrawolfe @CofE_EduLead We would be interested, Andy. We’ll be in touch next week if that’s ok?
