@emreadsthebooks Will do.

I’m ready, I think. It’s my big summer read…

[Stephen Kinsley @skinsley92]

@emreadsthebooks Amazing - added to the list!

My next book is A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

@mattdechaine Look after the staff. Make sure people have the/ coffee and snacks

[Stephen Kinsley @skinsley92]

For my work I regularly visit Chichester and Eastbourne, where we have offices, from my home in St Albans.

It’s really satisfying to now bounce between @LibDems held seats. Makes it seem that little bit brighter 🔶

First day back after 5 weeks of adoption leave.

Very strange having so long off, but ready to go!

Very surreal, but outstandingly lovely.

@accidentalSBM Required equipment or voluntary accessory?

This #Pride2024 is a little different to the others…

This time it’s me, @harrydotcom_ + one other special little person

We are looking for our new SBM at one of our schools in West Sussex @SBLconnect @SBLjobs @sbl_community
The school is in a period of rapid improvement and this is a genuinely unique opportunity to really make a huge difference.

@R_L_Younger @sbl365 @SBLconnect Same lump sum as the previous 2 years, given the huge jump in the national living wage that was announced a few weeks ago.
Had originally assumed a slightly lesser lump sum

[Stephen Kinsley @skinsley92]

Low level concern reporting… how are different MATs and Schools approaching this?

We need a better approach that allows clearer centralised oversight?
Are there alternatives to Confide out there?

@HollyBea10 @WomenEd @CharteredColl @TheNCE_ @AspiringHeads @Ethical_Leader does an excellent courageous conversations course. Part in person, part online.

[Stephen Kinsley @skinsley92]

What a shatteringly beautiful book.
Cannot recommend this enough.

[Stephen Kinsley @skinsley92]

@training_sbm @CherylSBM Yes

Shout out to @AvantiWestCoast - the aircon and free Wi-Fi is a delight

@runningSBM @SBLconnect @SchoolGovNet Yes, there is nothing stopping them doing it but it’s highly irregular.

I’d certainly challenge why if I was aware. Point out it makes them vulnerable to accusation; depending on what it is they are discussing.
