Does your SDP clearly set out how to review the impact of your actions? How effective are your school self-review activities? What is the impact on staff workload and well-being? If you'd like to talk about how I can support you with this please get in touch.

Some interesting views here.

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

Monday-Thursday 8.40am-3.40pm (no meetings before or after school)
Friday 8.40am-2.40pm and then staff meetings to end the week.

What do you think of this school schedule?

I've written a children's book. I think it's pretty cool: based on walks in the the woods with my daughters. Fairy tale meets neolithic weirdness with hard choices about how to grow up.
Despite everything I've written I know little about what to do next. Pretty sure I need an agent. Can anyone recommend one?

Important research paper includes evidence from Alternative Big Listen and confirms our belief that a major overhaul is required. Amending Toolkits won't be sufficient to address fundamental weaknesses in the process and unlikely to win back lost trust. https://t.co/BgpwJKckfa
