@THORPEPARK All good except appalling service in "Vibes" that included 40m wait and then being served cold food (which we sent back) ruined a great stay and celebration 🙈.. oh and half the rides weren't open to use the fast passes this morning 🤷🏼‍♀️🎢😭

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

When you indulge your husband for his birthday @THORPEPARK it's rollercoaster 🎢 time!!! Tomorrow is fast pass and more coasters 😁

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@THORPEPARK well what a disappointment we have been coming for over 16 years dinner was ordered and arrived 40 mins later COLD happy birthday to my husband NOT! "Just eat" it is a then.... Seriously this is as bad as it was years ago!!! Grrrr.......

@GrandadWheels @EdRoundtables @MrEFinch @maximjkelly @spinalinjuries @backuptrust @sv1 @rossmcwill @PaulGarvey4 @gdmorewood @PrimaryRocks1 definitely the pull cord, but also the soap dispenser is rather high up!

2/2 But before I start I have a couple of weeks at sea for Carnival UK (P&O Cruises & Cunard), returning as part time/seasonal staff, supply teaching for Apple A Day Supply and handover days getting to know the children, staff and parents at St Francis 🥰.

1/2 I am delighted to share that from September I will be joining the team at St Francis School, Pewsey, part of the Inspired Learning Group as the SENCo. I am looking forward to a new role in a wonderful setting, and the shortest commute I have had in the last 15 years!

@Headteacherchat 2/2 ... This is the journey join me, tell me what will help I don't have a 🔮, but we have to make changes, some you won't like, some you will but together we can achieve success, but only as a team. A 'mole' who will also feedback the mutterings 😉is helpful. Open 🚪 for staff

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@Headteacherchat 1/2 I think as others have said it's about being clear of the vision. Personally I tackled it head on, set a date for an after-school meeting asked TAs and teachers to attend (I worked out toil for the TAs, it was staff meeting for teachers). Laid my cards in the table....

@Headteacherchat Watching Lilo and Stitch, dog walk and a spot of gardening

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@Headteacherchat Absolutely be your authentic self, if that isn't what they like or want, then it isn't the right place for you. Know the school, the demographic and what you bring to the table. You've got this !!!! 💪🏼

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@DeputyGrocott I'm with you on this one, dreading tomorrow morning 🌄

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@DeputyGrocott Hi👋🏼

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@MelAinscow Done well they are inclusive and meet need, they need skilled staff and a bespoke curriculum.

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@ICT_MrP A green rolling board followed by a white board, red 🖋️, blue 🖊️ & two registers each morning. No IT then a BBC with disks. Literacy hour, Numeracy hour, Roger Red hat and Ginn 360, OHP, sticky back plastic... There is an awful lot more 😂!!!

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@pandocruises The cookery club dinner 🍽️ absolutely fantastic 😊

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

Happy Easter 🐣 teaching colleagues and friends, take time for yourselves, what you looking be and who you love.

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@Headteacherchat Presence in the lunch hall and at playtimes, then share the gate and these between SLT so it's well balanced. Leave at a reasonable time! If you need to send an email out of hours then delay send till 'Working Hours' so people don't feel they have to respond.

[Kazz @tweetKAustin]

@Headteacherchat Be yourself, remember the moment you step into the carpark it starts, trust your instincts about the 'feel' and make sure you chat to as many people as you can to firm your own judgements as much as they are forming them of you.
