I’m keen to hear from trustees, governors, school leaders (Headteachers, SLT, MAT central team staff, School Business Managers etc) as to your preferred time for governor / trustee meetings (assume meetings are 2 hours max in length and working day is between 9 and 5) Thank you!

It's governors tonight! (Best SLT ever btw......)

Word of the day is ‘battology’ (17th century): needless and tiresome repetition in speaking or writing, often used to avoid answering the question.

23 years of teaching (13 as head) & I've never seen anything like the challenges facing education at the moment. Shout out to the TAs, teachers & leaders giving their all & showing huge resilience, especially those new to role, I promise it's not always like this. Keep going.

And this, for this morning. Anyone who is going through challenges at the moment, hold onto this.

This is so, so true. Things often turn out better than you could have imagined!

Trust the process.

Trust requires more than honesty. We count on people who live with integrity.

It's one thing to be truthful in what you say today. It's another to uphold your commitments tomorrow.

Honesty is being candid as you talk. Integrity is honoring those words as you walk.

Academisation is gaining momentum across the country, but what does it mean for compliance? We spoke to Stephen Morales, ISBL CEO, about compliance in education and what it means for academy trusts. Read the full interview: https://t.co/oKWZA9n5zX

One day in to the final half term and already I have been reminded that a Chair of Governors has to wear so many different hats.

Three cheers to all CofGs out there!

[A Chair Somewhere @UndercoverCoG]

@Headteacherchat Also important to remember that governance shouldn't just take place around a table... What happens between meetings is just as important as what happens within them.

[The Thinking School @Thinkingschool2]

Staff want to work in and stay at schools that are well led.

Where they are listened to, included and valued.

Sounds simple.
