Spent last night on a train that went on a boat - epic experience

Not a bad view for a Saturday evening

London bound - it’s been a while

I’ve worked from worse views

So nice to catch up with my uni friends. What an amazing time we had all those years ago

Right back at you @samgibbs.bsky.social

An appropriately bright and sunny day as I board my train for a couple of days working on all things flourishing with @andywolfe.bsky.social and his amazing team and partners

Looking forward to a day of planning and gossip with @samgibbs.bsky.social

Trump’s standing in the UK - what little there was - is collapsing further after the events of the last few days. A new YouGov poll of Brits find just 3% agree with him that Ukraine was the cause of the war. That’s 13% below those who think the moon landings were faked.

Think 9k is the longest I have ever run. Slower than many people walk but still…quite chuffed

About time @lisa7pettifer.bsky.social @shinpad1.bsky.social

Well, BlueSky… can you help?! I’d love to attract more listeners to my podcast about Physical Education. Can I ask you to share this with your network, and hope they’ll share it to theirs? Link below ⬇️ open.spotify.com/show/6gELmFY... #BlueSky #Teachers #EduPE #EduSky #ITE #networking #podcast

Slightly worrying developments in the family home today

Gutted

When your neighbours find a bonkers way to say happy birthday

It’s been a long time since I ran this far - even if many people could walk it faster. Can’t believe how running has actually made my arthritic knees better

"Additional funding for the Early Years Pupil Premium could be a huge opportunity to support disadvantaged children in a critical educational phase," writes SHINE's CEO @fionaspellman.bsky.social in response to this week's Government announcement.

It’s entirely possible to deliver the ECF in-house and with contextual relevance - and the DfE should trust schools to do just that, if that is their preference.

www.tes.com/magazine/tea... - so much to agree with here @samgibbs.bsky.social

I’m loving this flood of new connections on here - including lots of inspiring education people from across the pond

I'm hunting down every last one of you lovely ITE / ITT folk. I'm mainly relying on people's bios to determine who might want to be included here, so if I've missed you, let me know and I will update this list. Reposts appreciated 👍 go.bsky.app/FZXkStn

This is such good news for @collegeofteaching.bsky.social and the teaching profession @aimeetinkler.bsky.social - do we get to celebrate together some time soon?

@garethconyard.bsky.social haha! You gave in!

Good news! schoolsweek.co.uk/excessive-20...

"..(and gain so much satisfaction themselves from doing it) are those we are losing to the tyranny of inflexible & unaccommodating working conditions." @samtwiselton.bsky.social on the importance of flexible working, in @schoolsweek.bsky.social: schoolsweek.co.uk/how-governme... 2/2

"As the at-once illuminating & depressing 'Missing Mothers' report demonstrates, we are failing to retain many of our best teachers...This really matters – at individual, school & system level. It’s obviously a tragedy for the individuals we lose..." @samtwiselton.bsky.social 1/2

"..And it’s also a huge problem for pupils & the quality of education they deserve." @samtwiselton.bsky.social writes in @schoolsweek.bsky.social about the 'Missing Mothers' report & our failure to retain so many strong teachers: schoolsweek.co.uk/how-governme... 2/2

Such good news @tomrees.bsky.social

Since Brexit waking up and feeling like this has become all too familiar

Important message for school leaders

Update - it WAS cancelled

Sitting in Sheffield station waiting to go to Leeds to meet up with the force of nature that is @samgibbs.bsky.social . Can’t believe how many trains are cancelled. Luckily not mine - though it is late

Looking forward to catching up with @andywolfe.bsky.social today!

So sad about this. @teacherdevtrust.bsky.social is a brilliant organisation. It will continue to do great work and have impact but it’s a loss to this bit of the system

@heymrshallahan.bsky.social just tried to message you but couldn’t as you don’t follow me!!!
