Lovely fresh air ☺️ Anyone else been taking the opportunity of breathing it in today? #wellbeing

We don’t meet together as a team very often, due to other commitments and geographical distances. But it’s always such a joy when we do. Last week we came together to share time, reflection and inspiration. Leadership Edge Coaching in Schools 💝 What do you enjoy about spending time with your team?

Privileged to be invited to speak at the Greenshaw Trust Leadership Team Day today. Kicked-off by inspirational @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social. Closed by fabulous Will Smith. With 4 of our participants sharing stories of how #coaching has had a profound impact on them personally + professionally

What are you grateful for this morning? This walk is just 5mins from my house. In summer, we were moving closer to town. But then we starting appreciating what we already have, and withdrew. Sometimes we are so focused on the negatives, we forget to notice the positives. #wellbeing #edusky

#EveningWalk took a different form today! Decided to squeeze it in during a childcare turnaround. I made it 😅 We’re normally so good at squeezing in things to get them done for other people. How could you squeeze something in for yourself? #wellbeing #EduSky

Beautiful evening walk, capturing this nearly-full moon. Tomorrow (17th) will officially be a Supermoon, apparently. Who’s going to get outside to walk with it? #wellbeing #EveningWalk #edusky #nature If so, feel free to post pics here 📸 🌒 #supermoon

Woo-hoo! My 12yr old slept through the night for the first time in about 5 weeks! Over summer, one of his friends shared a scary video on YouTube which he couldn’t get out of his head. 😫🥺 Whilst we focus on our professional duties at work, always remember there’s another life going on at home.

We've got thirty colleagues from Advantage Schools going to researchEd on Saturday. But we also have two spare tickets with lunch at the moment that we're offering internally. If you're desperate to go and don't have a ticket, message me and I'll confirm if we still have them tomorrow.

What do we think #EduSky? Steps in the right direction? #Ofsted

School leaders: A reminder to set some non-negotiables for yourself and to encourage colleagues to do the save. Ensuring regular quality time with friends & family is vital for personal wellbeing and professional fulfilment. What will you do? #EduSky www.leadershipedge.org.uk/post/family-...

For any start of term insomnia/anxiety issues, I can highly recommend watching The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross - we had all 4 of us watching it in bed last night and it did the trick for adults and children alike! What are your tips for bedtime calm? #regulation #relaxation #sleep #eduSky

Sorry if this is weird, but if you're heading back from mat leave and you're a bit nervous about it, please feel free to message me. I went back to work when my little boy was five months old and moved into SLT. It was a really lonely time, so I'd like to help if you're in the same boat! #UKEd

Celebrating 50 years of marriage! Hearing my parents yesterday, sharing their reflections in front of family, was a moving insight into the values they’ve shared, instilled in us, and we in our children. #legacy #values #relationships What relationships have you celebrated this summer? #Edusky

Happy bank holiday, people! Tomorrow maybe forecast thunderstorms for our garden party but hey, this evening’s walk has been beautiful. What are your weekend plans: #connection #relaxation #adventure #work ?

These are dandelion leaves right? Just really big. Found them on my walk this evening and going to feed them to pet tortoises tomorrow 🐢 #EveningWalk #wellbeing #EduSky Anyone else been walking today?

The Sutton Trust will be analysing the data from tomorrow's #GCSEresultsday - keep an eye out. This won't be in tomorrow's data (is out later in the year), but a reminder of the context for tomorrow's results - over a decade of progress in closing the attainment gap has been lost post pandemic.

In this evening’s walk, my husband and I discovered a blackberry bush we’d never noticed before. The things you #notice when you #slowdown 👀🍇🌺🌳 #wellbeing Wishing you all a peaceful evening… and good luck to all involved in GCSE results tomorrow… the fruit of much labour 💝#EduSky

GCSE results are out tomorrow. And we'll be posting our usual analysis on the day. But if you want to get ahead of the game, we've put together a round-up of what we'll be looking out for tomorrow. #EduSky ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2024/08/five...

This chap on Countyfile just now reminding us of the positive impact on mental health when we spend 15mins outdoors every day. Increases activity to hippocampus (emotional processing centre of the brain). Do you manage this during term time (especially winter)? #wellbeing #Edusky
