Who even am I now? Kombucha on a bank holiday era.

Bike ride down the coast road and a chippy tea is my perfect school holiday afternoon ❤️

Hi #Edusky and #EduskyPrimary If you are proud of your reading curriculum / reading spine and have it easily accessible, please could you reply with a link. To be clear, I am looking for what whole books you read each year. Interested in lower secondary as well. Reposts appreciated 🙏

Sensible advice as always from @nimishlad.bsky.social

Little ice cream treat to celebrate the start of half term break. Here for it.

Day 1 of half term and already drama. School shares a storage container with Furness Ladies Rounders team and I’ve broken the lock. I’ve also left a statue of Mary on the grass outside the canteen from the May Procession. Going to school on Saturday morning was not on my school holiday reset list.

Got my confident blazer on today. Old faithful that matches perfectly with my imposter syndrome.

In my experience investing in a leadership coach definitely accelerates school improvement ⭐️

Beautiful new addition for our school library 🍃💚📚

Don't miss @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social giving evidence to the Education Committee tomorrow 👇

My husband just said my work top reminds him of Freddie Krueger. No time to change but can’t un-see it.

In which @clairestoneman.bsky.social discovers Alpha Schools and is not impressed…Thought-provoking and funny as well! open.substack.com/pub/birmingh...

Sundays 🌿🩵🍺

Really enjoyed this week’s episode 🎧🙌

It’s not often that something on social media stops me in my tracks, but this week I was transfixed by a recent interview with Bob Odenkirk who was describing a near-death experience, and the strange way a particular novel was able to help him make sense.. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/novels-tel...

We have been selected for moderation this year. This is really helpful for anyone preparing to showcase their pupils hard work 🍏❤️

“She could not let it go - the injustice burned at her.” Love Ivy for her grudge holding and for her dedication to feeling mad. Also maybe she is one of my favourites because she feels more than just a little relatable.

My new @tesmagazine.bsky.social article: ‘We haven’t closed the reading gap yet’ “The reading gains we’ve made as a country should certainly be celebrated. Yet it is important that we explore what is going on behind the “good news” headlines, too.” www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Today, @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social will give a lecture shaped by his time as our Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate. 👉 In The Kids Are Not Alright, Frank will speak about shared reading as an urgent national priority - and say stories should be at the heart of support for families. Stay tuned!

The children at Sacred Heart love these books 💗📚

Messages like this bring it all back into focus 🍎❤️

Love this book. A vital resource for schools 💗📚 So well deserved 👏

@a-mymaguire.bsky.social your class look like they had a lovely day at the beach exploring in the rock pools 🌊🐚🦀 Thank you Nature England 💙

Bluebell season on the Key Stage 2 site 💙

Bank holiday and a TA has dragged her husband to school. In to zhuzh up the outside space which is very limited because of our temporary accommodation. Our support staff are not only essential to our children’s education and safety they are often absolute heroes who we would be lost without.

Everybody is probably sick of hearing about our situation 🫣 But I was really happy to be able to shout out our children in this piece in the local paper. I feel like this photo might haunt me forever 😂 www.nwemail.co.uk/news/2607077...

Day 2 annual NAHT conference 😊 Love these old photos of my mam (the top one) and my dad (the bottom one). They taught me the values of solidarity and that our rights are maintained by standing together ❤️

A good news day 💗 I was nervous about speaking in front of the planning committee at Barrow Town Hall but everyone made me very welcome. Plans approved for the new school building 🎉🎉🎉

You can’t go to the big Waterstones and not get a few treats for the school library 📚💗 (And one for the high school library)

Little weekend away with the girls. Bunk beds, zero privacy, chaos. Someone has definitely nicked my charger.

Pinch me moment! So grateful for the opportunity.

Depth over coverage, demanding texts, high challenge, low threat. These are not luxuries, not for any pupil. For those who are socially disadvantaged, they represent the difference between an education that opens the world and one that quietly confirms their exclusion from it

Sobering but essential viewing. A wake up call for us all.
