What’s with the font on the Norway kit? That’s not an 8!!

A conversation in the staff room earlier this week about preferred toast spreads. I was adamant that marmalade was the elite choice… one of my teachers who was there gave me this today, just because. I genuinely work at the best school in the world.

Have been in denial for a while. This is very sad news #nffc

Just getting ready for prom and my make up has just melted straight off my face. It’s going to be a hot one!

Messi is already a God in Argentina. This is a painting on the side of a huge building just off the Plaza de la República, just one of many Messi tributes around Buenos Aires. They must be going crazy there today.

Watching Messi just brings me joy.

Happy Summer Solstice. Might regret the sunrise paddle as the day progresses, but what a beautiful start to the day.

A traveler asked: “How could ancient people possibly understand mathematics?” Excellent question. We accidentally invented geometry while trying to avoid carrying rocks incorrectly.

YES! The Maths Hubs Level 3 Leadership Communities, which I invented, are launched this month. Each Hub will have an introductory meeting, ahead of half-termly twilights for HODs and KS5 coordinators, in conjunction with the AMSP. So Network Meetings are back, baby! www.ncetm.org.uk/maths-hubs-p...

Ha ha ha ha… we can only dream

Shot to nothing after a late resignation for promotion - but my amazing school are looking for a head of science if anyone in the South West is interested in a move and/or promotion. Deadline is, erm, tomorrow! RT appreciated... www.eteach.com/job/curricul...

While our internet was acting up yesterday I thought ‘ooh, maybe someone’s decided we’ll go back to not having that anymore that anymore’ and honestly, what a nice thought that was.

I always like to have a good break during the Easter holidays to clear my mind before I start timetabling. This year was Egypt with the boys. Everything was utterly 🤯

"It’s a bright spot on the moon,” CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen said, his voice breaking up, “and we would like to call it Carroll.” The crew all shared a hug after. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/s...

This is incredible. What a feeling that must be for the crew.

Would you like to come and teach English at our lovely school? mynewterm.com/jobs/112989/...

Flashback moment today at school as a student was seen smoking an actual cigarette on the way home from school! It was like the 90’s all over again!

MATHS TEACHERS! We are expanding our team due to increased curriculum time. *2 posts available* Lovely, dedicated & supportive team. Easily commutable from Leeds & York. Happy to answer questions via DM. Please share if you can. www.king-james.co.uk/job/teacher-... Reposts appreciated!

Why am I sobbing watching Max Dowman on MOTD? What a moment for the boy!

I had parents evening tonight so couldn’t go to the Forest match. Looking at the weather I’m glad for once! I’ll have the towels ready for when the boys get home! #nffc

Pi day is on Saturday this week so we have celebrated early at school this year. Our wonderful Head of Music crocheted all the maths teachers a pi for pi day. Here is my crocheted Lemon Meringue Pi!

We have a vacancy for a teacher of History. Come and join our wonderful History department! @victoriacrooks.bsky.social mynewterm.com/jobs/112989/...

“Mum, what do you even do as a headteacher?” Checking today’s calendar… visiting Humanist speakers, teaching yr 11, meeting with laptop company, whole school CPD, response meeting for OFSTED COMPLAINT 😡, governors Finance and Resources committee… all in my World Book Day costume.

Do they really not know the dire financial situation schools are in? Once more for those at the back… there is nothing left to save.

Happy 11-Point Day to everyone who celebrates. #nffc. Thank you for your sacrifical service #avfc

That goal takes Wolves over 11 points! IYKYK #NFFC

My favourite part of Hannah Spencer’s speech: “I think everybody should get a nice life. Clearly I'm not the only person who thinks that.”

Nice to wake up this morning to see that it is possible to win a seat in Parliament without pandering to the racists. Well done and good job to the Greens.

loved this article! dunno if you already saw/shared it jameelajamil.substack.com/p/ah-shit-we...

New momentum transfer video just dropped 😊 #iTeachPhysics #Science 🧪

Am thinking about the current workload of my secondary SENCO here. She works hard with our primary feeders to ensure support is in place before they start with us so they can hit the ground running when they arrive in y7. I hope there is a plan in place for these reviews to be timely.

I am on the sofa under a big blanket and have a large glass of wine in my hand. I have no intention of moving anytime soon. Happy half term teacher friends!

4th manager of the season incoming.

Well, I’m happy to say we have employed an excellent teacher! All four candidates were really good! What a lovely day.

Very excited for our maths interviews today. We had a really good field and have narrowed it down to 4 excellent candidates (on paper). I love interview day!

I’d like to see the details, but on the surface this seems huge.

What is this ‘surplus cash’ of which they speak? Asking for the maintained sector.

I guess "white wealthy British and American grooming gangs" doesn't have the same ring to it

Oh no! RIP Moira Rose.

Oh Bruce ♥️

Teacher of Design and Technology. Putting this up here again as the deadline is this Friday. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested! mynewterm.com/jobs/112989/...

Braverman says she's been "politically homeless" for over 2 years, which means she was reelected in 2024 as an MP for a party she didn't want to be a member of. And she says Tories "failed Britain [on] Brexit and immigration". She was Brexit minister and Home Secretary. Twice. But "vote for me!"

That there’s a massive flu/virus outbreak that is wiping kids (and staff) out for over a week at a time?

This is definitely true. Sometimes a change of scene (polite way of saying leadership/colleagues) is all you need.

Here is the final job advert from this transfer window. Saving the most exciting role until last… MATHS! Please share with anyone you know who might be interested. mynewterm.com/jobs/112989/...

I hate being off school but I have been ill ill ill ill ill today. I am so mardy.

A very bizarre context for a question!
