‘Liberating’ food = ‘Shoplifting’ ‘Take Back Control’ = ‘Taking The Piss’ It’s activists like this, who give activism a bad name. I work with children who liberate food because there isn’t any at home and they are beyond hungry! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It’s been quite the week! 🥳

😂 😴

We knew it was coming and today, we got the call ☎️ So many of you will know what that means. We are ready and we can do this, our students deserve the best outcome, that’s why we do, what we do!

Just a reminder for today, #ShroveTuesday #PancakeDay 🥞

No one, 50y ago, would believe a drug-addled dunderhead could be a health secretary. Especially not in the most advanced high tech country in the world. We can laugh at the stupidity but the destruction of US science, the EPA, the FDA & CDC sets back not just the US, but world health by decades.

Pan-seared salmon fillet served with coffee and maple syrup–braised fennel, creamed feta, potato rosti, wilted spinach, baby corn and tender green beans.

Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things. Don’t get caught up in what you can’t control, but, control what you can. Accept and make the best of it, build on it and remember, tomorrow is another day, more importantly, remember, you are enough.

Today was one of those work days that can absolutely get in the bin!

To see the world clearly is to feel it deeply and sometimes, to weep for it.

A comforting roast chicken dinner with Yorkshire pudding and rich gravy, buttery mash, cavolo nero, roasted beetroot, broccoli and carrots, Boston beans and a tarragon-butter fricassée of leeks, peas, spinach and mushrooms.

Lighter days and sun are coming! 🌞

“You boy, has the PM, the one who is a former Barrister and DPP said anything about Venezuela yet and International Law?” The silence is deafening!

Butter-baked smoked haddock with lemon and capers, nestled alongside new potatoes, tenderstem broccoli and baby corn, all resting on a rich fricassée of butter beans, mushrooms and leeks, gently herbed.

Happy New Year One & All 🍾🥂

Not just the half term — the whole term has been hard, humbling & rewarding. SEMH, pastoral care & safeguarding work asks a lot & life outside school had its moments too… but we got through. That matters, that more than matters. Grateful 🙏🏻❤️

“Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. It can tell you you're no good, that it's all hopeless. But remember this, you are loved, and important, and bring to this world things no one else can. So hold on.” Charlie Mackesy - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.

Which is exactly what narcissists do!

Is one sweating now?!

Malta has been such a joy — beautiful island, wonderful people. The Maltese and so many others from around the world live and work together here with such warmth and ease. A lovely reminder of how good it feels when everyone just gets along 🇲🇹 💛 Only 350 photographs to sort through 📷

Good morning from sunny Malta 🇲🇹☀️ It’s set to reach 27° today 🥵 I’ve got hundreds of photos to sort through before sharing a gallery soon 📸

Another wonderful day in Malta 🇲🇹 Sunset view from the Skyroom bar!

Sunday supper! Sliced chicken breast and halloumi coated in za’tar and honey with fresh figs. This was on a bed of baby salad leaves, rocket and red onion pickled in lemon juice and chill flakes with fresh mint and finished with a sprinkling of crushed pistachios!

One small act of kindness can turn someone’s whole day around. Imagine the impact if we all tried ✨ #BeKind #Kindness #KindnessMatters
