Today, our whole school family came together to celebrate Miss Euston's retirement. 💕 From a personalised song written by @technolaedu and memories being shared, it was a fabulous celebration. #WeWillMissYou #TheHeartOfHolyCross
Teacher: SATS are awful. The are not an accurate measure of a child’s ability. So stressful. We should get rid of them.
Same teacher: Look at our SATS results, aren’t they amazing! So proud!
🤦♂️
#SATs
You don’t see many tweets from schools whose SATS results are in the 40/50/60% range. They should be no less proud compared to those who scored 100% in everything. It doesn’t mean they didn’t work hard. It doesn’t mean you’re a better teacher. It might mean you’ve got good…
consistent systems in place across school, but it’s probably just because you’ve got very able children to begin with. I wonder how many of these amazing results contain non-English speaking refugees who arrived at the end of Year 4? 🤨 #SATs
Posting my ballot paper back to vote to strike, again. If for nothing else, for this little one’s future. #TeachersStrike @NEUnion #NEU #union

The latest teachers strike in England is today. 3 mins on what's happened to teachers' pay since 2012. The average teachers' salary has reduced in real terms - and more so than some other professions. Produced by Michael Cox, Rob England, Robert Cuffe. bbc.co.uk/news/education-632…
I have just signed the @NEUnion Replace Ofsted petition. We must create a new accountability system that supports schools and pupils, not punishes them. replaceofsted.valueeducation… #LetTeachersTeach #ReplaceOfsted

Amazon Prime to hike price.
On 15 Sept, the monthly membership price increases from £7.99 to £8.99, and annual membership from £79 to £95.
If you currently pay monthly, and want to keep it, if you can afford switch to annual now, to get next year at £79.
Pls share.
House Move Day! It’s amazing how much stuff you can pile into a Vauxhall Corsa. Waiting for the 7.5t lorry now. Here we go! 🎉

Replying to @manairport
@manairport was busy this morning at 0500. @Ryanair check in/ baggage queue was very long and at one point they just shouted for 3 flights to come forward all at once, which caused a bit of chaos. If you can spare £5 for security fast track, do it. Literally walked to the front.
Best fiver I’ve ever spent. Strangely, some passengers for my flight checked in but didn’t make the gate, so had their bags removed from the plane (delaying us). Why not just let them on then?! Reduced menu onboard, too. We got to the airport 3 hours before our departure, and had
no time after getting through security and queuing at our gate. Better comms needed all round. #ManchesterAirport
