Not sure who needs to hear this today (probably me!) Don’t give up. Take a rest. Reset. Pause. Reconnect. Breathe. But don’t give up. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 We need you and in time, you’ll look back at the mountain you’ve climbed. @WomenEdScotland #WomenEdWednesday

Thank you @BishopPMcKinney for celebrating with us and making this a memorable occasion full of joy and spirt for all of us in the St Patrick's Community. Thank you to all who joined us. @OLOLCatholicMAT
A truly joyful Mass to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the current St Patrick’s School, The Meadows, Nottingham. The children sang & participated so well, & there were two excellent altar servers. Thank you to the Head, staff & pupils for making all their guests so welcome!

Overheard two mums in the hairdressers talking about their kids’ experience of maths. Then this: “I remember in school being asked 3x4. I wasn’t thinking about 3x4, I was thinking everyone is looking at me. I still remember that.” Maths anxiety is real.

🚨 Saying that OCD is just about being "clean and orderly" is a misrepresentation of a very complex condition. For #OCDAwarenessWeek, share this post so that people get the facts 👇 (1/7)
