I’ve been a teacher for 24 years. I have been a SEND specialist for almost 20. Yesterday I became a mum of a child with a draft EHCP. #SEND #SENDparent
We were so very proud to win. So lovely to see you, Lisa ♥️
A wonderful evening last night at the north west #Educate Awards. @EducateAwards So many brilliant schools doing amazing things.
A huge thank you to @SatisEducation for the invitation 🧡 The performance from @LIPASixthFormCo College was exceptional ⭐️✨
So much talent to celebrate in so many schools but the award recognising the exceptional leadership @BCHSchool in Warrington was such an important one. Emma Mills & her fabulous SLT getting a standing ovation. ♥️
Wonderful to catch up with some of the best people

@chrisdysonHT @ChallengePartnr Kate @simonkidwell and many more people I can’t find on Twitter because it is behaving oddly!

Here are a few approaches that can work…

As two teenagers are found guilty of murdering Brianna Ghey, the 16-year-old's class mates have paid tribute to a "beautiful, gorgeous" friend.
I'm very grateful to Emily, Ella and Eleanor for sharing their memories with me.

Getting up early to go to an 8am class can be tough on a Saturday but I feel training again has saved me over the last 6 months. Pilates ✔️ Yoga 🧘♀️ ✔️ My gym looks so lovely lit up when it’s still dark 💕#teacherwellbeing
