Taking inspiration from @richkbristol’s talk at @ArkSoaneAcademy, tweaked a story on Matilda to include a pinch of discipline, stumbled down an online rabbit warren, and now ridiculously pleased with myself to find the line I wanted in the Peterborough Chronicle. Huge thanks all!

Beautiful summary of Connected Worlds, with strong advocacy for story and sources to be entwined with story.
At the hospital with a cannula in my arm, and yes feeling guilty about missing yr11’s last lesson, but the huge relief to work in a school where they won’t add to the guilt, and my HoF is taking yr11 so they’ll be fine, and I’ll set cover when I’m up to it, but won’t if I’m not…

The science department at @totteridgeacad is genuinely remarkable. The quality of T&L is so high, but we know we still have loads to do. We love Rosenshine, cognitive science, feedback, Springboard, booklets and Carousel.

Donation number 50! Everyone who can, please consider donating to @NHSBT - very little effort from me makes a huge difference to others .
Fantastic day at #Soane24 with sessions from @KatieAmery and @tenigogo_ both championing oral testimony and @Shahnaz17 and @ed_durbin with amazing sessions on storifying A level and GCSE, finished off by a rousing address from @mfordhamhistory.
Fabulous work from all involved, and particular thanks to @michaeldoron and team - same time next year please‽

Nice end of term present - do not recommend trying to do two different leadership/development programmes at the same time though! Nevertheless, thanks @histassoc #sldp and @otsacpd
Slight run of unwelcome events in the last 24 hours - puncture, bee sting, tricky class, torn trousers… Fab colleagues (including @vicki_hathaway and @DavidJHibbert), fantastic cpd @histassoc #sldp and @mikeduncan’s Mexican Revolution on the walk home have been just the tonic!
13 units, 51 videos and papers, 3 meetings, 97 pages of notes, 1 Whatsapp group, 1 reflection document - @histassoc, the #SLDP has been a pleasure! So much to learn and think on, lots of new people 'met' - so very much recommended if you are a HoD or aspiring HoD.
Particular thanks to @CatPriggs for being a fantastic group leader, and to everyone who presented, took part, and helped me develop over the last few months of the course.
