If the wider public knew what is happening they would be shocked. In many schools today, 1% of students are destroying the education of the rest and taking up the most of the time/energy of the staff. Unsustainable.

Teaching is two jobs. 1. Actually teaching lessons 2. The planning, the marking, the logging behaviour, the phone calls home, the emails, the mocks, the meetings. And you have to both in the time you have to do one.

Teachers, for your own mental health and that of colleagues, please remember they aren’t ’your’ results. #GCSEResults

A subtle England penalty shootout innovation (since 2021) is their deliberate, structured & functional use of social psychology. Here, Saka is picked up by John Stones after his penalty, to swiftly welcome him back in the team. What did England do and why did they do it? 1/7

Summer 2 is a tough half term for primary with so much going on. People think we wind down for summer, but it feels the complete opposite! Shout out to all the thousands of hard working staff in schools doing a great job! No awards required!

- Unhappiest kids in Europe - Fewer children than ever reading for pleasure - School buildings crumbling - less than half the target of teacher trainees - Biggest retention crisis - Morale in the profession the lowest ever - Ofsted… The list goes on. They’re delusional

Sent out our first ‘Literacy Bulletin’ this morning to all staff! I’m hoping this will serve as a regular and centralised update of reminders for all things literacy 📚❤️

Just got home from parents evening. Natural expectation for teachers to work a normal day, then work the evening meeting 30 parents for 10 mins each and be back bright and bushy tailed for another full day in the morning . . .

If we invested more in children aged 0 to 5, we would save so much money trying to solve problems later on.

Can we just talk about how hard it is to be a teacher and on your period? Specific times that you are able to go to the toilet, duties that interfere with break times and toilet access, dealing with pain whilst teaching. It’s exhausting.

My new favourite saying I heard this week is "Do it nice, or do it twice!" Messy work? Ran down the corridor? Threw a pencil in the pot? Works it all kinds of situations!

The elephant in the room is that the primary curriculum is utterly overcrowded. It’s so exhausting trying to do anything well or in any kind of depth. This has got to be contributing to teacher burnout. It needs sorting but nobody in any position of influence is talking about it.

Trust us, teachers don’t want to parent your kids. We just want you to.

Congratulations to British Gas who made record profits of £969,000,000 in six months. That’s almost *ten times* more than last year, while millions are struggling to pay the bills. We must end this daylight robbery and bring energy into public hands, now.
