Well into my second headship in an amazing primary school. Well-being always a consideration in every decision we make!

It is a wonder people were not crushed to death following @merseyrail ‘s organisation tonight. Fans were being crushed and forced into the road as ambulances tried to get through. One station open. Incredibly dangerous situation made worse by pure incompetence.

Excellent! We would welcome them with open arms! And with the increased funding state schools would receive, I might be able to afford to give you that TA job after all! Win win!
❌ Over 200,000 more children flocking into our state schools ❌ Slashing a large proportion of our special educational needs provision ❌ Potentially costing taxpayers up to £1.6bn Labour have no plan to improve education standards so revert to the politics of envy.

You have destroyed schools, cut funding, demonised teachers and my own son doesn’t even have a physics teacher. When you lose your seat, I’d give you a job as a TA… but I can’t afford it!
Your children's futures are at stake in this election. Under the @Conservatives, we've delivered high and rising standards across our education system. In stark contrast, every time Labour have had power, education standards have plummeted. 🧵 A thread 👇 1/10

Borderline insulting… Wonder what that’s like?
Keir Starmer thinks that the education system’s number one priority should be speaking lessons This is borderline insulting Kids like me who grew up in Knowsley know what education under Labour means -they have failed children time and time again and continue to do so in Wales

Not letting this one go. If you are a school leader who inspects for Ofsted, you should feel *ashamed*. Ashamed for what you are doing to your peers. Not proud, or clever, or powerful, or that you are helping your school, or Trust… Feel ashamed. #forRuthPerry and others.
Can I be clear again that if you inspect & you work in a school, or Trust, you are part of the problem. @Ofstednews are toxic to schools & believe me, you **WILL NOT** change if from the inside; you are just perpetuating the problem. School leaders: STOP INSPECTING.

What if the govt know the STRB will recommend around 4%… then leaked 6.5% so unions say follow the STRB recommendations. When a lower amount is offered, govt position is “Well you said accept the recommendations”…

Is anyone else noticing strange behaviour from staff this term? People I can usually rely on have been behaving erratically causing huge issues! Maybe it’s the weather!

Received this via PM: “I inspected a favoured MAT sch. They had excluded a massive number of pupils. I phoned the Ofsted duty desk and was told to turn a blind eye. 'They're bound to have a spike if they're asserting a new behaviour regime'. It's disgusting.” Who is Ofsted for?

I’ve written to all @woodbrhigh parents today to set out our 2023-24 budget position. It is not good news. I urge all those who love our school to campaign for us. Without more money, I am worried that staffing cuts are coming. Young people, and ultimately society, will suffer.

Anyone else sing “The key, the Secret” when accessing the Y2/Y6 SAT papers or is that just our SLT??

If a teacher lied like this and brought the profession into disrepute, they would be put up in front of the TRA for dishonesty and lack of integrity… One rule for us…

Dear @GillianKeegan and @educationgovuk - just so you know, if we did accept your pathetic offer, I would have to lose at least 2 members of staff to pay for it. We’ve all set our budgets now! What kind of incompetence is this??? Enjoy your last year in office…

In support of @GaryLineker I will cancel my TV license and only use time-shift streaming. If it’s okay for @RishiSunak to censor our media, we are headed down a dark path… #boycottTVlicense

Gillian lacks empathy in her oral work. She would benefit from additional support and may want to explore other options for her future that are more appropriate to the level at which she is working. Gillian can be disruptive at times and is unable to use commas after adverbials…
Once again I am calling on the NEU to accept our serious offer to call off planned strike action and engage in talks on all areas of this dispute including pay. These are exactly the same terms accepted by the unions representing nurses, ambulance staff and physiotherapists.
