This is absolutely the case: introducing a new system and a new tax, because it never was about closing a tax break, takes time and care and thought to avoid unintended consequence. Let’s slow down and think carefully and collectively about 100% of the children at school.

Really not loving the new @easyJet app. Opening the app on a day of your flight used to display instantly the status of your journey- now several clicks required. Similarly check in is now as slow as other airline apps. Such a shame.

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

Reception/ Year 1 and 2 were faced with a big problem during outdoor classroom today; finding a large muddy puddle full of tadpoles; they quickly realised action had to be taken! Plans were made & off they went to rescue & rehouse the tadpoles! Inquiry based learning in action!

Even in an April shower, the new rockery outside the @gordonstoun refectory is a cheery sight. Thanks to our fabulous grounds team and gardener, Emma, who have created this in just a few days.

"I remember @TheLisaKerr, @gordonstoun Principal, saying 'As a head, only do what only you can do'. Ask yourself, 'What value does it add if I'm the person to do this? Or should it be something I delegate to grow the leaders who are coming up behind me?' " open.spotify.com/episode/0vf…

Much to celebrate today …. 18 years since I joined @gordonstoun (then as a Governor), International Women’s Day, and, arguably most exciting of all, coming 🥈 in the @gstounjunior quiz and winning this fabulous prize …
