#headteachers relax, recharge, reflect here. Just an idea. Sometimes a change of scene, in the sun, with like-minded people is just what's required. I could design some long weekends out of season when the fares are low.

Oh we certainly have the pain.... each year we wonder if it’s the right thing for us. However experience tells me stick with it and reap the rewards! It’s certainly made an impact in our books - can’t sometimes believe how neat and cursive a 4 year old can write!

We involve our parents/carers at the beginning of the year to our cursive font within a phonics coffee afternoon! Parents/carers go away stunned when we show them end of year writing! #neverunderestimateafouryearold

We hope that @DamianHinds, @AngelaRayner and @LaylaMoran will all take a look at our new report by @Tom_Richmond on the future of Ofsted. The research evidence is clear: grading schools doesn't work. A new approach is needed. edsk.org

Please remember that all those interactions you have with your students outside of the lesson really matter. The smiles... the eye contact... the jokes... the fist bumps... the silliness...they’re all important. They remind kids that they matter. Those moments can mean the world.

Massive case of ‘definitely should have started this sooner’. Y5/6 kids absolutely flying thanks to Daily SPaG Practice. Introducing/revising concepts every few days and, through daily practice, they are really getting the hang of it. Big fan 👌👌
