25.11.2024 06:38 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes absolutely. All about ongoing development and unrelated to pay. Maybe itβs a case of reiterating that as well?
25.11.2024 05:12 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Morning all! I need your hive mind. Top tips for a decent appraisal discussion and process to make it really meaningful and lead to tangible outcomes for all? Thank you so much π

And check out the skies we got to enjoy on our run tonight βοΈπ
Enjoy that sun! Just invested in a very cosy coat for my other in law so that she thrives during another jersey winter!

Babies need time for unoccupied play (adult is there), such as kicking their legs, trying tummy time, or putting their hands feet into their mouths, helps babies explore the world #PlayMatters #Earlyyears

22.11.2024 05:38 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thank you so much. I was so saddened to hear the news. Her pod was amazing- so human, so honest and so much food for thought about education and how we support our most vulnerable. May she rest in peace

Well worth a listen to hear the fascinating (&challenging!) journey she had open.spotify.com/episode/6ETX...

π οΈso many ideas for my SEMH toolkit

πgreat points on parental links
A must read!
Wow!! So excited to hear what you think!

Looking forward to delving into this!

Love this Mary. Such a pertinent reminder as we go back. Life is bigger than school, and a school is a microcosm of society. Our first job is to support every human in that microcosm (big or small) so that they feel supported and empowered to be themselves
26.08.2024 03:00 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Gone for a fully balanced weekend here, after the first week back at school.

π»bit of work
π²Saturday roast
πreading
And keeping our promise of exploring somewhere new each weekend. Todayβs treat was Wadi Namar.
How are you keeping balanced pre work?
Thatβs my hope! Rather than loads of new initiatives, just focusing on doing the basics really well and feeling a sense of pride in our offer
23.08.2024 14:12 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Yes, looking at things like consistency and loyalty and how we build that. Hoping it resonates!
23.08.2024 14:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Nope! But could be a fun wake ip activity!
23.08.2024 12:44 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Love Hampshire!! Have the best time β€οΈ
23.08.2024 07:45 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Anyone guess the themes for my INSET this week? Always such a challenge to balance (hopefully) useful PD, headlines on our aims and direction and time for planning and setting up for each colleague. Excited to welcome the whole family back after a great induction this week β€οΈ
23.08.2024 07:43 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Good effort! Struggling to get back into it over here. 40+ even in evenings. Hoping to get back into routing next week
