The best thing of all is that they don’t spit.

I once spoke on a panel which included two knights and a bishop. I introduced myself as a pawn.

Been a while. I make it space for 5 more…

I’ve been eyeing them up. Please let us know if it’s effective.

@sineadmc.bsky.social Hi Sinead. We spoke after your amazing talk the ASCL conference this year. Could we have a chat? Duncan

Quite right.

Thank goodness politics is now being done by grown ups.

You’d think so

Not as bad as 5 years apart. Maths GCSE and maths KS2 on same day.

Very handy, particularly when the previous 780 days of learning Japanese appears to have had no effect at all.

I really enjoyed Educated.

It’s not a word! It doesn’t exist in the singular.

Warmest thoughts to all those households with both KS2 and GCSE today

Today’s #wordle word isn’t a word in the singular. Outrageous.

Epimenides issue here

Kicked the ladder out from under him.

You can only perjure yourself. At least in my experience.

Great alert from @chess.com “Use the horse”. Well done.

Well done Australia.

Thought exactly this when I watched it yesterday.

Profit is a language he understands.

I'm not saying that Vance has angered God, but if he offers to pray for you, it might be best to politely decline

So much this ⬇️

Yes it’s getting there. I miss followers but these days I don’t have anything to say!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Dawn was a wonderful part of the wider education community.

As is always the case whenever there is a change in policy, be careful what you wish for. The absence of a progress measure could lead some to fixate on raw attainment, perhaps unduly concentrating on English and maths, especially around grade 3/4 and 4/5.

I think this talk was the most powerful piece of public speaking I have ever heard. Because it was so well constructed and delivered I was hanging on every word. Very happy to be able to tell @sineadmc.bsky.social that afterwards 👏👏👏
