Two and a half decades in teaching. Still a lot to learn! P.A to Noodle the Doodle; school dog extraordinaire.
Back to back inspections and a job interview for me!
05.05.2025 16:28 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Quietly reflecting on a very packed last week of the spring term. Ofsted, Head Teacher interview panels and a wealth of meetings in between.
Education really is a rollercoaster with the adrenaline, twists and turns before the braking system kicks in leaving you a little dazed and confused!
Someone decided the final week of the longest term in history was not complete without an Ofsted inspection and interview panels for a new Head Teacher.
These next two weeks are very much needed!
Oh Mary! Not you too!

27.08.2024 08:02 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0What about kids who set off on solo sailing expeditions? The media love reporting these stories. Isnβt that more dangerous than staying in expensive hotels and ability to be tracked/ checked in with at regular intervals?
Are we a little too cautious with our kids leading to a lack of resilience? π€
Beautiful
