Hello all, I’ve now taken early retirement from headship and this is part of my new endeavours. Do pass onto anyone needing a celebrant for any ceremonies- fully trained and ready to go!πŸ¦‹

Lovely to see you here EYPPC. And with the brilliant GeogLive webinars linked here- so many teachers will find very high quality geography support 🌎

If I can ever be of any help; please let me know. Ruth was in my mind and in my views throughout my last ever Ofsted earlier this year; it could be so many more of us.

Edmund you are so right- the stress of the system has finally led me to retiring early, taking my teachers pension a month into being 55 at the end of this term. Crikey I’m going to miss my schools- but not the chronic stress and overwhelm. Thank you for keeping the fight going.

School chickens enjoying the snow in our school playground in the South Downs today! There was some amazing joy, wonder and excitement amongst our 4-7 year olds. And the complexities of getting all of your fingers in your gloves!

Fantastic #primarygeography in the woods today, mapping the stream habitats, flow and erosion and deposition. It was a fantastic experience for the Year 6 and for me!
