Lots of fantastic teamwork this morning.

Heading back after a fantastic residential at High Adventure. We had the best time at last night’s camp fire.

Omg, this makes me cringe so badly! How very dare they?! So, so disrespectful

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Reading is crucial, but ultimately vocabulary and comp are massive and if kids go to secondary and they don’t understand what they have to read in all subjects it’s really tough. @alexjquigley.bsky.social made me think more about this than anyone, read his stuff and % and pass marks are irrelevant

Heard HT today say 80% of their Y6 left passing the reading SAT and how amazing this was and how proud they were. It is good, but we had 90%. It’s the 10% that worry me the most, plus the 15% who just passed. Reading is key and we should all be worried about it for the next step regardless of any %

So proud that in our first year, we’ve now contributed over £1.1 million in social value to our community through our coffee shop, thanks to our volunteers, social groups, exercise programs & mental health support. Plus, we’re helping more people get back into work, making a big impact every day.

That is incredible! Great effort

My early-warning staff weather system is flashing red, alerting me to the fact that we are all KNACKERED!!!

I’m sure they will, think we’re all fed up of Twitter. I’m just pleased to see so many great people like yourself are already here!

Cheers Jonny, late to the party but better late than never!

Good to know, 🤞🏻 for more positive timeline!

I hope so 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ok, making the move. Looks like Twitter, but hopefully doesn’t sound like Twitter?! (I know it’s X, but it will always be Twitter to me)
