How likely are we to see more defined "partnerships" throughout the team next season? Can you see Arteta regularly making double substitutions of both wide players for example? Saka/Eze (🀞) to be replaced by Gabi/Noni or something similar...

A variety of things when I was in different roles. HoY and HoD were mainly around student tracking, intervention and increasing parental engagement. In retrospect, tried to fix too many things at once and the message was muddied as a result. I'd advocate for keeping it simple, one thing at a time.

I tried to do too much, a lot needed doing but I tried to do it all myself which was not advisable. I wish I had developed the ability to delegate responsibility and empower colleagues effectively much earlier.

Roles for info: Head of Year, Head of Key Stage, Head of Department, Lead Prac.

Watched him dive to win a penalty when we beat them 4-2. Even though we beat them (not sure if I mentioned that) that was the day that my negative thoughts towards him escalated. (Trying not to say 'hate')

Can we re-purpose some full stops? It's a maverick idea but I think it could work πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

If Arsenal Football Club thinks that I'll be running around my living room doing that GyΓΆkeres celebration at nearly 40 years old....

They're absolutely right. Every single time he scores, I don't care.

Update: Not playing basketball regularly for 8 years is not the best preparation for a full 40 minute game with only one sub per team. Need to turn my evening walks into evening runs and get back in reasonable shape.

Lucy Bronze clutched her penalty then talked in the post-match interview about all the data and statistics behind the shootout before stating, "I love maths".

I don't see another team in the league with the functional depth that we are likely to have in every position next season. Liverpool are light at the back, City have lots of untested rotational players, Chelsea have numbers but there are serious questions about how they all fit.

Spent the last week putting together our Teaching & Learning Handbook for 2025/26. Created my second one-pager a specific one for what a "Do Now" activity looks like for us. Looking forward to a Summer of reading and research around staff and student culture ready for September.

Because it still gives him a chance, if he comes back from loan then he's in a position to either force his way into the team or secure a bigger move having established himself at Premier League level with a full season of football behind him.

I'm just trying to cope with the idea of him leaving 🀫
