Hope today has been a positive one for you (whatever it looked like) remember the academic year is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself and for the first few weeks prioritise routines and expectations - getting that right now will maximise learning time in the long run! #YouGotThis

That Sunday night feeling will be rife tonight. Try to unwind as best as you can, watch a film, have a hot bath, whatever helps you relax. If you find you can't sleep don't lie in bed thinking, jot things down on a pad or get up, do something different, then head back to bed.

One of the things I have always found really powerful is to provide the ECTs with a copy of our T&L policy and the behaviour policy then given them free reign in the school to go and observe and drop in on classrooms so they can see what it looks like in practice.
