Nadja and Laszlo. They are lovely.

Just finished @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social latest novel. Neither me nor the kittens know quite what to do with ourselves next. A magical read.

Delighted and grateful that Secondary Geography in Action is now published and on sale with @hachettelearning.bsky.social as part of @teacherhead.bsky.social's "In Action" series.

Just getting into it - it's wonderfully strange as you'd expect. Leans more into the magical than the realism I think.

Lunch break with a profoundly beautiful book

Mark and Zoe Enser explore what makes schools successful using the Ofsted framework. Read about their new book in their recent article for TES: buff.ly/VNN3kf4

"What is truly inspirational is the difference that people can make to struggling schools. These aren’t always people who come across as charismatic leaders, although some of them are..." @ensermark.bsky.social @greeborunner.bsky.social @crownhousepub.bsky.social 1/2

It was wonderful fun

What feels like a decade ago, in the tail end of Covid, I started DMing an intermezzo campaign to mix things up for the regular team of @heimdayl.bsky.social and @ensermark.bsky.social. It was set in a Mabinogion/Lloyd Alexander- inspired version of mythological Wales.

#HowDoTheyDoIt? by @ensermark.bsky.social and @greeborunner.bsky.social is packed full of reflective questions like this one to help you drive school improvement. Order yours today at: buff.ly/TEn9ZXR

How do they do it? What can we learn from amazing schools, leaders and teachers?

CPD: "Great leaders know they won’t get buy-in unless the relevance & purpose are clear & it is connected to what
happens within the classroom every day." @greeborunner.bsky.social & @ensermark.bsky.social in www.crownhouse.co.uk/how-do-they-..., out now from @crownhousepub.bsky.social

Feeling autumnal

In my latest podcast, @ensermark.bsky.social explained why he thinks Ofsted is wrong to combine 'attendance' and 'behaviour' in their upcoming inspection framework because they are different issues that require different remedies.

"In some schools, there is little thought given to what attitudes
they feel that pupils should have, & then little in the way of
a plan for what happens next. There tends to be an overreliance
on assemblies as the main way to talk to pupils..." @greeborunner.bsky.social & @ensermark.bsky.social 1/2
