@principallowry Still trying to work out how my son is paying uni fees for tuition he’s not received, and emails that have gone unanswered, in a city he’s not in, accommodation that’s sat empty, before I answer that. Why are universities not experiencing the scrutiny that schools are?

Son said over dinner that he got a bit lost in the PGCE interview back in Feb. It happens, I told him. Just a natural part of the way the brain responds to hard questioning. No, he said. I mean I couldn’t find my way back to the room after visiting the loo

IMPOSTER SYNDROME is believing we are not capable despite evidence of achievement. It’s a defensive mechanism protecting us against future failure. Because we fear failing & believe others are smarter, we ignore opportunities & fail to fulfil our potential. Here's 10 tip:

Loving Twelfth Night. Reminds me when I took my young son for a 12th birthday surprise to meet grandparents at the RSC to watch Romeo and Juliet. When I broke the news in the car he burst into tears. “I thought we were going to Old Trafford Dad!” he wept. #AlmostLiveFromtheRSC

9/ BUT GUESS WHAT, by this point parents realise who they really trust & decided to listen to their child's HT. Parents told HTs what home-learning was working well and what could be better. Their only message to Ofsted was to leave HTs alone...
