A thread about Isolation and Booths... We have almost 900 students at our school. We serve the two most deprived wards in our town. Over 50% of the school population are eligible for Pupil Premium. Our cohorts are predominantly white British.

This post is five years old. I’ve retired now, but I stand by every word.

Robinsons Retreats: We’re making the most of our retirement and going on adventures we’ve long dreamed of. We’re walking The Dales Way over 10 days, soaking up the sunshine, the views and the glorious solitude. Just us two, our backpacks and B&Bs along the way.

I thought I would fact check this bizarre article from this weekend's Observer (not, as people keep saying, the @guardian, which normally is much better for quality education coverage). It's almost easier to find out what is true, than to deal with all the inaccuracies. 🧵

Lost Gold Ring with Pearls ! somewhere between Baker Street station, Regent’s Park + the Theatre + Green Park station, I have lost a ring my Nan left to me. It belonged to my great grandmother and is of great sentimental value. It slipped off during the rain and I’m so sad !

Robinsons Retreats: Our second campsite of our 9 week adventure. This time in a pine forest next to miles of unspoiled beach in the Southwest of France. What a joy retirement is - days and weeks to read, explore, relax, walk, cycle and swim.

If anyone took their O Levels in 1977, they might remember the extract on the English Language paper was about the Aurora B. I had never heard of it and struggled to understand. I was devastated with my B grade and always put it down to the AB. #AuroraBoreal

If you’re interested in the arguments about discipline in schools, do have a listen. It’s rare to have an hour of quality time to discuss education. Trigger warning: #SLANT #Isolation #Teach Like A Champion. AntiSocial - Discipline in schools - BBC Sounds

How strict is too strict, and do tougher schools get better results?
