Do people know about RNIB website? If you have a pupil who has a print disability from dyslexia to VI you can join the website and get thousands of texts in the right font/background colour or size. Game changer for me.

It’s been 96 hours since my son was tested. No result. That’s 4 days my class hasn’t had a teacher, 4 more days my sons haven’t been in education. The testing system is not working.

That moment when you’re reading: every child hanging on your every word, anticipation thick in air, silent apprehension....and then you close the book and say, “I guess we’ll find out tomorrow...” . That.

So, I get completely triggered if I’m asked to go to the Head’s/deputy’s office for ‘a word.’ If I need to speak with someone about something, how best to approach? I never want anyone to feel worried/scared.

What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you as a teacher? Mine has to be when a nursery child cut off the glittery jewel from a trainee teacher’s thong that was sticking out abover her trousers. The child then wanted to stick it on the picture she was making!

I can’t begin to tell you the health benefits of cutting out sugar. In 6 months I’ve lost over 3 stone and nearly 10 inches around my waist. I’m never hungry and feel so full of energy. Fat is your friend! But sugar isn’t 😜

Fate: In January my landlord decided to sell the house I’d lived in for 5 years and now I’m in the most amazing house, then I handed my notice in without a job to go to and now I’ve got an opportunity at an amazing new school. Everything happens for a reason.

I’ve been through 7 Ofsted inspections and I only agreed with one outcome. Some schools I thought were better, others worse. Did it change anything? Not really. School improvement doesn’t happen because of Ofsted it happens in spite of them.

Finally got the answers I’d been searching for with my son. He’s been diagnosed with ADHD and Autism. Since the day he started reception he’s struggled at school, sitting still, complying, seeing things in black and white. At least now he’ll get the EHCP I’ve been fighting for.

Survived Ofsted. So proud of my class. The inspector was overwhelmed at the buzz and excitement about writing. No one was under a table, drawing on the self, in crisis or doing what they shouldn’t be. Wine time!

Some students taught my class athletics from the local high school and they taught me a trick: when you give a child a number get them to put up those fingers and trap them in the other hand. She told them to keep their number safe. Genius.

It makes me really sad when I see teachers talking about toxic schools and dreading going to work. I’ve experienced this twice out of 5 schools. So almost half. Is this a widespread issue where teachers are afraid of going to work?

The best way to reduce teacher workload is to get rid of Ofsted. There has got to be a better way to support schools. Ofsted, in my experience, has never been a supportive process. It has been inaccurate, stressful and caused significant work for all involved.

Schools were left open, concerts went ahead, football matches invited fans from serious infected areas. But that was the plan wasn’t it? Boris knew that herd immunity would come at a cost. But all his mates will have private health care...

I’m not sure pointing out the girls and boys are not the same is the issue. Suggested girls don’t like hard maths is the issue. Stereotyping is unhealthy, especially in education and we need less of it.

Relationships is key. Find out about your children and show them unconditional positive regard. Even when they test your patience or do things you don’t understand. If ever I’m in a situation I always say to myself: you’re the adult- they are a child show them the right way to be

I wouldn’t be dreading going back to work if we didn’t have the big O on the horizon. RI is like purgatory, I wouldn’t mind but our results have gone from 37% to 79% in writing and we were moderated last year so I know it’s accurate!
