No more glue guns in primary that’s for sure. Notwithstanding the fact that children do need to learn to use tools & be exposed to propitiate risk. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@jshmtn Shouldn’t have got to a panel. She’s not prohibited at least but does have a misconduct finding on her file which seems very harsh.

First paragraphs of Ofsted reports don’t get much worse than this. A good example why consistent routines and expectations in schools are essential

@Toriella_86 No, I don’t think so - this is probably exceptional which is why it’s getting a lot of traction. But do join a union, professional association or other teacher support organisation so that you’re professionally supported if accidents happen.

Ofsted chief says poor white communities lack 'aspiration and drive' | worked in lots of disadvantaged areas and actually few parents I meet lack ambition. What they lack is the knowledge and resources to convert aspiration into outcomes.
