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. 🤷🏻♀️
Our path looks amazing. I’ve ordered a new gate & been refurbishing the fence. New front door on order as the warp in our original door is irreparable!

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.
I’m sorry. I’m beyond angry. We had 3 schools open today and one due to open tomorrow and they get notice at 8pm to close for all bar key worker/vulnerable?
Our heads have worked tirelessly today. 😡
Met this absolute unit in Bermondsey today. Jumped up on the wall for fuss & I thought that was quite a feat! Little hells angel

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.
@thecatreviewer
met this very friendly and chatty fella today. Followed me up the road & rolled round for belly rubs too. 10/10 but I do worry about over friendliness. Hope he’s able to discern furriends 😻

It’s in the public domain. I linked to a website & a TRA decision that publishes all of this.
I tweet this stuff pretty regularly. I usually get about 2 or 3 likes & replies.
Almost all replies here are supportive of teacher…
Shout out to the school business support teams who’ve gone over and above this week & will continue to do so. The work is often invisible to the main purpose of schools but essential to business continuity 🙏
I have discovered that the Norwich school cat who I spotted when I started my job has moved in to the finance office. I now know where to go for pets & also finance staff rock!
@thecatreviewer
Also hate the fact that the bashing happens just when young people are going for interview. Telling people it’s too elite at the point they’re putting themselves forward is counterproductive in my view
I really hate the Oxbridge bashing in

There are loads of things we could do better, of course. And I want the structural discriminiation to change ( and am working towards that). But idea that we are sitting in our spires simply taking those who look like us is wrong,
So I wrote a little piece for

As a Trust COO, it’s been an intense few days working on plans for staged reopening. But it’s really the Principals and Headteachers and school based staff that I’m in awe of. The attention to detail & thought that goes in is incredible.
The likes of me are here to serve you!
@thecatreviewer
met this adorable pair on my morning walk. The little Tortie gave a mini growl when I proffered a hand to sniff, so sadly no fusses 💔 . 10/10 .
High octane turf war in West Norwood this morning
@thecatreviewer
. 10/10 for a full 15-minutes watching riveting tension, drama, suspense and ultimate battle play out during this stand off. (NB only kitteny pride was hurt)
All the

in my timeline are exhausted after the first week of term. Many will have been the powerhouse of the Covid safe add ons like extra cleaning, sanitisers, signage etc etc. They’ll have done this on top of all the usual summer fairy dust stuff.

Sorry. Rees Mogg is lying when he says public servants are paid on the earnings of the private sector.
Public servants pay tax on their earnings. Saying they don’t is disingenuous.

today.
I’m recognising the extraordinary response from SBLs to the crisis. I’m also celebrating the wonderful online networks that have sustained and supported so many colleagues. You know who you are! 🙏🏼

I have been accosted & followed by 2 different cats on way to & from work today. Magnificent tortie floof this morning 10/10 for friendly & floof
@ruskin147
Keep doing it your way regardless. You’ve got expert advice & also Sophie lives with you so you know better than anyone. I enjoy the pictures & updates
In 2020 I took the opportunity to work 0.9fte & my working pattern is a 9 day fortnight.
I’ve set myself a challenge this academic year to protect my non working day & not allow overspill. Today I have finished all my work; my weekend begins.
Hold be to account

Delighted to announce that I’ll be joining the DfE’s CFO mentoring pilot (run by

) this term.
Trust CEOs should’ve received info about this & it’s worth nominating new or aspiring CFOs.
@thecatreviewer
this fella found some unseasonal fallen leaves in a sun puddle. My only concern was that it’s in the road. No pets. Looked at me & allowed photos. 10/10
@thecatreviewer
gorgeous little bodega cat in Tulse Hill this morning. Didn’t approach for pets as kitteh looked a little nervy and it’s a very busy road! 10/10

gorgeous Floof visiting my backyard today. In fact you’ll see there were two looking suspiciously like siblings. Even the braver one wasn’t up for fusses 10/10 x 2

This absolute unit of a Maine Coone was very appreciative of some fuss. Had to double back to stop him following me to far from home. 😻10/10 for making my day
@thecatreviewer
cats of Provence. Met these two in separate mediaeval villages. Tabby cat welcomed fuss and scritches. Little Tortie a bit more shy but still allowed some pets. 12/10.

unobtainable panfur overlooking the Tesco metro car park. Unbearable indifference when I called out.
Extra points for excellent violin playing. 10/10.
My mentions are a bit overwhelmed so soz if I don’t reply or like. Am trying to read them all.
At least I know this hell site isn’t completely broken. I had thought I was tweeting (x-ing) into the ether since Musk took over 😬
