Are teachers aware that if they wished to take a case of injustice to the Court of Appeal, they are prevented from doing so by a Law contained within the Education Act 2002? Are unions aware of this and if so what are they doing? It is a breach of teachers human rights.
Flora is the change we need. Coincidence her school gets the call after her tweets this weekend? Go girl. This is what real leadership looks like. No more imagining 'what if HTs refused entry' Flora's done it, so can you!

Been in touch with many headteachers. I am organising a meeting of minds to unite us all in person to discuss ways forward as a 'collaborative group'. Need to keep the momentum going now.
THE SYSTEM CHANGES NOW!
Info re: dates & venue will be shared soon.

This couple both have dementia & have ended up in the same care home after 30 years apart. Their family were so worried how this would go. In bits watching this, bits. Watch his face,listen to them💔
Such a beautiful & moving meeting. My heart, a ‘wee kiss for old times sake.’
I’ve seen this so many times and still find myself laughing out loud every time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Only a couple of minutes here, if you’ve had a heavy day it will cheer you! When you get to work with colleagues like this pair, every day is a gift!

I could weep reading this vile trash. How dare this man write something so appalling? Jeremy Clarkson is the one who should be shamed here. The media create+incite this form of hate crime. This is not OK.
#WeStandWithMeghan
Literally gobsmacked at the utterly vile and disgusting comments written about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson in the Sun. What an utter piece of trash he is…what is it with these type of men that triggers them so?
I am in floods of tears listening to this. God love you Mr Thomas. The service you gave for years we thank you. You are truly the most decent and wonderful human being.

By God this has made me angry. Just 1 suicide because of an Ofsted inspection should be enough for alarm bells about the impact of this hit+miss system. This poor lady is no longer with her family & for what? She dedicated her life to others. I am deeply sorry for the family.
@GMPWythenshawe
@gmpolice
Glad she has been arrested & that wording has been amended to ‘assault.’ This was not a ‘fight’ betwn 2 school pupils as 1st stated but a brutal & vile assault of a child. Whilst it is important not to comment on this now, the power of social media resulted in this thug’s arrest.
Saying no to Ofsted, you sparked a revolution of good people in teaching to come out in support. Be in no doubt you will have made the powers that be nervous, rightly so.
Flora has asked people not to come to the school to protect everyone 👇🏾
Please can people not come to school now in the morning. I have to protect our children, our staff and our community.
Please for the protection of our children and staff.
Thank you to

Sometimes enough is enough. The DfE is well aware of the state of affairs & has been for 7 years. Did people think I would just walk away? I am beyond grateful for support 🙏🏾❤️
Someone took this picture of me delivering yesterday. I am stronger than people could possibly imagine. That is because I believe in all children and the best education we can give them. Thank you to all those who believe in me. Never give up, never give in. I am alive ✊🏾❤️
Stephen Lawrence day April 22nd! Teachers pls DM me if your school would like official SLDF free resources emailed directly. A huge bank of activities to celebrate the life of Stephen now more than ever. Exciting Primary+Secondary ideas!

Extraordinary defence endorsed by the Govt. This school talks regularly about its behaviour standards, yet can’t talk to students about what she cites here. The Ed Sec’s willingness to jump to her defence is no coincidence either. Banning prayer is a form of control. Bullying.

Happy New Year to all the lovely and kind people I have met here on Twitter. You have all been amazing and have kept me going. 2023 is going to be a good one! 🎉🎊🎈❤️
Well done and solidarity to you Flora. Where are you based? In 2010 no where near enough schools boycotted the SATs, what a difference and message it would sent in the long term if the profession had stood together. You are a hero. Keep strong. ✊🏾
Not complicated- potential earnings lost, pensions, legal fees over years, damages to reputation, emotional damage & that is just a start but not a difficult one for MPs who award themselves pay rises regularly. Lives will never be the same. Compensate their families too - now!
In 1993 where were you? What were your ambitions? Stephen was a kind, talented teenager. He wanted to become an architect. Stephen was murdered because of the colour of his skin. Today, on Stephen Lawrence Day, celebrate his life. Stephen will never be forgotten. 🙏🏾
I am going to take some time away. Time to understand the injustice of what has happened. I will continue to fight. Fight in a court where all of the facts can be properly heard. Never underestimate the power of your support. Every one of you made a difference to me ❤️🙏🏾😘
When 4 sisters meet their old Primary School Head Teacher! I went on to work with this dear lady in the very school I was a child in. An afternoon of laughter, singing+ the best memories. 40yrs ago+still she remembered the whole family. Just don't make them like they used to❤️
Unbelievable. Second Sight were extraordinary in all of this. When they were brought in I bet no one, especially the PO expected this to happen. Evil happens when good men do nothing as they say. Good people Second Sight, good people indeed.

When you know you have done nothing wrong, stand tall and hold people to account. They will hope you give up. Today was a good day. The truth always wins.
Happy New Year everyone❤️ Here's to 2022! Life can change in a heartbeat. Live life how you want to. Keep those you love close. Laugh lots and try to stop worrying about things that really don't matter. To those I've met on here, thanks for the friendship and kindness ❤️😘🎉
You have started a very beautiful and important thread remembering all those loved ones people lost in 2023. The celebrities are not the only ones who matter. Your Laura looks so happy here, full of life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

summonsed a witness to claim a racist incident against me did not happen. Witness did not want to be there but told the truth+said it had indeed happened. TRA forced to drop allegation. Shame on the regulator. Shame on those that made me defend it for 6 yrs. I am strong.
How does a white police officer feel qualified to boldly state ‘I’ve never seen what would be defined as racism in this force.’ How does a white person know what racism feels like?

Deeply sad. Richard came to my school, we celebrated the life of Damilola every year during anti-bullying week. He loved the joyful singing, Shine Jesus Shine! A beautiful kind & caring gentleman. I will remember him always, as will the children we taught. Rest now dear Richard❤️
Richard’s family are very sad to make the news public that Richard passed away last night. He had been fighting a long battle with cancer. Sending love and best wishes to all who loved him dearly …

Those of us who have managed schools when a roof caves in, your school is disrupted for 18months & they still send Ofsted in during that period will welcome the lid being lifted on this. P.S the school I led was only 5years old when said roof was deemed unsafe!
School roofs are caving in, hospitals are in special measures, everybody is on strike, nothing works anymore, our public services have been neglected and cut.
Britain is falling apart and it’s all the Tories fault.
Give us an election so we can have grown ups in charge again.

We have all been hoping+praying that Paul who has been in ICU on a ventilator would pull through. He has! ❤️ This week has been a turning point! He is now off the vent+has even managed food today!!!!! Never underestimate what a true hero+ legend this man is.
Another year over, still smiling & full of hope. Only take those into 2024 who have been there for you through the good & the tough times. The rest, stick the marshmallows up to & be grateful for life. Glad to be alive❤️
The way this is written is deliberately divisive - those responsible????! That would be YOU

. I have never understood how they pull rank & bully when it suits but when there is possible corporate negligence, suddenly they spout ‘all bodies responsible.’ Shambolic & shameless.

I am a Muslim. I was never ever taught to hate Jews. I was never taught to hate anyone. I am one of many. I am sorry you were raised with such hate. I was taught to love people regardless of their race, gender, sexuality or social background. Love not hate ❤️
I am an Ex-Muslim.
I grew up learning to hate Jews.
Most Muslims grow up and learn to hate Jews.
No group hates another group as much as Muslims hate Jews.

reveals human nature at its best. The advert does not matter. The rising dead numbers do. Shame on you.
I remember the programme in the 80s about Stephen Wiltshire, an extraordinary child artist. Just stumbled on this. So glad he went on to further his talent & become successful. His work is mind blowing, his story even more so.
Watching Harry yesterday it made me realise what strength of character he has. Sometimes you just have to step out, risk being the only one and stay true to yourself. You lose a lot but never your integrity or who you are 💙🖤
Can’t believe I ever used to shout at kids, am embarrassed at the thought. The trauma-informed, relational approach has taken us years to do properly but school’s such a better place for it. You really have to believe in it & persevere but, goodness me, does it work.

This week I find out decision of TRA They will publish their 'report.' I will limit what I say in response on twitter, as it could go to Court of appeal, depending on what decision is. I also have 2 cases against the LA+NUT that are live+continue regardless of TRA narrative.
‘Don’t let anyone tell you that because you love Palestinian babies and Palestinian children that you hate someone else.’ This is everything in one sentence. We don’t hate our Jewish brothers & sisters, we hate the Israeli occupation.
