Thanks to the editorial team at @thetimes for allowing me to pay tribute to Mr Lawrence in today's paper. The piece is available online - https://t.co/jvLGgZNjne

28 yrs ago St George’s lost a great headmaster in tragic circumstances. I wouldn’t be in broadcasting without the help and guidance of Mr Lawrence. He will always be remembered for his kindness, energy & enthusiasm. He wanted to give every pupil an opportunity. RIP Mr Lawrence 🙏🏿

Had such a lovely morning @JfkSend Waterloo class at @ASL_Bridgets cafe. We enjoyed tea, snacks and chats, independent ordering and communicating. Was so much fun, we (students and staff!) want to go every day…

Here's to the man who once in a while gives you a smile. Let's celebrate the lives of people with disabilities who do ordinary things and live ordinary lives.

Waterloo class enjoyed an educational visit to West Ham park. Pupils enjoyed looking at the icy fountain and the birds flying through the air. The sun was shining and we explored all the corners of the park! ⛲️❄️🌳

Thank you to @lovewilko @entertainertoys @paintballing @EmpoweringLearn @Rinkoffbakery @NewhamBookshop @junkyardgolf @TPositiveTC @brushandbubbles who have all donated prizes for this! It is a massive support to our school community.

R.I.P Mr Lawrence 🙏🏿

Reached a pinnacle of my teaching career today: taught a student to successfully, independently open a packet of crisps. That’s life skills right there @JfkSend

Today I visited Rokeby School in Newham where they’re using our new toolkit to teach the next generation of men about becoming allies and building healthy relationships. By educating and informing young Londoners, we will change the way society treats women and girls.

Here’s a nice thing. The TV version of This Is Going To Hurt is all about the mental health of doctors, and culminates with the death by suicide of a junior doctor called Shruti (spoiler alert). There is a scene where a tree is planted in her memory, shot at Ealing Hospital. 1/3

A huge world of stories opened up to the students thanks to @Literacy_Trust @PenguinUKBooks

Don’t want to brag, but my class smashed it. #waterloogottalent

Waterloo Class at Stratford are hard at work this afternoon exploring Numicon in an independent learning task. #AutismAcceptanceWeek

Fascinating thread highlighting the importance of listening to the lives autistic experience when introducing a ‘tool’ (and I like ZoR but I find yellow confusing, and find that students often pick green to ‘please’ the adults.)

And Mr Tumble @_JustinFletcher taught me to sign, which has been invaluable.

Please record the awkward moment when you tell them you’ve spent most of your career campaigning to have people from Eastern Europe deported.😉

Was there ever a more unobtainable Xmas present than this?
