I got one of those really irritating anonymous letters from a member of staff this week telling me how rubbish the SLT and I are! Just makes you feel crap with no opportunity to follow it up or do anything about it! 😞
The recruitment process is so demanding and time-consuming, but also so rewarding when you manage to secure a great candidate.
Why is it that we, as leaders, often forget the simple joy of being recognised for our efforts? A casual remark in passing can affirm one's path more than a formal evaluation. Let's remember to uplift each other with words of encouragement. It costs nothing, yet means everything.
So, the government don’t want to consider a change to single word judgements at Ofsted. I’ve got a single word thought about that.
Such an uplifting moment today. An ECT that we had just appointed squealed with delight as she walked upstairs back to the staffroom today. The energy and excitement of a newly qualified teacher is hard to beat. 😀
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
Did you know my two have been refused a blue badge? Makes no sense to me either. If you think this should change for other parents please share & sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6559…
Such a heartwarming moment when I visited EYFS today. One boy got a chair, asked me to sit on it, and then sat on my lap because he wanted a cuddle. So sweet. 😊
Such a powerful message challenging preconceptions. linkedin.com/posts/shanidha…
I read The Stinky Wonky Donkey for the first time today. It's brilliant, but make sure you read it out loud the first time you read it. 🤣
I love this. So important to meet the needs of children compassionately and with kindness.

I didn't get my balloons yesterday. Is that still a thing on Twitter (X)?
Love this game. Still got it and still play it. 😊
If you work in a school, check in with your headteacher. Offer them a cup of tea or coffee. It can make a huge difference for someone carrying a heavy load. Remember, they are human beings too. ☕️
This sounds like a much better idea to me.

I agree.
Finally, I made it to the end. Merry Christmas, everyone.

@SecretSpecialHT Oh I feel for you. As others say… if it’s not brought to you face to face (and obviously hasn’t gone through formal whistle-blowing channels etc.,) then I wouldn’t give it much credence. List five positives from this week… and then sail unruffled into your weekend
@SecretSpecialHT Someone who lacks the courage to raise an issue directly is not worth fretting about. That said I used to fret at such things! Do a feel good exercise - sit with your SLT & spend quarter of an hour listing the positives the school has achieved, You will feel better after that.
@SecretSpecialHT How unprofessional of them. My sympathies - they have undoubtedly spoilt your weekend. 😔
@SecretSpecialHT Bit like being a keyboard warrior on the internet anonymously criticising. Give it an honest thought, if no truth in it then forget about it.
@SecretSpecialHT How delightful. Really painful. Just nasty
No school in England is 'inadequate' and no school should *ever* be labelled as such. Every school has things they do well (many, in every single school) & some they do badly. This is how school feedback should be framed when Ofsted is finally abolished. @dan_ofsted, comment?
One of the worst things about human life is that every 18 months you have to call Sky and pretend that you're going to leave them until they find a magical offer which halves your bill which apparently didn't exist when you first rang
Why is it that we, as leaders, often forget the simple joy of being recognised for our efforts? A casual remark in passing can affirm one's path more than a formal evaluation. Let's remember to uplift each other with words of encouragement. It costs nothing, yet means everything.
So, the government don’t want to consider a change to single word judgements at Ofsted. I’ve got a single word thought about that.
@SecretSpecialHT Some of these are worth looking at - vm.tiktok.com/ZGeHneffm/
Mrs W is doing some animal CPD stuff on her laptop. She suddenly looks up and declares, ‘This means nothing to me’. Quick as a flash, I break out into, ‘The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky, it fades to the distance, oh Vienna’. Young people won’t get this.
Despite the rebrand, who still calls this “Twitter”, still calls posts “tweets” and still calls reposts “retweets”? I’m starting; Me 🙋🏼♀️

Can everyone stop showing off going on holiday please. We've got four more days left. Anyone else back teaching next week? Unsure I've got four more days to give.
