It’s Sunday night and England are playing.

If you know you’ve got families where there is a history of alcohol abuse, domestic violence or anger issues keep an special eye out tomorrow.

Everyone: Christmas is such a nice time in school.
Teachers: Wanna bet? Come walk a mile in my shoes.

Just because it’s on the plan doesn’t mean you have to teach it that way when you get to that lesson.

It’s a plan, not a script.

All these politicians and celebrities with their speech writers and advisors.
Teachers get up and give 5 or 6 brilliant ‘speeches’ off the cuff every single day.
Leaders, if you can’t be the reason someone smiles today at least don’t be the reason they cry.
Looking forward to a lie in tomorrow. The kids can watch as many films as they like in the morning.

Teaching is tough.

Don’t forget that, sometimes. It’s not a breeze, it won’t always be easy. Even on the best days it’s hard work.

Cut yourself some slack.

A blog for a Saturday.

The root of the retention problems isn’t funding, or even overbearing leaders.

It’s goes much higher than that.

Trickle Down Edunomics?

The Secret Headteacher

Imagine a world without Friday nights.

Doesn’t even bear thinking about.

Support staff deserve every penny of their pay rise.

Children deserve every penny of it to be funded.
