Rick Astley at Glastonbury reminds me of the deputy thatโ€™s been at a school for decades & who just quietly & modestly gets on with everything but when something happens they step up & knock it out of the park & everyone goes, โ€˜wowโ€™ then the deputy just goes quietly back to work๐Ÿ’–

So when a car fails its MOT on some fixable aspects you can get a partial retest within ten days, during which time you can fix any issues. The car is not written off or โ€˜failedโ€™ for the next few years. You get a window of time to fix it. Seems sensible doesnโ€™t itโ€ฆ

Most nursery or wraparound care settings donโ€™t open until 7.30am That means no formal childcare until 7.30am Then thereโ€™s the commute to the workplace after drop off. Early morning work starts/meetings are hugely challenging for anyone with pre school or primary age children.

Longer school days? If we look at it as a proportion of very young childrenโ€™s waking hours then an 8-4.30 day is approximately 75% of their waking hours. Adult equivalent of 75% waking hours 5 days a week would be approximately a 60 hr week on site. Sustainable for children?

If someone had told me that national media, Westminster & the DfE would want to pick my brains about #flexibleWorking 3 years ago, Iโ€™d have laughed. What a difference @WomenEd & 10% braver has made. Itโ€™s now on the national radar & Iโ€™m so proud to be part of the conversation.

๐Ÿงต My 2 youngest childrenโ€™s reports made me well up. The teacher comment sections capture their personalities & unique attributes so beautifully; their teachers know them so well & as a parent I am absolutely certain they are not only making progress but

If you know anything about me, youโ€™ll know Iโ€™ll give away every idea, piece of time or any resource I ever have if someone might find it useful. Sadly 3 times this week Iโ€™ve had instances where my work has been used/copied directly, passed off as someone elseโ€™s and not credited.

Just finished my 24th year in primary, which means September will mark the quarter century year. Do I get a carriage clock or something? ๐Ÿ˜

Understanding EYFS is so crucial for understanding how we learn. If you want to see pretty much any aspect of exceptional t&l practice,nip down to eyfs & have a brilliant eyfs practitioner explain the provision & approaches. Guaranteed itโ€™ll blow your mind.Iโ€™ll owe you ยฃ10 if not

So the boy just did his first Jnr parkrun. Only 3 years 3 months old & he ran 2km in 16 minutes. This is despite him falling over & cutting his knee at the 1km mark. โ€˜We donโ€™t give up mummy!โ€™ was his response when I asked him if he wanted to stop. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

How on earth has my car insurance more than doubled with the same car, no claims and no changes whatsoever to me or the vehicle? Whoโ€™s your current/most recent best and cheapest car insurer?

Impossible decisions to be made by school leaders next week.Damned if they do, damned if they donโ€™t. Everyone with an opinion,everyone hot & bothered & exhausted.Whatโ€™s appropriate for 1 school or context or transport wonโ€™t necessarily translate. Solidarity & support.Stay safe

When youโ€™re so tired that in a conversation with the school receptionist you forget the word for gum shield, go completely blank and call it a tooth jacket. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ณ
