After an extremely difficult half term - you've made it. Use this next week to catch up with yourselves, text your friends, celebrate with family. Relax. We at BIG are EXTREMELY proud of you. Reach out to us. Share your #LittleWins and #BIGImpacts with us. You've got this ❤️

Well... you did it! ☑️ A huge well done to all teachers (especially in Calderdale!) for their efforts so far this term. I think everyone has deserved a much needed break! Look out for some 'what to do with your half term in Calderdale' tips next week. 📅 First though... sleep!

What are some of your favourite things to do in CALDERDALE? 🌳 It would be great to get a big list of things to do for new teachers who have just moved to the area! It’s half term, so now is the perfect time to explore!

ACT - Association of Calderdale Teachers Food and drinks at The Piece Hall are a must. Give or take a few degrees, you can almost be in an Italian piazza! Also a big fan of cycling. The famous climb of Cragg Vale is the longest continuous uphill in England so if you back yourself, give it a go! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

We ♥️ new teachers networks.

The wonderful Shibden Hall is definitely worth a visit.
