27 years ago today Peace to all of us who have lost a mother

Sheridan Smith has announced she will star in a new ITV drama called SO SALLY CAN WAIT about an Oasis fan who struggles to get tour tickets even though she queued on Ticketmaster for nine hours

A big shout out for all of those early years staff at the start of the year. For most children it’s their first day back. For some children, it’s their first day ever. Big, big difference.

Principals, just remember that you didn’t become a principal to become an emailer.

So true!

10 years ago today, my son tagged along when I gave a speech to Labour Party Conference. Now I’m a new The Labour Party MP, proud to have heard our Education Secretary, @BPhillipsonMP tell Conference and the Country that this will be a child-centred government. Change begins.

Somehow I thought she'd live forever. RIP Dame Maggie Smith.

Someone once said…

You are not your job. You are not your parents. You are not your credit score. You are not your school diploma. You are not the clothes you wear. You are not the size of your network. You are not your house or neighborhood. You are the sum of your words, choices and actions.

Fight for people who you care about.

If you don't enjoy spending time around children, education may not be the right path. Teaching is as much about relationships as it is about content.

Not something I thought I would ever say BUT Be more Google Maps! X 💚❤️

It never ceases to amaze me just how toxic some workplaces can be. Just when I think I’ve seen & heard it all, I see/hear something else that makes my jaw hit the floor. Thank goodness for the 1000s of delightful teams & organisations out there working positively & proactively.

So true!

True story!

Another true story!

Today has been the best kind of reminder of how teaching, in the right place, with the right culture and the right people, truly is the best job in the world.
