What a team 😍 huge congratulations to our class of 2023 🎓

Really??? How many issues does this raise? Ever thought that perhaps fixing the problems around attendance would be better than asking already stretched headteachers to do the job of the parents? Perhaps she may like to hire a minibus and try it for herself? Stupid idea

Every time I listen to a talk show on BBC Radio 5 Live I hear another celebrity promoting a new book. Here's an idea: Why not have a session for unknown authors publishing for the first time to have a bit of publicity? Helen Skelton Nihal Arthanayake . Shameless self promotion on my part!

Spending some time reading a book designed to help trainee teachers. 50 pages in and the word "children" has not been used. Getting a bit annoyed. #education #edutwitter #childrenfirst.

Sometimes the North East coast, early in the morning is beautiful. No filters on this picture. #northeast #sunrise

Join Primary Education student Emma for an exclusive Instagram Takeover on Thursday! Emma will be sharing her experience of applying through #Clearing and answering questions about her time at Sunderland. Future applicants and anyone interested can tune in from 1 pm.

Absolutely beautiful morning walk today.

Looking forward to meeting a new cohort of BA Primary Education students on Monday. A privilege to be a part of training the next generation of primary school teachers. Can't believe this is my 21st September in teaching. #primary #initialteachertraining

First week of teaching for our Y1 BA Primary Education students. It's fantastic to see the potential teachers of tomorrow. Let's look after them and remember to look after ourselves.

What a lovely morning!#sunrise #NorthEast

The £240 million paid to Rwanda would have paid the annual salary of around 6500 nurses. Rough figures but something to think about. #ConservativeParty #migrants #howaboutsomehumanity
