Social evening & first rehearsal with ⁦Tom Coxhead⁩ as our new Director of Music 🎶 🥂 you could be part of the music at Christ Church East Sheen!

Absolutely lovely young Ukrainian woman needs re-matching in #Ripon - great English, working 16 hours, can anyone host? Has +ve host reference. Deserves extra care - she set up a humanitarian station on the Slovakian border & helped MANY others before completing her journey here.

Another little snippet from our Autumn Concert, this time our chamber choir’s beautiful rendition of The Long Day Closes. Simply sublime 🎶 🎵 🎼 #livemusic #singing #choir

If people are struggling with workload, it's almost always an issue of 1. Too much to do 2. Crappy systems Some ideas for solving each 👇👇

I’ve got one lad at school today and one lad at home due to the strike. Having been a Chair of Governors for over 10 years I fully support the #TeacherStrike - it’s not just about pay- schools are under-funded and undervalued and it’s getting worse.

We'll be back.

We're teaching Of Mice and Men as part of a unit on America and are short of texts. If anyone is getting rid of a set, we'd happily pay postage. Thanks! #teamenglish

Of course she's brilliant and working with her is the greatest blessing a scruffy music teacher like me could dream of. But Lucy is what happens when you make instrumental tuition available to disadvantaged children. Help us to get this message across to those who decide.

Can I please get everyone here tomorrow? Would you show up? John Rankin School, Newbury Who would support? I'm doing this! Help! I don't know what this will look like! Please? For #RuthPerry #StrongerTogether #ShineOn

Flora Organising this instead, inspired by Flora’s brave stand. Please come. Please share widely

I have just signed the National Education Union Replace Ofsted petition. We must create a new accountability system that supports schools and pupils, not punishes them. replaceofsted.valueeducation.org.uk #LetTeachersTeach #ReplaceOfsted

Proof that Tom has no fear of heights! We would never use a drone inside precious buildings so Tom is happy to climb (whilst safely attached to the building with a harness) to get the best shots for you - here he is high up in Ripon Cathedral - Online concert coming very soon!!!

I think we've all learnt a lot more about Ofsted this week than any of us knew. Keep the momentum going. We've only just begun. We can all agree schools must be held to account, but let's look at the system with which we do it-keeping the children at the heart. #ShineOn

Watch out for a guest appearance 😃

This video from Norwich City FC is the best bit of Mental Health Awareness I’ve ever seen… watch until the end.

Naturally everyone will talk about Chandler but Matthew Perry’s entire of body of work is stunning. Studio 60 is one of the greatest TV shows ever. More importantly the work he did supporting addicts showed the person behind the artist. What a loss. #RIPMatthewPerry

“I had the best foster carers in the world and they gave me the ability to dream” - Brad composed a piece for Frank and Ev for #ThePiano final, and they gasp as he reveals this on stage

Lovely to see the brilliant Brad named performer of the night at #ThePiano final. Such a talent. Entirely self-taught. A great example of what kids in care can achieve, given the chance. Here's my chat with him theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/a…
