Morning #teacher5oclockclub - it's going to be another busy week this week. Two days in Lincoln, one in Nottingham, and another in Sheffield. I hope you all have a lovely Monday.

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub - 7 hours of work driving so far this week, it should be closer to 10 after my trip to Sheffield today! But I'm so looking forward to catching up with our Sheffield and Worksop headteachers and director today. Have a lovely day everyone!

What a fantastic day yesterday meeting with our trust SEND lead and an incredible SENCo at one of our Nottingham schools, as well as lovely staff and pupils, to explore CPD for 2025-26. Looking forward to more inspiration today - have a good one #teacher5oclockclub

Morning #teacher5oclockclub - excited to meet with Senior Leaders at one of our Nottingham primary schools today, collaborating with primary and secondary colleagues on how we might use instructional coaching to support quality-first teaching. I hope your days are as inspiring!

Morning #teacher5oclockclub - I had the best weekend exploring all things Thomas Hardy with friends! Excited to catch up with colleagues across our Leicester schools this week. Have a good Monday if you're still working, enjoy a rest if your holiday has already started!

Amazing to meet Anya the Therapy Dog Forest Lodge Academy in Leicester today. So many amazing partnerships making the difference for pupils across L.E.A.D. Academy Trust

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub and Talk for Teaching.😀 It's the first time checking in for me for a long time (but not because I've not been awake!) - I've been trying to cut down my phone use. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub - a great, productive week so far. Off to L.E.A.D. Professional Development in Lincoln today. Wishing everyone all the best as exam/test season continues for all our pupils - primary and secondary.

Schools are not islands, we serve communities in and across places. I highly recommend this new The Sutton Trust report showing inequality of opportunity by place as well as social class across the country. Leaders and teachers may be interested in the map: suttontrust.com/opportunity-in…

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub. Woke up with the birds at 4.30am—beautiful soundtrack, terrible timing. Running on less than 6 hours and a strong coffee. Hope your morning’s gentler. Have a great day!

Morning #teacher5oclockclub! Hope you’ve all had a brilliant weekend. Busy week ahead here - but I’m looking forward to kicking it off with a 7.45am tech test with our Australian keynote for the Bright Sparks Subject Leadership programme. We'll talk accessibility in AfL tomorrow!

An amazing podcast that highlights the inspiring reading for pleasure culture at Warren Academy and offers practical strategies for all schools to explore further. The intro is great, but if you're pressed for time then the Warren team share from 10 mins: youtu.be/taYG9UuTBro?fe…

Morning #teacher5oclockclub – important article on Schools Week today. The Y7 dip in engagement isn’t new - but that doesn’t mean we can ignore it. We need to talk about transition, confidence, and belonging. How do you proactively support? Link: schoolsweek.co.uk/revealed-the-s…

Will I ever lose the butterflies when waiting for everyone to turn up to a big online CPD session!? 'Have they got the link?' 'Am I still connected?' 'What if no one comes despite signing up?' 😂

Morning #teacher5oclockclub – Shane Leaning raises important questions about NPQs and what leaders really need. One challenge, I think, is how separating design from delivery limits responsiveness in the moment to leaders' current priorities. schoolsweek.co.uk/what-leaders-r…

I completely agree with Mr P MBE here - as a parent and as an educator. A heart to heart over a glass of squash would have been great, but to suggest that "real love" is rooted in giggling at your child's poor behaviour when you've picked them up from school is something else!

Please retweet, especially if you're in or near Doncaster. Let's get Moley home!
