A few days delayed, but it's April, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop A New Chapter - Children's Bookstore. For a chance to win, simply retweet this lil tweet.

5 days to go all - powered by sunshine and most likely, sugar.

No one tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain to allow amazing things to happen after experiencing trauma or pain. Blessings exist, good people exist, and a soft life exists. Let it happen.

I had a clear out today. Here are two lots of books. I'm giving them away for free, cos I want to. The first pic to a primary school. The second pic to a secondary school. If you'd like them for your school get in touch. I'll choose the schools tomorrow. UK only PLEASE RT!

CHLOE KELLY, SHOUT IT LOUD!!! England are EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS! 🏆 #BBCFootball #WEURO2025

6 weeks off in summer is great. Retweet this to annoy someone who really begrudges all that time off teachers get.

Truth matters. Whatever your views on Lucy Connolly’s sentence (and I have said that I don’t think that immediate imprisonment was necessary), she admitted inciting serious racist violence. She then gave evidence on oath to the Court of Appeal and was disbelieved.

Quite the spectacle: voices who've cheered on austerity saying 'oh god, SEND spending is out of control'. If you gut councils, fail to provide local special school spaces, collapse SureStart and leave public/collective transport to rot, that's what happens. Cuts are expensive

🧵Sometimes you pull over in a lay-by and want to howl with frustration. Working in edu for 28 yrs & now with hundreds of schools every year & the stories I heard once a in a blue moon are now multiple times in a single class in almost all schools. It’s absolutely heartbreaking

‘If there is to be no more money – and we have to make do with less (again) – then there are some real expenditures the Department for Education could actively work on reducing that would help hugely’ schoolsweek.co.uk/5-helpful-ways…

Hi Bridget Phillipson Schools are struggling at the moment. 14 years of cuts have coincided with unparalleled rises in behaviour, attendance and complex SEND needs. There are no AP places and schools are barely coping. Tell you what, let’s raise the phonics target to 95%. Good idea.

Lol at the predictability of a local news article re a weather warning for ice/snow tonight and the comment with the most traction … ‘well that will be teachers wanting another day off then whilst the rest of us go to work’ 🤣🤣

UK revenues at Elon Musk’s X fell by almost 60% in a year as advertisers pulled their spending over concerns about the social media platform’s content theguardian.com/technology/202…

Obviously nothing has been learnt by Ofsted. The new framework is undoubtedly biased against those who are inclusive, those in the most disadvantaged areas. Those doing the hardest job penalised again.

My biggest regret as a parent… Knowing what I know now, I wish I could go back and make better choices to not take my kids digital footprint away from them knowing the risks about what platforms do with their data. Sharenting is something we all, as parents and schools, need

Considering applying for a deputy role - having been a phase and subject lead for 10-years; any tips or advice on what to expect in interview and the job more generally? Would be a big change as I’ve taught at the same school since my NQT year!
