One fine day the idea that a school can be meaningfully evaluated on a two day visit by strangers will be so soundly debunked, those that supported/defended it will cringe at their folly and I and others will bask in the glory of our right-all-alongness. If I’m still alive!

Good to see Birmingham Head Tracey Thompson 🇯🇲 (my ex DHT), as part of the crack team! 🔥Birmingham Education Partnership Hydeh Fayaz

Tracey Thompson 🇯🇲 ChristChurch Primary Sonia National Literacy Trust Pie Corbett Kurly’s Poetry - school workshops Here are a couple of pics to prove I make the same reading choices as my dog. Sadly, he doesn’t have pyjamas.

Really loving my job ChristChurch Primary
We are having an amazing bookish week - giveaways, book swaps and today was the best: PJ and Onesie day with a bit of get caught reading pics thrown in ❤️📚. If anyone is willing to send a pic of you reading, I’ll share them with the kids.

Another amazing visit to my old school! Thanks to all the staff and pupils at Hall Green School for creatively raising and sharing positive voices and words. Celebrating inclusive literacy with spoken word poetry.

What an amazing day ChristChurch Primary with poet extraordinaire Kurly’s Poetry - school workshops. KS2 had a poem, imagination, our vision, super duper teachers and Kurly. The poetry slam at the end of the day was excellent. The smiles on our children’s faces said it all. I am ❤️ term 2 of headship.

Another Christmassy day ChristChurch Primary. The Stringcredibles in the morning - schmazing 🤩 and the Christmas 🤶🏾 Fayre in the afternoon. Loving this journey of headship ❤️

Amazing day - Christmas Cantata (am) - vids pending and I judged our Christmas decorations competition - funny story. Since starting, I have found a million pairs of scissors, lolly sticks and glue sticks 😳🤣. We gave packages out. Look at their creations 🤩 I ❤️ being a HT.

Rest in Peace and Power! What a brummie icon 😔 ❤️🙏🏾

It’s my birthday on Saturday and my site manager left this on my table at 7am (I am not in Thurs/Fri). A lil early for dessert but what a start to the day😍. My site manager is better than yours 🤣😊 - 10 weeks in and I feel blessed. Now to indulge 😋

My favourite episode! Already on my second listen!

There is so much I agree with here:
All children can
Collaborative culture
Just read
Read the end first
I am good and can be better

Huge fans of the Small But Mighty!
