Had loads of people voicing concerns about the ECF. Too much for mentors, workload for people who struggle with workload, clunky next steps platforms etc etc Anyone else experiencing issues with the effort required?

Samraaj, Sulaiman & Mazen are the first pupils of CYM2021-22 to receive badges! They all received a Bronze badge for helping out at last week’s RSHE parent information evening QMGS

Absence rates in secondaries are at 14% compared to 4/5% pre-Covid. Only around half of the difference can be explained by pupils isolating with Covid. It looks like we have a chunk of kids who are now persistently absent following lockdowns. bbc.co.uk/news/education…

Staff Wellbeing. So often seen tokenised by fluff, biscuits & yoga or completely over-complicated. In my experience, colleagues want a safe place to work, free from relentless behaviour battles, unhindered by ‘pseudo-pedagogy’ & supported by simple systems that empower them.❤️

@rlrossi64 Because one day, you'll meet Macbeth. And Lady Macbeth. You might work with them. They won't be as extreme. But they exist. And you'll understand what it is that they are doing. Because studying literature is studying what it is to be human. Geography and History and R.E. are...

This is an important point when looking back to the first lockdown and the role of schools. For a few weeks it was thought kids might end up going to any school near them & a concern not to teach those in school because it would be bad for those left behind.

Any words of wisdom to share with Miss GR after a tough week?

Well COVID has finally caught me! So, I thought I would make the most of the time off work and write a new digest for you. Digest #5 looks at the mental health of adolescents over their time at school! talkpastoral.com/digest-5-the-m… #talkpastoral #edutwitter #educhat #wellbeing #blog

We are looking at revamping our tutor programme!? Does anyone have anything that works really well? @DhtPastoral Pastoral Leaders Pastoral Chat East of England @thepastoralroom
