He was!
Thatβs a great shout
Thank you so much for sharing
I love Radical Candor. Not read Doerr yet! Will have a look. And yes, that bigger picture is so important
And so key to think ahead! The time is too precious to waste
Thank you so much! Love Andyβs work. I was lucky enough to be coached by him when I first became a Head
Never is! Just want to maximise the privilege of other peopleβs time
Yes absolutely. All about ongoing development and unrelated to pay. Maybe itβs a case of reiterating that as well?
Morning all! I need your hive mind. Top tips for a decent appraisal discussion and process to make it really meaningful and lead to tangible outcomes for all? Thank you so much π
I thought it was pretty cool too!
Nearly at the end of Term 1 and had my first wet gate duty! Winter is here in Riyadh.
And check out the skies we got to enjoy on our run tonight βοΈπ
Enjoy that sun! Just invested in a very cosy coat for my other in law so that she thrives during another jersey winter!
Not everything about play needs an adult or content π. Sometimes children just need time to be. Babies need time for unoccupied play (adult is there), such as kicking their legs, trying tummy time, or putting their hands feet into their mouths, helps babies explore the world #PlayMatters #Earlyyears
Oh gosh!! That looks like a reading inside kind of day!

Yalla, let's go! Despite some long days in a very busy week, I still love doing my gate duty at 0700! Lots of smiley learners and happy parents arriving, projects coming in, birthday cakes being shared, and lots of excitement for the day.
Thank you so much. I was so saddened to hear the news. Her pod was amazing- so human, so honest and so much food for thought about education and how we support our most vulnerable. May she rest in peace
With the passing of Janey Godley, one of my lasting memories of her was the excellent interview she did with @cstewart.bsky.social and @thosethatcan.bsky.social. Well worth a listen to hear the fascinating (&challenging!) journey she had open.spotify.com/episode/6ETX...
Mortified about how long it has taken to read+ review this amazing book by @phoenixedsarah.bsky.social Half term finally gifted me the time, and gosh was it worth it
π οΈso many ideas for my SEMH toolkit
π§ great ideas for CPD @BeechHallRiyadh
πgreat points on parental links
A must read!
Wow!! So excited to hear what you think!
Another book to add to my TBR pile.
Looking forward to delving into this!

Love this Mary. Such a pertinent reminder as we go back. Life is bigger than school, and a school is a microcosm of society. Our first job is to support every human in that microcosm (big or small) so that they feel supported and empowered to be themselves
Gone for a fully balanced weekend here, after the first week back at school.

And keeping our promise of exploring somewhere new each weekend. Todayβs treat was Wadi Namar.
How are you keeping balanced pre work?
Thatβs my hope! Rather than loads of new initiatives, just focusing on doing the basics really well and feeling a sense of pride in our offer
Yes, looking at things like consistency and loyalty and how we build that. Hoping it resonates!
Nope! But could be a fun wake ip activity!
Love Hampshire!! Have the best time β€οΈ
Anyone guess the themes for my INSET this week? Always such a challenge to balance (hopefully) useful PD, headlines on our aims and direction and time for planning and setting up for each colleague. Excited to welcome the whole family back after a great induction this week β€οΈ
Good effort! Struggling to get back into it over here. 40+ even in evenings. Hoping to get back into routing next week
Another thumb up for them! Thank you!
