The unwanted rubbish that comes up. I don’t even want to say what about in case it makes it worse! Admittedly it’s not as bad as the other place but it’s way more than I want. And I’ve been really careful about who I’ve followed…..🙄

What is this?

Just like the other place, my “following” is worse than my “discover”.

Really? 🤔

Holiday reading isn’t always fiction. This Christmas I finally read The Headteacher’s Handbook cover to cover — and it reminded me why I’ve recommended it to every new Primary Head. My reflections are in the new blog.

And if I’m wrong then the HLTA needs to be paid on the teachers pay scale if they’re being expected to meet teacher standards (which you would for ECT).
Either answer, someone’s not going to like it!

I doubt it as HLTAs are not accountable to teacher standards. But I don’t know for sure.

Look at their website. Some schools put their priorities on there.
Last Ofsted report- how recent was it? Are those action points still valid?
What does external data look like? Any issues there?
But other than this I think it’s a full evaluation of the school, & add in a few ideas of your own.

<< and then Danny was next to me at the communion rail. The vicar’s coming along the row and Danny says to me “you staying for coffee after?” 😳
The vicar practically had to wait for me to answer before he could carry on!
But I really do love them.

Today at church I sat (as I usually do) in front of two old boys: David & Danny. I love them both. But it is like sitting in front of the two old boys from the muppets. You get a running commentary of everything in stage whispers. Including when they get lost in the hymn/service book>>

I know one of those who hounded a head out of his job.
Such a waste. And for what? She took her kid out if the school anyway.

AND sometimes they don’t show anyone who’s boss, they just say they did.

I don’t really come on here. I’m still on X (although prob not for much longer) and insta.
All good with me.
