Really really really hard and I think in part it's not worrying or living up to expectations of the role to some extent. Going to the gym, meeting friends whatever early after work isn't bad especially when it leads to better performance and wellbeing. It's an investment for work.

So can any wise folks explain where the real discrepancy lies with AWPU funding and the NFF? Is it the formula that needs to change or the application of it at LA level or both? It can't be right a school 5 miles away gets 1k more / pupil.

#deepseek really is amazing. The whole preamble to show the thought process before providing the response is amazing. The ability to add attachments too is significant. Another step down the Ai road.

Wasn't he pivotal in many of those sections that led to this? 🤔🤔

Love our team. This made my day.

100% and those who seek it often shouldn't be.

Not sure why but have a lot of NFL, NBA and Baseball threads. Not liked anybody them.

Good work Dave

You can of they are like that. Awesome shot.

Dog walks are just no fun this time of year. Roll on spring and summer.

Nothing said Leave X more than that gesture.

Heard Give Me Novacaine in the car last night and took me back. Great song and band id stopped listening too.

Good work. Don't think you could do that on X. Two names added and see how we go.

Trying to work out how I just filter out Trump and Musk from all posts as I just don't want to see them at all.

This is the harsh reality and I would also add their own mental wellbeing, when they are forced to make morally wrong decisions for their community and teams. You can't lead without caring for both and cuts undermine all you've worked hard to create with your team.

Love this and sums up the vast majority of our past government.

Good point but academisation is not the only path to improvement and many MATs have failed when supporting a brokered school. Many have been successful but there are alternatives.

We will and the LA have just compounded it further for schools in our area by a 0.5% from the School Block to SEND. It's creating retention issues we don't need and can ill afford.

How many LAs have raided the schools block funding to support SEND? Creating another dent in budgets that were already not balancing. Some schools in our LA close to 80k on provisional indicative figures. A nightmare for leaders and likely to have minimal positive impact on children.

A focus on AP is a wise move but it will simply highlight a huge issue in many LAs around the lack of specialist provision and a lack of appetite to take responsibility for our most challenging and vulnerable. Which is exactly what they should be doing but fear schools will be penalised.

In an attempt to force engagement and create my 1st Bluesky spat. Jaffa Cakes are biscuits 😉 Educational posts to follow.

Happy to try and do my bit.

Awesome thanks Tom. Feels sad starting again but if it means less toxic I'm in.

So I've made the move, no followers over here yet so anyone suggest great people over here to follow as handles have all changed. Have a great day.
