A hard one... Are you suggesting I should have gone for the kids puzzle or something?

@mrlockyer.bsky.social Just explored your puzzles website. They look incredible. Just ordered the mangetout collection.

I would add that, when I've tried using it for SEF action statements or Heads Report, it phrases things far more generously than I ever would. It presumes everything is brilliant even when I've inputted some limiting factors.

Policy and risk assessment drafts, summarizing data such as feedback comments, general chat functions like giving me an annual template of assembly music that matches themes, communication analyst and simplifier. Nothing you can't do and it does nothing perfectly but it gives you a good headstart.

Can't wait for Gladiator III and the scene where the aliens fight the dinosaurs in the Colosseum.

Got it a while ago but really starting to explore it... SLT AI is definitely worth the punt.

In a conversation with a friend whose kid has just discovered them.

Turns out I know quite a bit about Transformers.

I'm so glad we're all on here. Twitter was becoming far less echo chambery for my tastes.

What about longer inspections. Didn't they used to be in school for weeks on end?

We use a wicked problem perspective to help us map out our school improvement plan.

Can you DM on this?

Looking for some whole school ICT development ideas. We could upgrade two suites or one suite and... insert your ideas here.

10th November 1992: School was fine. Got done because B broke the table me and five other people were sitting at. Mum's home. Got a mini whiteboard and loads of sweets.

There's a line where Sunday cooking goes from being enjoyable to 'will this ever end?'

2nd November, 1992: Went to school today. It was fine. We've got Mrs ***** for design, she's such a cow sometimes. Had a piano lesson. Went ok.

Bullock looks interesting.

My teachers were gutted it was the end of term. 'Just one more week, sir.' they pleaded.

That moment you finish reviewing a policy on a Sunday then realise it's scheduled for Term 1 2025.

It's raining. I'll give the weather that.

Another Year 6 cohort, another group of boys obsessed with sigma.

I used it for a two slide conversation between me and AI and we all had a good laugh. It may not have been a useful demonstration.

AI bit went down a storm.

Got AI to write my inset. What could possibly go wrong?

And is the expectation that all of your current Heads are in control of, and accountable for, all aspects of headteachering? Budget, devolved capital, curriculum development and oversight, staffing (recruitment, appraisal, managing change etc), HR issues, H&S and everything else?

I'm curious what your MAT looks for in terms of 'proven track record of school improvement'? Is that in one setting/ context or more? Does it take into account a track record of successful financial and personnel management of the school?
