@MrBenParnell Where do I apply Ben? You know it makes sense. L18 and a company bicycle and I'm yours.

@shobbrook_jo Schools are in an invidious position trying to protect staff/pupils, and the culture of teacher-blaming is long-established by governments and factions within MSM; September guidance is loose, arguably reckless - and as you say, no budget for additional supply.

@MichaelRosenYes That's a new genre, @MichaelRosenYes - the six-word horror story.

@julianjmorgan1 @lucyjoannamorg1 My first Head of Department used to send me hand-written (it was pre-email) motivational Bowie lyrics most days during my NQT year. Daft, but it helped and I remembered. This tweet 'took me back', so thank you. The perfect cure, you might say.

@branwenjeffreys The tip of a considerable iceberg; possible Covid measures in schools if numbers escalate, tension with unions created by pay freeze/inflation, additional NI costs for schools/trusts, and much more. Tough gig.

@bioharrison @DevizesSchool @julianjmorgan1 They are working door-to-door in Trowbridge, and are certainly pushy. Part of sales pitch was photos of local families (named!) who had signed up. Not for me.

@MrBenParnell Well I've seen you in cycling shorts, and can vouch that the nappies thing is incorrect. Hope you're keeping well.

@Feargal_Sharkey Feargal, we met many years ago at a CLA event and your passion for clean water was impressive, inspiring. It certainly helped shape my thinking as a trout nut. Thank you for what you are doing.

@AmandaWilson910 The courage and determination of my staff, who have been incredible and selfless, and 150 amazing kids. And quite a lot of coffee.

@tweetbytheriver @Adam_Higton @joinsteadyEN I'm proud to have joined the shoal this weekend, and have some exciting adventures planned for my enamel badge already. Still my favourite corner of the internet x

Very proud of Year 6, who were a credit to the school at this weekend's camp, and who are in this morning ready to learn (and some were up very late watching football). We Are Rowde!

I suspect there will be some late bedtimes this evening, and a sleepy school in the morning. If it goes to penalties, I may add nap time to the school curriculum. And that's just the staff.

@Apple_Supply I have worked in secondaries where they became a significant problem, but good sense/consistency resolved it; not difficult. Bigger things to focus on strategically right now, and a chance to look at the why/when/how of education. Time for some vision!
