It's still driving me round the bend that I have to scroll down to find my place every time I load my posts on here. Surely it doesn't have to be this way!? #BlueskyHelp
A rare thing today, kids have been taken by a friend, allowing Mrs Goater and me to enjoy an M&S dine in meal. We had no idea what a terrine was until 20 minutes ago 😂 #JustFancyPaté #Valentines #WhyYesThatIsAJungleBookPlate

Sometimes I exaggerate how unaware I am of popular things (I don't know why), but I genuinely 100% have never heard of "Bad Bunny"?? Is that really who did the superbowl half time show?

I don't often read the @teachertapp.bsky.social daily read, but I wanted to know what on earth an attendance robot is. So I read today's blog but I am none the wiser. What on earth is an attendance robot!?

You dont win 'em all! Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard.

I’m stepping back into a HOD role.
I have my own experiences from the first HOD role but what would your best advice be for going into a new dept and what do you wish you’d have been doing from the start?
