In loving memory of the late, great George Michael who passed away on 25.12.2016 and the beautiful Melanie Panayiotou who sadly passed away on 25.12.2019. So much heartbreak for their family. My thoughts are with their family, friends and Lovelies everywhere.

🧵 I’ve been thinking about this statement from the DfE about the increase in support staff in schools. We have way more than double the average % of EHCPs, most of whom do not bring in enough funding for us to support them.

...unfortunately, it has to be our #PrimaryRocks edchat at this moment in time. I am OK, but I know that over the coming weeks, there are things that I will miss if I am not mindful so I need a hiatus.
Thanks for all your contributions over the years and I hope to be back soon.

I have started back at the beginning of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I have read The Colour of Magic and now onto The Light Fantastic. I was really sad when he died and I put off reading his last book because I knew that was going to be IT. So I've started from the beginning again! #PrimaryRocks
