Loved a half term day with the boys. Captain America, then little budworth walk, then build a bed, then the social club for pool and darts. Best day!

My school has never had a formal T&L policy (has other docs), but I’m introducing one from Sept. It’s a couple of paragraphs and 10 bulletpoints. Hoping it will support incremental improvement, provide clarity and continue to support professional autonomy #EduSky

“Like all the ways in which schools are not simply factories, they are also homes”
