Update: after a wintry trot through the forest, I can confirm that snow runs are the best. Fingers be damned.

Snow-watch at the plot. The cold frame has succumbed and the pond ice is weight-bearing. But the greenhouse stands majestic and the plucky daffs are poking through.

Cold, slippery training runs this week, with many more miles on the horizon…

I’m running the London Marathon for UK Youth and any sponsorship you can spare would will help them extend their life-changing work 🙏⬇️

The best bit of teaching - that “I made a difference” feeling. A third have it every day, and another third a few times a week.

How many jobs get to say that?

Interesting analysis, enjoyably readable & features another eg of seemingly eternal truth that HTs/SLT report over-rosily on what’s going on for their teachers compared to the teachers themselves. Same in our report on mentoring in schools.
For leaders: it’s probably worse than you think 😬

Nine month a year gwender-sufferer 🙋🏻‍♀️
Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.

Watching the incredible Mo Farah telling his story at #CSTConf24 seems a good moment to say: despite being someone who definitely DOES NOT enjoy running 20+ miles, I’ll be doing the London Marathon for UKYouth to offer vital support to young people. Any sponsorship would be v kind 🙏 lnkd.in/eEqWyBHp
