Welcome everybody new! Nice to see more people coming to join us over here on #edusky

Apologies for the radio silence on here. This week, I’ve been getting into the nitty gritty of the new job, had an interesting day at the N.Yorks DSL conference and received this prestigious award:

Ofsted has proposed major changes to inspection in response to its Big Listen today – from a rebuilt framework to a new focus on inclusion.

⏱️ Our graphic below details a timeline of the reforms, and you can read more about them here: www.tes.com/magazine/new...

While I’ve been immersed in the new school, I’ve missed the further updates about #Ofsted today - just catching up now and I can’t describe how even just small changes are going to make such a difference to mental health. Thank you Bridget.

Day 2 ✅
- Great to meet lots of the children - learnt a few names but still so many more to go!!
- Nice chats with parents on the gate
- Lovely being around Reception as they arrived for their first day!
- Quite a few jobs ticked off the list
- Delivered a mediocre assembly 😂 Better luck next time!

Day 1 done ✅
- Delivered Safeguarding training
- Organised ‘welcome back’ lunch
- Chatted to lovely new colleagues
- Added even more questions and decisions to make to my list!
Lots to learn and lots to think about but a very enjoyable start to my new role ☺️

Six years ago, literally nobody asked me what my advice would be for new teachers starting in September.

So I told them.

And now, years later, still nobody has asked me.

So here it is again

Office set up today and training day planned. Less than a week to go until I officially start the new role. I thought I’d be nervous but at the moment I’m just really excited!

If you see this, post a photo you made of a sunset

I now have the keys to the new school - all starting to feel a bit real!!

I’m a primary Headteacher moving from a Bradford school to a North Yorkshire one this summer. In fact, collecting the keys to the new place tomorrow! All change… #EduSky

Thought I’d give Bluesky a try in the hope of finding something closer to how Edutwitter used to be! 🤞🏻
