Facing the same challenges most school leaders seem to be navigating but when I’m not consumed by frustration about all that, I’m good ☺️ How’s you?

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the latest ep of Full Disclosure with Cariad Lloyd, @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Just a really gorgeous, thoughtful conversation. I’m glassy-eyed but in the nicest way. I’m going to revisit episodes of Griefcast that I hadn’t listened to – I used to love it. Thank you💛

Just verified my age using face scan; it confirmed I’m over 18.

Bit rude.

The main way to improve the reading sat would be to take the time element out of it. They can either read and understand it or they can’t. What’s an hour got to do with anything? Let them do it till they’re finished if you want to know if they can read.

Ban children under 16 from social media.
Take parental choice out of the equation.

Anything less will simply not keep children safe and any Designated Safeguarding Lead will tell you the Online Safety Act doesn’t go far enough.

Switch.
It.
Off.

…from these pages. My heart aches for him and children I know. I felt angry and upset and many things in between.

This book reminds us that, whatever the circumstances, it is never a child’s fault and we must lead with empathy and care.

Just stunning, @tompercivalbooks.bsky.social 🖤

Third book of 2025 finished.

All teachers should read it. Many (most?) of us will teach and know children living in poverty, like the main character, Will.

It is beautifully written and deeply confronting; the sense of Will’s constant state of being on high alert radiates…

Book one of the year underway; I’m going to reinvigorate my love of reading, fiction in particular. Truth is, I still love reading but have a real concentration/focus issue with it and only complete books on holiday now 🤪

What’s the best tracker – Goodreads or The Story Graph?

Inspired by @kateowbridge.bsky.social’s end of year card writing, I doodled a little design and wrote each member of staff a card telling them one thing I appreciate about them in particular.

I really need to make more time for drawing and making because I just love it.
