Back home following a lovely few days in the lakes. Ullswater was beautiful. Wainwright was spot on. It hosts the finest walk in Lakeland.

Lovely few days in the North York Moors with all the family. Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay the jewels.

If you’re interested in exploring different approaches to accountability, this new book from @headrestuk.bsky.social will help.

As a profession we need to speak for ourselves, and those in this book are bravely doing just that.

Includes a foreword by Rt Hon Lord Jim Knight.

Looking forward to the latest timely issue of Impact @collegeofteaching.bsky.social.

With all the stuff about retention, Ofsted and accountability, it’s a good time to be thinking about teacher professionalism and why it’s so important.

Been using this model a lot recently to structure coaching conversations with school leaders.

The Authentic Leader Model includes 9 baseplates that lead to impact.

From experience, they are things that leaders need constantly to pay attention to. Who is attending to them in your school? #edusky

Nothing says ‘romance’ more than an early morning concrete delivery. Keeps the fire burning. ❤️

Latest Ofsted grading revealed.

A very relevant chapter from the new book Beyond Belief by @headrestuk.bsky.social featuring @naht.org.uk and their 2018 Accountability Commission.

‘The way schools are being held to account was doing more harm than good.’

Sadly, it seems nothing will change.

Based on todays Ofsted proposals we should have called the book Beggars Belief. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Frustrating that Amazon seem to be out of copies on publication day. Perhaps best to order from John Catt instead.
