In a busy office hallway, diverse staff surround a stressed man in a suit. Above each person are speech bubbles with various requests and complaints directed at the man. Requests include reviewing referrals, addressing children’s behavior, dealing with a flooding toilet, signing off risk assessments, and reading a development plan. Someone mentions Mrs. Jackson complaining about uniforms. Another person needs an accountability report with data on various topics. A clock reads 15:36 behind them. The man in the suit appears overwhelmed, responding he has an important meeting to attend. The scene is vibrant, depicting a hectic work environment with people multitasking and tasked with numerous responsibilities. A pot plant and educational posters are visible, emphasizing an educational setting.

One of many great excuses for being late. 😂 #PRAT #edusky #primary #education #schools
In a schoolyard scene, a woman in pink with hands on hips calls to “Dylan” to hurry. A speech bubble notes clocks weren’t set back. Another woman with a lanyard and badge responds, mentioning being an hour early. A boy, likely Dylan, stands nearby. A man is in the background by a blue fence with a “No Dogs” sign. The fence has a “Play equipment to be used before school” sign and a “Buddy Bench.” A small “Wellbeing” sign indicates a separate area. The setting suggests a conversation about daylight saving time adjustments. The scene captures a mix of urgency and realization.

When something that isn’t funny…is! 😂 #PRAT #edusky #Education #teacher #Primary
The image depicts a classroom scene with students and a teacher. A student asks the teacher, Mrs. Wood, for help with question 7, saying they’re stuck. Mrs. Wood responds, acknowledging it’s a difficult question. Another student interjects with the phrase, “That’s what she said!” This prompts Mrs. Wood to express surprise and question where the student learned the phrase. The classroom has several tables with students seated, notebooks, and stationery. There’s a colorful painting of a tree on the wall and a window with a view of greenery outside. The students are wearing blue tops, and the teacher is dressed in a purple top with a blue lanyard. The atmosphere suggests a humorous misunderstanding among the students and teacher.

A classroom scene with a female teacher wearing a white top and lanyard, standing at the front. Her speech bubble reads, “Erm…where’s Dylan everybody? It’s quiet in here today?” At a desk, four students wearing blue uniforms face the teacher. A red-haired student raises her hand, saying, “I know Miss Amery… he’s gone with Miss t’ read.” Another student smiles. The teacher responds, “Oh. Next question then… who is Mister Reed?” The classroom features large windows with blinds, a colorful tree poster on the wall, and a table with pencils and student workbooks. A green bucket on one desk collects drops from a ceiling leak. The atmosphere is lighthearted, with students attentive and engaged in the lesson.

He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. 🙄 #PRAT #edusky #education #schools #primary
In a cartoon office setting, two individuals are seated at a table with coffee cups, engaged in conversation. A person in a green suit asks, “Mr. Sharp, turning to vision, what are your school’s values?” Mr. Sharp, wearing a magenta vest, replies, “Well… we might be able to get half a million for the playing field!…oh, and the devices around school are very expensive!” A dog lies under the table, holding a green ball. The background features shelves with labeled binders such as “OFSTED,” “BUDGET,” and “SATS.” The wall has a bulletin board with charts and sticky notes, and a counter with coffee cups and a machine. A computer setup is visible behind Mr. Sharp, with windows showing an outdoor scene.

One of those days Mr Birkett? 😂

#edusky #schools #education #PRAT #primary
A teacher with short hair and a beard explains to his students that Pluto is a dwarf planet, but humorously clarifies that it is not related to dwarves. He asks what the capital of France is, and a girl eagerly raises her hand, exclaiming, “I know…F!” The students are wearing uniform blue shirts with logos and stand near a fence adorned with various signs, including one that reads “Play equipment must be used before or after.” Behind them is a tidy garden with a “Buddy Bench” and trees. One student is sitting thoughtfully on the bench. A sign warns against dogs. The scene is lively and educational, creating a playful atmosphere where learning is interactive.

The PRAT curriculum is ‘bulletproof’. 🔫 #PRAT #EduSky #Education #schools #eduskyprimary #primary
In a classroom scene, students are seated in two rows, each with different expressions. A teacher, smiling and enthusiastic, stands near boxes labeled with various school subjects like Textiles, Food Technology, SMSC, Computing, etc. A speech bubble expresses approval of the curriculum’s fast, ambitious, and sequential nature. A student at the start of the year in September appears disengaged with a speech bubble saying, “Carry on! I’m not going to get it anyway!” Another student raises their hand, saying, “Stop! You’re going too fast!” At the year-end in July, a student exits confidently, declaring, “Don’t stop! I already know all this!” Teachers hastily pass a model airplane labeled “curriculum ammo box” with a sense of urgency to “finish a week ago.”

Or written another way for Mr Gove, ‘Are we pissing off the right people?’

To be fair, I think he did piss off the people he wanted to.

Another uncomfortable appraisal for Mr Sharp? 🫣 #edusky #primary #PRAT #schools #education
A conference room cartoon shows a person facing a window with multiple reflections. Each reflection, resembling the person, points outward and has speech bubbles: “Inspirational vision!”, “Excellent communication!”, “Outstanding listener!”, and “Brilliant self-awareness!” Above the window, there’s a logo reading “Pinnacle Rock Academy Trust” with a mountain and a small plane. A digital clock reads 15:36. The person inside the room says, “Who says I’m not reflective?” Nearby, there are bookshelves labeled with “Curriculum,” “Ofsted,” “Risk Register,” “Equality Plan,” “GEMS,” and “Admissions.” A table and an empty chair are visible, and a computer sits on a desk. The humorous scene highlights themes of self-reflection and self-praise in a workplace setting.

Guilty of following initiatives without thinking why? #PRAT #education #schools #edusky
The cartoon depicts a group at a “Forest School.” A man discusses the resilience curriculum. A teacher, Mrs. Wood, is called upon to explain further. She responds to a question about leaning sticks against a tree by saying it’s a time for children to experience new challenges. A student asks for clarification, and Mrs. Wood explains they do den building every other week, using progressively heavier logs through different year groups. The setting is a forest with trees and grass, and a large “Forest School” sign is visible. The cartoon illustrates the educational activities and philosophy behind the Forest School’s curriculum, focusing on experiential learning and resilience-building through outdoor activities.

This is why Mr Sharp is never left in meetings on his own. 😬

A cartoon scene in an office shows two people at a table with coffee cups. The room has filing shelves, trophies, a clock showing 15:36, windows, and a wall-mounted screen. A dog lies on the floor with a ball. A newspaper on the wall features a headline, “Superhead Brought In,” with a man’s photo. Speech bubbles come from the characters: Left character: “Mr Sharp, just to check we are on the same page, can I run a few things by you to see what you understand them to mean?” Right character responds to terms: • “Accountability”: “Counting ability!” • “Interleaving”: “People wanting to quit?” • “Self-regulation”: “Healthy eating?” • “Retrieval practice”: “Easy…that’s one for Jedi here and a ball.” • “Cognitive load”: “Hmm…is that a physics term?” • “Metacognition”: “You meet an education guru?” • “Okay…Let’s return to SEND…er?” with “Address unknown!!!”

Digging your own grave. 😂 #edusky #primary #PRAT #schools #education
A cartoon scene in a school assembly hall shows a teacher giving an award to a student named Dylan. The teacher acknowledges Dylan’s bravery after being bitten by a dog. Curious, the teacher asks Dylan where he was bitten. Dylan responds, “In me garden.” Clarifying, the teacher asks where on Dylan’s body, to which Dylan humorously replies, “On me nuts.” The teacher, amused yet awkward, says, “I did ask… Okay, well done Dylan!” The assembled audience, consisting of students and teachers, smile and laugh. One teacher comments lightheartedly, “One minute you’re down, the next you’re right back up again!” A dog lies peacefully on the floor nearby. The wall features motivational words, “Aspirational” and “Determined.” The light-hearted atmosphere highlights the amusing misunderstanding.

More honest feedback from the kids. 😂 #PRAT #edusky #primary #school #education
A school corridor scene with students and teachers depicted as a cartoon. Students wear blue sweaters and grey pants or skirts. A girl raises her hand, and a boy leans against the wall holding a pink object. One student comments, “Mr Sharp’s shoes are much shinier than yours!” to a male teacher in a grey shirt and brown pants whose text bubble reads, “I don’t like…what do you mean not as smart?” Another student says, “Mr Birkett? Why don’t you wear a tie? You’re not as smart as Mr Sharp!” The teacher thinks, “That’s because he gets everyone to lick them for him!” The walls display the words, “We will be: Bolder,” alongside a rainbow and mountain logo. A “caution wet floor” sign is visible.

In a brightly lit office, two people are seated across a table having a conversation. A woman in a gray suit asks, “Mr Sharp, turning to vision, what are your school’s values?” The man, wearing a vest and tie, responds, “Well…we might be able to get half a million for the playing field…oh, and the devices around school are very expensive!” The woman continues, “Not that kind of…” The walls are adorned with shelves filled with colorful files labeled with words like “Ofsted,” “Budget,” and “SATS.” Trophies are displayed on top. A bulletin board with papers and a patterned chart is on the wall. A yellow dog plays with a green ball on the floor. A coffee maker and cups are on a side cabinet.

A comic-style image shows a group of people standing in a parking area. A speech bubble above a person in a gray shirt says, “I reckon I can go…I don’t think anyone has seen me, have they?” Another person with a short haircut says, “Please tell me that thing can be moved right now, Mr. Hughes! I’m on the edge here! There is a glass of red wine with my name on it in Wales, and I’m in danger of missing it!” A man in a blue uniform responds, saying the vehicle must wait for someone from the regional depot to fix or move it, which could take a couple of hours. The scene includes a van labeled “UNBLOCK” with smoke coming from it.

In a cartoon-style image, two men stand beside a gray Mercedes with the license plate “BDC URU” in a nearly empty parking lot. The man on the left, in a suit with a lanyard, says, “It’s like the Mary Celeste out here! Where is everyone?” The other man, wearing a blue uniform, replies, “They’ve gone for drinks for Mr Birkett’s birthday!” The suited man responds, “Oh…oh yes, I remember now, sadly I can’t make it…” The man in the uniform thinks, “Oh yeah?…” The surroundings include a blue fence, greenery, and a cloudy sky. An electric vehicle charging station is visible near the car.

The many different views on an assembly!! 👇

#edusky #primary #PRAT #education #school
A man holding a guitar stands at the front of a school assembly hall, wearing a name badge and a vest. Speech bubbles express his frustration: “Oh come on - not the guitar…again! I’m so glad I spent all Saturday evening making the assembly plan!” A group of students in blue uniforms sit on chairs facing him. Some students have thought bubbles: one thinks “Cool!!!” while another seems uninterested, thinking, “A million and one things I could be doing now… Number 1…” The walls display banners reading “Aspire Determined.” A teacher stands at the door, observing the scene. The environment suggests a school assembly, and mixed reactions from students about the presentation.

Is Comic Sans still dividing opinion? 😂

A cartoon image of a schoolyard with three characters. Two students in blue shirts stand near a bench labeled “Buddy Bench.” One says, “Tell ya what…! I wouldn’t be seen dead on that bench!” The other asks, “Why not?” The first replies, “Comic Sans font of course!!” In the background, there’s a sign that says “Forest School” and another that reads, “Play equipment must not be used before or after school.” A man in a gray shirt points to the right, smiling, with a sign saying “Keep Active” on the fence.

A colorful kitchen scene with five people interacting. One person, sitting on a sofa on the left, says, “Happy ‘hump day’ everyone!” Three people standing by the kitchen counter react. The first, laughing, replies, “Bit personal!” A man next to her thinks silently. A woman, also standing, responds, “I know! It feels like a very long week!” The woman next to her adds, “Please don’t wish your life away!” The kitchen has wooden cabinets, a countertop with two steaming kettles, a sink, and an oven. Two cups are on the coffee table beside the sofa. The scene portrays a casual, humorous office environment on a Wednesday, emphasizing mixed reactions to midweek fatigue. Large windows on the left show a view of trees and blue sky.

Before I rebranded the school, it was some crap about caring about the needs of all children so they can flourish…

#EduSky
In a school assembly hall, a teacher addresses students seated in rows of blue chairs. A sign on the wall reads, “We will be: Bolder, Aspirational, Determined.” Speech bubbles convey students’ humorous interpretations of the words. One student asks, “It means we will be BAD?” Another inquires, “A pinnacle looks like ‘a spire’?” while others mention “boulders on a mountain” and confusing “deter” with stopping someone from coming. A sleeping dog in the foreground has a thought bubble showing a fan blowing at a poop emoji. A teacher in a pink top sits nearby with arms crossed.
