📖 I’m back in @TeachSecondary with a double page spread on measures that leaders and teachers can take to curb and manage use of abusive and offensive language within a school’s shared spaces - if you have a copy, let me know what you think!

🚝 I’m looking forward to joining a fantastic line up of speakers tomorrow at #IncludEd25 - join us in session 1 to discuss the important topic of reintegration from AP and what it takes to make reintegration successful

Heading to IncludEd in January and interested in reintegration?

Make sure you book a spot at this panel discussion!

If you are a Teach Secondary reader, head to page 41 of the latest issue to read my views on unconditional positive regard and building connections with students.

Today some of our Launchpad tuition students arrived in my office with chicken flickin' which I'm rubbish at! - then students from our KS4 PRU made some delicious Pizza and delivered it to my office 🤩
Some great things happening across all of our provisions!

I had a lovely first day as Headteacher with the team at St Helens Alternative Provision Service. Looking forward to welcoming students tomorrow morning across all of our settings.

Good luck to all the year 11s receiving level 2 results today!

Congrats if you do well, if you don't get the grades you are expecting - Remember that your school, friends and family are all there to support and advise you as you decide your next steps.

Can be forgotten, overlooked or ignored by many but one of (the?) most important education sectors is AP. #thisisAP

Really hoping that by joining @bsky.app I'll be able to discuss all things education, inclusion and alternative provision rather than having lots of bots taking up my feed.

Any suggestions on who to follow on here would be greatly received 👋
