“Nellie, show me how teachers are feeling at the end of the longest half term of the year.”

Have a great break all that work in schools and make a difference every day.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

I know holidays are for sleeping in, but making the effort to watch the sunrise over the Med at least once is always worth it.

Early start off to that there London. Looking forward to a day discussing how enrichment in and between schools can support engagement, widen experiences and broaden horizons.

Glorious morning too…

After 40+ years The Leadmill in #Sheffield closes next week and a cultural touchstone for the city is to disappear.

So great to spend one of its last nights with the ever amazing @richardhawley.bsky.social

He and the band were just brilliant.

Thank you and goodnight…

A moment when love of work and family overlap...I had been teaching for over 10 years when this little girl came along. Today, she was appointed in her first teaching role, and from September she will become to be Miss Ireland to hundreds of children their families.
