Proof reading this week - a job I am increasingly asked to do and as I travel less I have more time for. I do enjoy it - I have the privilege of reading some very interesting final drafts.

I swear my watering can gets bigger and heavier by the day... hard work after a day on the road.

I’m proud to say I was not afraid to show my emotions when tears were near
I’m pretty sure every woman leader has had a cry at work. We are human. When our work matters, and we care about it, we feel it.

Interesting item by Seamus Murphy (TES) on MATS & inspection says inspection could demystify MATs & as we are still in early stages of shaping the system;
'That process will not be complete until we can move beyond a debate focused on structure to one that prioritises quality.'

I talk to lots of head teachers because I visit lots of different schools to do CPD. The consistent message atm is around higher levels of needs than was previously the case. The system itself, with Ofsted pressures and DfE demands, is imo actively working against the flexibility needed to respond.

Delighted to see Julian Grenier's quote in TES; The EEF states that “language provides the foundation of ...thinking & learning & should be prioritised”. He says we should give every child the strongest possible start... 'by prioritising talk & movement before pencil & paper.'
