My son is vegetarian and has been for years and has said he has never found anything that replaces bacon, much to his disappointment 😂

I remember us all at EdExec waiting to find out whether you had got the role. Where has the time gone?!

Well done Micon, we were in London today and could see them running along the embankment and it looked like hard work.

Absolutely Andy... in Kent parents have to apply and some may not have the knowledge or understanding of how to do that. Every school I've worked in I have pushed and pushed this and supported parents in applying, but we still miss people.

I'm taking early retirement... although I'm also looking for a part time role to keep my brain active!

Piece work has been around for years. My mum spent years working in the fields, and she was often paid for picks not hours.

You need to staff it. Staff are expensive, even when on minimum wage.

No. English schools trying to balance already stretched budgets.

Please try and convince them all to stay home and not come into school, I like the peace and quiet 😉

Really clear data. If schools were better funded for more staff at the very beginning, and the appropriate support put in place, then EHCP's would reduce, thus taking pressure off overcrowded maintained and Academy specials, preventing a need for expensive indy provision.

I was an exclusion officer for the LA for eight years back in the early 2000's... carrying a knife was always a permanent exclusion and rightly so.

Exactly that.

Definitely a possibility 😂

It's just one ridiculous sentence after another from him.
