If you think I could be of any help, do get in touch.

- You know what might have helped us to keep this new highly contagious variant suppressed? CLOSING SCHOOLS IN THE LAST WEEK OF TERM Like we all said. Muppet. #ListenToTeachers
- When people say 'schools are safe' what do they mean? Do they mean that children and teachers are unlikely to become ill? That's not what 'schools are safe' should mean. Schools being safe would mean schools are not places of transmission. They clearly are. That is the issue.
- 1) Going in to school to work with children of key workers 2) Setting work for pupils to do remotely 3) Answering questions about this work and giving support 4) Checking, marking and giving feedback 5) Keeping in touch with various pupils who need more help 6) Creating resources
- Teachers coming home from being surrounded by hundreds of people and hearing on the #DailyBriefing that people should take personal responsibility to reduce their contact with others...
GIF - You know what this needs? More muppets. And maybe a little bit of Dickens. But mainly muppets. #AChristmasCarol
- Watching the government briefing where they seemed to suggest that teachers were "returning to work" WE HAVEN'T BEEN OFF WORK 🤬
- If I were school leader I'd be absolutely spitting that my Christmas was ruined by track and trace, setting up mass testing and trying to communicate ever changing messages from the DfE to parents. What an absolute waste of everyone's time. 🤬
- This is absurd. Schools are still open at the moment for children of key workers and teachers are still working with everyone else remotely. Everyone will need a break. Yet again people who have no idea what is going on in schools being given a platform to spout their nonsense.Call for schools to open in the summer after lockdown theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…
- I don’t understand what the exam boards have been doing for months in order to give us the past papers we already had.

- "Apologist for failure" (Andrew Adonis, 2020) is going to be an excellent addition to the back cover of my next book 😉
