    My sister retired from teaching today after 38 years in the classroom in one school. No one from SLT spoke to her. No staff gathering organised at all. A card - that’s it. She dedicated herself to her craft. Turned down promotions. Wanted to be a great history teacher. 1/2

    An enormous trust with plenty of centralised staff and not one could be bothered to pop and thank her on behalf of the community she served for her whole career. I guess once you become so big people matter less. My sister is my hero

    Tier 4 a day after being told it’s safe to be in school with 100s of people is the final kick.

    Dear Govt, just letting you know… schools cannot be petrol stations too

    Once again @educationgovuk shows their lack of any care to the mental health of school leaders by dumping guidance on a Friday night before opening next week. We work hard to serve our communities and you continue to treat us with no regard whatsoever. I’ve had enough of you

    They didn’t. They cancelled the end of term gathering and popped a card in her pigeon hole

    Thank you for your support with my sister. It seems that her headteacher has had the heads up looking at the panicked emails she’s received this afternoon. Too little, too late I’m afraid. Just apologise that you got it wrong

    A student from our enhanced provision for Autism wanted to sing in assembly. Obviously we needed help from our students. Silence on entry. Waiting to applaud until he’d put his ear defenders on. The next videos show how important empathy is and how remarkable YP are 1/4

    If the Sue Gray report was an Ofsted report how many people would lose their jobs? The head? The whole governing body? The Trust board? Whole Trust removed?

    Thank you all for your kindness. She will see these tweets. No headteacher should EVER undervalue the importance of the dedicated classroom teacher but yet…

    So as a headteacher I can now ask my deputy to do something and, when they do exactly as I asked, I can sack them
