An honour to represent Dorset in the Balcomb Trophy @BowlsEngland National Finals @RoyalLeamington It has been a wonderful year and although disappointing to lose to Durham in the semi final we will reflect on what an achievement it has been to get to the Finals. 🟑🟒βšͺ🟑🟒βšͺ🟑🟒

Proud Dad moment @UniofOxford @MansfieldOxford . Danny certainly has not been born with a silver spoon πŸ˜€but through hard work, dedication and resilience anything is possible. Leaving Oxford with a 1st is totally amazing and fully deserved. The world is now your oyster ❀️❀️❀️❀️

A great effort to ensure ALL children have access to books by @AAWoodfields πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
It was such an incredible day and so moving to see children receive books and celebrate reading. We’ll do similar again, and will make sure that everyone gets a book. Everyone got a book token and we gave out vouchers to some incredible readers. Thanks everyone!

Well, it should be consistent. Rosenshine observed Engelmann's work and used it as the basis for his points of effective teaching. Rosenshine didn't invent anything.

Issuing Authority runs in the 1.30 Exeter today. I have to say with all the horses I have shares in this fella is my fav with his big white face and his three white socks. He is very placid too and such a lovely horse. Fingers crossed for a big run embarking on his chasing career

Not the Arsenal nor the mighty Lincoln City but tonight's dose of football action was under the lights @AAWoodfields watching the school team run out 2 - 0 winners on a cold and blustery evening. Congratulations to the lads and the staff on a solid win. βš½πŸ†βš½πŸ†βš½πŸ†βš½πŸ†βš½πŸ†βš½

Well deserved recognition to @AAWoodfields where huge amounts of positive change have been implemented in such a short space of time by @MrDavidScales and his team. I find it a pleasure to visit the school and witness such transformation first hand.
Please watch this ⁦@BBCLookNorth⁩ clip of our wonderful school, and our scholars and ⁦@MrDavidScales⁩ discuss our improvements in all areas in a short space of time. We are mindful that there is much to be done, however this shows how far we’ve come.
